Blackburn Rovers 1 Aston Villa 1: match report McLeish's men had an early chance when N'Zogbia cut the ball back from the right to Marc Albrighton, whose 10-yard shot was deflected over. Blackburn threatened when Morten Gamst Pedersen's powerful drive was blocked by Stephen Warnock, but the home side were on the back foot. Villa got the goal that their pressure deserved when Carlos Cuellar cut inside from the left with a purposeful run then threaded the ball forward for N'Zogbia. The former Wigan winger took one touch to control the ball then smashed it beyond goalkeeper Paul Robinson from 12 yards. N'Zogbia came close to doubling the lead when he connected well from similar distance, following an Ireland cross from the right, but Robinson made a good, reflex block to parry. Blackburn were looking poor but they did miss an excellent opening just before half-time as Junior Hoilett shot off target from close range. Robinson's impressive display continued, early in the second half, as he tipped away Ireland's low shot then gathered the loose ball before Alan Hutton could pounce. And Blackburn finally showed some more life going forward as Scott Dann headed over the bar from close range and Pedersen had a 30-yard volley pushed clear by Shay Given. Robinson then produced heroics for the third time, saving Agbonlahor's six-yard header from Stephen Warnockâ€˜s cross. Agbonlahor was irritated again when he went down, claiming a penalty, after a tussle with Grant Hanley. And those frustrations were exacerbated when David Dunn headed in at the back post following a deep, right-sided cross from Bradley Orr and rescued a point.
