Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Fulham

Blackburn Rovers 1-0 FulhamMatt Derbyshire gave Paul Ince his first Barclays Premier League home win with an 84th-minute winner over Fulham.

The local hero completed a move started by fellow substitute and debutant Carlos Villanueva, whose magnificent through-ball was nodded into the striker's path by Roque Santa Cruz.

Andy Johnson was denied a fifth-minute opener for Fulham by a superb save from Paul Robinson, while Brett Emerton almost broke the deadlock for Rovers in the 39th minute but saw his left-foot effort hit the post.
