Shane Duffy has given Blackburn Rovers a 1-0 lead going into half time of their Championship clash with Millwall this evening as the hosts' worrying recent form continues.

Blackburn had the better of the game's opening exchanges, and saw plenty of the ball early on.

Tom Cairney found himself in space on the edge of the Millwall box and played in Alex Baptiste, but the defender's shot went into the side-netting.

Trickery from Ben Marshall down the left then eventually led to the ball being played in to Jordan Rhodes, who headed inches wide in what was a let-off for the hosts.

The half did not go all Blackburn's way, however, and Shaun Williams forced Jason Steele into a save with a powerful drive from 35 yards.

Despite the chance it was Blackburn who looked the more threatening and Duffy put them in front when he followed in Marshall's free kick.
