Coventry keeper earns last-gasp draw at Blackburn

F4S Staff


Sam Gallagher headed his eighth goal of the season – and his first in six games – to put Rovers ahead

Coventry goalkeeper Ben Wilson scored a dramatic stoppage-time equaliser to earn a point at play-off rivals Blackburn at Ewood Park.

Sam Gallagher steered a superb diving header into the bottom corner from Joe Rankin-Costello’s floated cross to give Rovers a deserved half-time lead.

The hosts looked to have withheld late pressure until Wilson bundled Gustavo Hamer’s corner over the line in the sixth minute of stoppage-time.
