Manchester
United 2 - Blackburn Rovers 1 - BUT It could have been
2-2 .. Brett Emerton found the target for Rovers
- however Dwight Yorke had his goal ruled off side. A true game of
two halves at Old Trafford with the first half giving Blackburn teretorial
advantage - but goals from Ruud van Nistelrooy and Kleberson saw the
reds two up at the break. Paul Gallagher came on for Matt Jansen,
and Nils Eric Johansson for Steve Reid - and the second half was a
differant story. Some great football from Rovers - sadly no points.

WALTER
SMITH has backed his former Rangers sidekick Graeme Souness
to pull Blackburn Rovers out of their current crisis. If anyone can
get Blackburn out of it, Graeme Souness can. He has that determination
that makes him the man for the job. They had a fantastic season last
time out and Graeme has done a tremendous job there. Graeme won't
allow himself to get too despondent when he knows he has got players
capable of winning games." (4th Nov 03) FULL STORY BBCi Sport |
