Blackburn Rovers Dominic Hyam and West Bromwich Albion's Darnell Furlong

Alex Palmer

Will be disappointed by Leonard’s second goal at his near post. One save from range.

Disappointed 5

Darnell Furlong

Didn’t offer his side enough going forward though Albion were culpable from their left. Right-back needs strengthening.

Struggled 5

Semi Ajayi

The better of Albion’s centre-halves, but Ajayi wasn’t flawless. OK with the ball but nervy at times.

Mixed 6

Cedric Kipre

Handed a start but will be remembered for his awful error for second goal. Goals came from his side of box. Needs work.
