Branislav Ivanovic nodded home a late winner for Barclays Premier
League leaders Chelsea as Blackburn squandered a golden chance to
upset the odds at Ewood Park.
Rovers controlled the game for long periods and could have gone
in front for the second time when Jason Roberts shot wide in the
81st minute with the goal at his mercy.
Less than a minute later Carlo Ancelotti's side were heading towards
all three points when the unmarked Ivanovic connected with a Yury
Zhirkov cross at point-blank range.
Rovers boss Sam Allardyce will be left reflecting on how his side
finished up with nothing after an exceptional first-half display
capped by Benjani Mwaruwari's first goal for the club.
