CONFIDENT Blackburn manager John Eustace said he never doubted his team after they secured Championship survival with victory at champions Leicester.

Rovers staying up 'never in doubt'
 

Two second-half goals from the division’s top scorer, Sammie Szmodics, made sure of a victory that kept Blackburn up, and sent Eustace’s former club Birmingham down.

Szmodics now has 27 league goals to his name after a display which was perfectly timed, with Birmingham leading Norwich City at St Andrew’s.

That scenario meant if Leicester were to win the game, then Rovers would slide into League One.

But, after 68 minutes, the ball broke kindly on the halfway line for Szmodics who raced clear as Leicester’s defenders were taken by surprise.

Szmodics’ solo run took him into the Leicester 18yard box and he coolly clipped the ball over goalkeeper Mads Hermansen and into the far corner of the goal.
