Eustace’s men were aiming to match a record set by Rovers’ title-winning side in 199495 by stretching their perfect Ewood start and Tyrhys Dolan’s second of the season early on was ultimately enough to end a losing streak.
Andi Weimann should have added a late second in what was an unconvincing performance, but Blackburn maximised the time they were in the ascendancy.
It is certainly a lesson for Swansea, who had enough of the ball but couldn’t apply the finishing touch, with Florian Bianchini and Goncalo Franco both missing opportunities either side of the break.
Owen Beck returned from suspension for Rovers, who also handed a start to Todd Cantwell. Swansea drafted in Bianchini and Liam Cullen who scored the winner here last season.
