Blackburn Rovers 1 vs 1 Manchester City



Milner, who has been absolutely everywhere today, plays the ball back from the left towards Toure, who lifts a ball over looking for Dzeko, but Dann gets a vital touch to send it behind for a corner.
 
78′
Jordan Rhodes and DJ Campbell will shortly be coming on for the hosts. Bowyer is going for it as we approach the final 10 minutes.
 
77′
NAVAS GOES CLOSE!! The winger almost makes an immediate impact as he receives the ball 25 yards out, works it on to his right and fires a dipping effort towards the corner of the net which Robinson does really well to divert around the post.
 
76′
Here's a bizarre one - apparently Pellegrini wanted to take off Dzeko but gave the fourth official the wrong number!! Incredible!
 
75′
Negredo makes way for the Spanish winger and City have the ball, but Milner eventually loses out to Henley and the hosts have a throw right by their own corner flag.
 
74′
Substitution Negredo Jesús Navas González
 
74′
It looks like Jesus Navas is about to be introduced. Pellegrini wants to stretch the hosts and get this tie done and dusted.
 
73′
ROCKET FROM DZEKO!! Robinson has a very lucky escape!! The striker has the ball 30 yards out and drills a fierce effort at goal. It's straight at the Blackburn goalkeeper but he fumbles the effort and bounces down before hitting him on the leg and he gathers at the second attempt. That could so easily have gone into the net.
 
72′
Gestede does really well to put pressure on Lescott and he plays the ball straight into the path of Lowe. Spurr then lifts the ball over the head of Boyata for King to chase, but the defender does well to keep possession and clear.
 
70′
The last 25 minutes have absolutely flown by, and we've got just 20 left at Ewood Park. Can either side force their way in front, or will they both be in the pot for the fourth round draw?
