West Bromwich Albion 2-2 Blackburn Rovers

13 mins - Blackburn grab the opener with a Benni McCarthy penalty. Bit weak but Jason Roberts did have his shirt tugged by Ryan Donk. 

37 mins - SENDING OFF (Benni McCarthy, Blackburn)
The South African striker is booked for a second time in the game and he has to go. This one is for a handball in the middle of the park and he can have few complaints, the former Porto man.

55 mins - Ishmael Miller slips in Roman Bednar and his low shot creeps into the corner from 16 yards.

62 mins - Ishmael Miller turns well on the edge of the area and spanks a low left-foot shot past Paul Robinson to put the Baggies ahead.

89 mins - Keith Andrews snatches Rovers a point in the dying seconds with his first goal for the club and it's a great hit, a 25-yard low right-foot drive that beats Scott Carson's despairing dive.

West Brom: Carson, Zuiverloon, Donk, Olsson, Robinson, Koren, Greening, Morrison, Borja Valero, Bednar, Miller. Subs: Kiely, Hoefkens, Cech, Brunt, Kim, Moore, Pele.

Blackburn: Robinson, Simpson, Samba, Nelsen, Olsson, Emerton, Andrews, Grella, Warnock, McCarthy, Roberts. Subs: Brown, Kerimoglu, Pedersen, Khizanishvili, Villanueva, Fowler, Derbyshire.

Referee: Mike Jones (Cheshire).

Paul IncePaul Ince has been sacked by Blackburn Rovers after six months as manager of the Lancashire club.
Ince has been in charge for just 17 Barclays Premier League matches but paid the price for a run of six successive league defeats with Rovers taking just one point from a possible 33.

The Ewood Park side are currently second from bottom and in danger of relegation forcing the board to reluctantly make a change.

A club statement said:

"It is with great sadness the Board announce that Paul Ince is to leave the club. After a Board meeting yesterday it was decided to relieve Paul of his duties.

The Board, having selected Paul back in June, were desperate for him to succeed and wanted to give him as much time as possible in the unforgiving environment of Premier League management where time is such a precious commodity."

Chairman John Williams said "Three wins in 17 games has seen a squad, which finished seventh last season, fall to 19th position. We are currently in real danger of becoming detached from the pack.

"The survival of the club in the Premier League is paramount and our focus now is on finding a replacement who will be able to maintain our top division status.

"Paul will bounce back, he is a fighter and we wish him well."
