Blackburn Rovers head coach Michael O’Neill told BBC Radio Lancashire:
“Relieved, more than anything else, delighted for the players, delighted for the club.
“I don’t like to call it a celebration because you never want to be in this situation. A really good performance, first half was a terrific performance, second half we had to show a different side of our character. To come here and win 3-1 is testament
Oxford United moved within a point of Championship safety and extended their unbeaten run at the Kassam Stadium to five matches with victory over out-of-form Watford.
January signing Peart-Harris slotted in from close range in the 19th minute, and Mark Harris sealed the victory two minutes into stoppage time to keep Oxford a point behind Portsmouth and move them four points above second-bottom Leicester City, although Pompey have a match
A draw was never going really going to be enough for either side at Fratton Park.
However, given circumstances, it’s a good point for Pompey and one that got away for Oxford.
Connor Ogilvie’s early red card was very harsh. The reaction of the players and coaches on both sides showed no one was expecting it.
Oxford’s Brodie Spencer was lucky not to receive a yellow card in the second
Bristol City struggled to pose many questions of Albion’s back line in the first half and, in fact, the visitors might have doubled their advantage before the break when Jayson Molumby fired a low drive just wide of Radek Vitek’s post when a long throw-in was only half cleared.

Ethan Galbraith’s precise finish put Swansea in front and the visitors’ first-half control was rewarded with a second goal when Josh Key’s deflected drive dipped inside the far post.
Portsmouth had hit the woodwork through Jacob Brown early on, but laboured in attack until
Wolves’ winless start is just two matches short of the Premier League record of 17 games set by Sheffield United in 2020-21.
It has led to unrest and several supporters’ groups organised a boycott of the opening 15 minutes of Monday’s 4-1 defeat by Manchester United at Molineux to protest against Fosun’s running of the club.

When more than half the league has been proven to be better than you, should you even be celebrating at all? The answer is an unequivocal yes, if you are Oxford United.
With the battles for the title, the play-offs and the race to stay up chaotically going to the wire, the U’s securing their
Despite an encouraging start to the campaign, the U’s hit a rough patch around Christmas that ended with previous boss Des Buckingham losing his job.
Buckingham’s sacking was met with a fair bit of criticism by some Oxford fans. He was a popular figure at the Kassam, having led them to promotion the summer before.
