Blackburn Rovers hopes of retaining their Worthington Cup crown still burn bright after they came from behind at Old Trafford to claim a draw.

Blackburn Rovers are a club that have known all about football's high and lows since their foundation in 1875.
Funded by Jack Walker's millions, Rovers immediately launched a sustained assault on Manchester United's title dominance, eventually toppling their Lancashire rivals to win the championship in 1995.
They quickly emerged as one of England's most powerful clubs and by 1928 Rovers had won the league championship twice and the FA Cup on six occasions.

 Newcastle United Football Club - Match reports - Blackburn Rovers (h)
Rovers finally managed a league victory on Tyneside to end a 45-year wait since their last success, in August 1958 since when we've won 11 and drawn 8 of the 19 games staged before today.
Lowest of the season, with Rovers taking up only part of their allocation - and filling it with fans dressed variously as the Teletubbies, the pink panther and what looked from a distance like a yellow parrot - although it could have been a parakeet....
And while the goal that separated the two sides today was dubious and shouldn't have counted, the one that Chopra thought he had scored just before half time was rightly ruled out for offside and that apart, we looked less and less like beating Friedel in goal as the afternoon wore on.

Blackburn were inaugural members at the formation of the Football League in 1888, playing their first game against Accrington Old Reds, a game which ended in a 5 - 5 draw.
Rovers had to wait until 1912 to win their first League Championship, in a First Division that had now grown to 20 clubs.
From their earliest days Blackburn were a highly successful Cup team, reaching their first FA Cup Final in 1882, though they lost 1 - 0 to Old Etonians at the Kennington Oval.

The win sent Blackburn nine points clear of third-from-bottom Norwich and Faye's dismissal - he was booked for a wild challenge on Friedel - provided a fitting end to a miserable match.
Fiesty in the tackle, Blackburn were just as spritely going forward after they had survived an early scare when LuaLua's volley narrowly went past the post.
Portsmouth survived another scare when Hislop lost the flight of a Blackburn corner, but the home side managed to scramble the ball clear.

 Newcastle United Football Club - Match reports - Blackburn (a)
That meant that Rovers were able to push on with little hindrance and when they lost the ball were only ever a stray pass or a non-tackle from regaining their momentum.
The goal when it came was from a bizarre source, as Robert sent over a long throw right to the Rovers six yard box that, along with Shearer's challenge on Friedel unsettled Rovers enough for Bellamy to twist and fire the loose ball home.
Babbel played in Gallagher down the Rovers right and the new Scotland international's ball to the far post found the unmarked Stead on hand to shoot home from an acute angle with a close-in first-term effort that Given could only palm into the net.

Rovers U18s who are top of the FA Premier Academy League, North West Section, continued their unbeaten start to the season with a 2-1 victory against Everton U18s at Netherton on Saturday.
Liverpool have failed to win five of their six League matches this season however Rovers will need to be careful if they are not to suffer from a back lash to Liverpool's last home game when they were beaten 4-1 by Chelsea.
Whilst history would dictate a Liverpool win, Rovers go to Anfield on a high after beating Manchester United at Old Trafford for the first time in over 40 years, so who knows, maybe there could be a reverse of fortunes as well at Anfield.
