Sheffield United won 2-1 at Blackburn Rovers in the Championship after trailing, with Tom Cannon and Sydie Peck scoring within nine first-half minutes of Kristi Montgomery putting the hosts ahead. Rovers had far the better of the contest by volume, but it was a second consecutive defeat.
Chris Wilder's side had barely threatened for the first 34 minutes. They then turned the match with their only two efforts of the half.
Blackburn lead, then lose the thread
Blackburn's early dominance was rewarded in the 19th minute, when Montgomery took the ball off Peck and swept it into the top corner for his first goal for the club. It came in a match Rovers began without a recognised striker, with Yuki Ohashi and Andri Gudjohnsen both unavailable through injury.
