BLACKBURN ROVERS LFC (4) v WATFORD LFC (2)
FA Tesco Women's Premier League - National League
Goals - Blackburn (Sheen, Shepherd, Roberts, Anderton)
Watford (Wiltshire, Madden)
Blackburn Rovers much improved form continued today, as they fought back from a goal down at the break to record a much needed win.
Rovers had the better of the first half with some poor finishing and Watford handball going unpunished.
A moment of slack concentration in the Blackburn defence led to Watford taking the lead with Sarah Wiltshire chipping Danielle Hill from 25 yards.
Watford looked good for the points at half-time but Rovers were soon on level terms with a precision shot from in-form striker Danielle Sheen.
Inspired by Sheen's equalising goal, Blackburn poured forward and were rewarded with a goal from midfielder Lynda Shepherd, who scored from close range.
The points were secure when a bullet header from centre-back Rhiannon Roberts put Rovers 3-1. Roberts rose in true Colin Hendry style, as she continued her fine run of performances.
Katie Anderton scored Rovers' 4th goal with a long range shot, before Watford's Jadine Madden reduced the arrears in the last few minutes.
This vital win lifted Blackburn up one place and off the bottom of the table, as they also had the welcome return of full-back Nicole Emmanual, a second half substitute after two years out with injury.
