Stoke puts a dent in Blackburn's promotion hopes
Mid-table Stoke City sprung a surprise in the Championship on Saturday (AEDT), scoring a 3-2 home win against a Blackburn Rovers side chasing automatic promotion to the Premier League.
Rovers came into the match on a run of 10 games unbeaten, but was completely outplayed by an inspired host in the Stoke, which led comfortably 3-0 until a late rally from Blackburn gave the scoreline a less accurate appearance.
