What they Said

"Alan Shearer stopped the Blackburn rot with a goal to salvage a vital point with a magnificent opportunist volley in the 52nd minute."

Alan Shearer stopped the Blackburn rot with a goal to salvage a vital point with a magnificent opportunist volley in the 52nd minute.

Without it, Ray Harford would've been in trouble: few Champions lose more than five games in a season but Rovers were facing a fourth defeat in five games.

A superb strike from Villaโ€™s Savo Miloลกeviฤ‡ threatened to stretch Rovers losing run and his first goal for his new club was worth waiting for: Henning Berg blocked of Dwight Yorke's run and the ball spun to Miloลกeviฤ‡ who struck a left foot curler with pace and accuracy from 20 yards.

If Miloลกeviฤ‡ had taken two other good chances, Blackburn would now already be preparing to remove the title trophy from their cabinet.
