In a match forever remembered by the death of a Blackburn fan, Stoke City came out of this with an easy win.
Danny Higginbotham, Mamady Sidibe and Matthew Etherington scored for Stoke. Etherington had a top class performance, which has fueled rumors of him being called to the national team – something that Stoke boss Tony Pulis qualifies as “brilliant for [Stoke]”
Blackburn have poor defending to complain about, but also bad form up front. The Rovers rarely got a shot in, and are looking at a troublesome ending to the league in they don’t improve.
