Derrick Williams' glancing header was enough for Blackburn to beat Hull 1-0 in the Sky Bet Championship on Tuesday, after Jarrod Bowen had an early penalty saved.
12 minutes into the game, Bradley Johnson fouled Jackson Irvine inside the area to give Hull an early advantage, but Blackburn goalkeeper Christen Walton got across to save Bowen's thunderous spot-kick.
The first half ended goalless despite an entertaining attacking performance from both sides - with Kamil Grosicki and Stewart Downing each hitting the post - and it was the latter who saw his free-kick glanced home by Williams (62) to ultimately seal the win.
At this early stage in the season, the win sees Blackburn leapfrog from 18th to 10th - where Hull had started the game - as Grant McCann's side drop into 14th.

Poor tonight. Where is Milinkovik? He looked outstanding at Tranmere. A real attacking threat. Just what we need.

Our new signings have made us a far better team. Never seen a 35 year old work so hard, even in the 95th minute in Downing. Brilliant result.

Lots complaining about the ref but he didn't miss our penalty. Bowen did.
