Yuki Ohashi’s strike just before the break proved enough for Blackburn to take the points from a hard-earned 1-0 Championship victory over Bristol City at Ashton Gate on Tuesday night.

The decisive moment came in the fifth of eight minutes of stoppage time at the end of the first half when Ryoya Morishita skilfully got behind City’s defence on the right and crossed low for Ohashi to fire home from the edge of the six-yard box.
Rovers defended their lead with huge commitment and were good value for their win against a home side who created little in the way of clear chances.
Gerhard Struber made three changes to the City team hammered 5-1 at Stoke on Saturday, with Haydon Roberts replacing the injured Rob Atkinson, Ross McCrorie coming in for Mark Sykes who was on the subs bench and Emil Riis for Sinclair Armstrong.
