| George Donis scores for Blackburn Rovers |
Coventry City had made it into the new years as English Champions, seeing off the challenge of Sunderland, but life can be tough at the bottom.
Blackburn Rovers had declined over the last couple seasons but could still provide the occasional reminder of just why they had been Premier League Champions.
Blackburn set the ball rolling early on with Chris Sutton heading in from a corner. It got worse for the Sky Blues a few minutes later when Dion Dublin was shown a red card for a two footed challenge.
Blackburn doubled their lead shortly after, Tim Sherwood hitting the post from a header but Kevin Gallacher storming in to blast in the rebound.
Before half-time it was 3-0 to Rovers. Ogrizovic done well to keep out a header from a Blackburn corner but poacher Sutton was on hand to get his second of the game.
Coventry done well not to concede any more until the 76th minute, a fine team move from Blackburn finished off by George Donis (nope, don't remember him either).
Blackburn Rovers, Unofficial English Champions for a record FIVE times.
