Meanwhile, Blackburn continued their fine home form with a comfortable 3-1 victory over Rotherham United.
While they have won their last three home games, they have struggled to match that form on the road, where they are on a run of consecutive defeats. With 21 points from 13 games, Blackburn are seventh in the standings, level on points with sixth-placed Swansea City.
