Sunderland where undone by their own bad defending As Blackburn scored two goals within two minutes. The game was very even and you got the feeling who ever scored first would go on to win. Blackburn did just that but it was Sunderland`s own undoing which saw them go behind just after the break. Bentley scored Blackburn`s first after Roque Santa Cruz`s blocked shot fell perfectly for him. Bentley then had time to pick his spot and Gordon had no chance. Roque Santa Cruz capitalised on another Sunderland mistake seconds later as Higginbotham`s under hit back pass was collected by Emerton. Emerton`s shot was then spilled by Gordon back to the Australian. Emerton did no more than head the ball in to the path of Cruz for a tap in. Sunderland then scored another cracking late goal but it was too little too late when Grant Leadbitter thumped home a 20 yarder to make it a nervy 4 minutes for Blackburn. |
