Blackburn goal power sinks Fulham
20/08/2005 - 17:41:25Blackburn 2 Fulham 1
Two goals of outstanding quality suggested Blackburn will not be drawn into another Barclays Premiership relegation battle this season.
Rovers’ opening goal from Morten Gamst Pedersen was incisively crafted and exquisitely finished during a first half dominated by Mark Hughes’ side.
Brian McBride offered a feeble-looking Fulham hope early in the second half, before the unlikely figure of Tugay ended his 17-month wait for a top-flight goal with a sumptuous volley to deservedly get Blackburn off the mark this term.
