Junior Hoilett's superb strike helped Blackburn improve their hopes of Premier League survival by beating Norwich.
The Canadian's curling effort beat John Ruddy after the break, to seal victory and reverse a run of five defeats on the trot.
Mauro Formica had given Rovers the lead from Morten Gamst Pedersen's cross after a strong first half performance from the Canaries.
But off-target efforts from Aaron Wilbraham and Ryan Bennett were as close as they came to scoring.
Yakubu also hit a post before Blackburn took the lead and, although their status looked perilous heading into the match, victory gives Steve Kean's side a lift with a tough set of three games to come.
Blackburn travel to Tottenham and Chelsea, either side of a crucial home game against Wigan, so three points against Norwich was vital.
The victory lifted Rovers above Bolton and briefly level on points with QPR, although they went three points adrift of safety again after Rangers' 1-0 victory over Tottenham later on Saturday.
And though their fans were supportive throughout, there were constant reminders that relegation worries are outstripped by the ongoing concerns about the club's ownership.
Chants of "Steve Kean out" and [the club's owner's] "Venky's out" were more than a footnote of the club's state and supporters will cast an envious glance towards their opponents as the season comes to a finale.
Norwich actually started the game as though they were fighting Premier League relegation, such was their greater purpose and had justification to feel hard done by when they went in behind at the break.
