Events

Match Events

0' The game is set. Blackburn Rovers FC kicks off things out of here…
5' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Lewis Travis.
8' Magnificent from Adam Armstrong! That is 91 goals in 397 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
13' Rolando Aarons is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Huddersfield Town AFC tonight.
18' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
22' What composure from Ben Brereton! The Chile international strokes it home. 2-0.
26' Darragh Lenihan picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
31' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Huddersfield Town AFC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
36' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Taylor Harwood-Bellis suffering a number of foals already.
41' Aaron Rowe has been relatively quiet despite scoring 5 goals in his last 384 appearances.
45' What a strike from Ryan Nyambe! The score is 3-0.
50' Scott High has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 15 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
54' A stunning finish from Adam Armstrong — that came from absolutely nowhere!
57' Goal! Sam Gallagher scores his 44 goal in 363 matches.
58' A change in the Huddersfield Town AFC ranks — Juninho Bacuna exits the field as Rolando Aarons enters on 58.
60' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Adam Armstrong makes it 6-0.
64' Blackburn Rovers FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jacob Davenport is hanging Lewis Travis on the field on 64 minute.
66' Another substitution for Huddersfield Town AFC to replace Richard Keogh by Rarmani Edmonds-Green on 66 minute.
69' Scott High is replacing Jonathan Hogg for the Huddersfield Town AFC side.
74' Another change for Blackburn Rovers FC made on 74 minute. Adam Armstrong leaves to be changed by Tyrhys Dolan.
79' The travelling Huddersfield Town AFC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
82' Josh Koroma doubles the advantage! 6-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
82' Duane Holmes was booked on 82.
87' Huddersfield Town AFC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 87.
89' A moment of madness from Jacob Davenport on 89 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Blackburn Rovers FC will be frustrated.
Blackburn Rovers FC celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
