Blackburn 0-0 Hull City - Rovers frustrated by Tigers in nervy Ewood draw

Championship promotion hopefuls Blackburn Rovers dropped two points at a nervous Ewood Park as they were held to a goalless draw by Hull City.

In a game of very few chances, substitute Harry Leonard came closest to an injury-time winner when he slid in at the far post and just failed to connect with Ryan Hedges' low left-wing cross.

Fellow sub Sorba Thomas then found the side netting as Rovers at least produced a grandstand finish.

But it was otherwise a desperate evening in east Lancashire which betrayed the size of the prize on offer for an apprehensive Rovers as they bid to follow great local rivals Burnley back into the Premier League.
