Blackburn Rovers 1-2 West Bromwich Albion: Rovers go top of Championship

Ben Brereton Diaz scored one and made another as Blackburn Rovers went top of the Championship with a 2-1 win over West Bromwich Albion.

Having not had a shot for much of the first half, star Rovers forward Brereton Diaz gave his side the lead with a curling left-footed effort into the bottom corner from the edge of the box.

Shortly after the interval the Chile international turned provider with some excellent work down the left wing to feed Sam Gallagher, who side-footed home from 18 yards.

Grady Diangana pulled one back soon after his strike took a deflection which wrong-footed Thomas Kaminski in the Rovers goal.
