00:00deficit next week. Paul McGrath of Aston Villa in direct opposition today to the Blackburn and

00:06England centre forward Alan Shearer who passed a late fitness test on a back injury. Shearer

00:12returns to a Rovers side that sees Tony Gale restored to the back four after being rested

00:17in midweek. In midfield Mark Atkins gets the vote alongside Sherwood while David Batty is back in

00:23plaster. Sean Teal who asked for a transfer yesterday is part of a three-man Villa back

00:29line. They'll push full-backs Barrett and Staunton forward and give the informed Dwight York license

00:35to attack down the right. The Ghanaian teenager Nee Lamptey who scored on his debut on Wednesday

00:40is one of the substitutes while John Fashionu is injured.

00:46And the...

00:47Shaking off Sherwood. Atkinson.

00:54And Saunders nearly for the return.

00:59Well it's a good bright opening here. Both teams

01:04pushing players forward. Wilcox

01:07Good dummy

01:10Forward ball by Atkins. This is Wilcox

01:19chased by Barrett

01:21Shearer and Sutton waiting in the middle now

01:24And Lesseau looks for one of them. Oh, and he's found Sutton via Ehiog. And Sutton goes... Oh! Penalty

01:34Got to be...

01:36Well, Chris Sutton takes credit. He had two players to beat and he threatened to go past both of them.

01:47Stornton first. Now Ehiog comes across and he's the man who brings him down. And it's a penalty to Blackburn.

02:00Alan Shearer takes the ball.

02:04Alan Shearer takes the ball.

02:08And the responsibility.

02:12And scores.

02:13Well, those two strikers, Sutton who won the penalty, Shearer who put it away, open up this match.

02:31Bosnich given no chance.

02:43That was forward by Shearer to Ripley. Sutton is the man in the middle for Blackburn.

02:49It's a very good header by Ugo Ehiog.

02:53It had to be, mind you.

02:55Because there was nothing wrong with the cross or with Sutton's positioning.

02:58Too long for Hendry.

03:08Who decided to tackle the corner flag.

03:13Played by Sutton.

03:16And he got it back.

03:21Well, I haven't seen all his games for Blackburn, but I wouldn't imagine he's had too many

03:26periods better than this first 45 minutes.

03:32And again, the Blackburn goalkeeper, Tim Flowers, who's threatening David Seaman for the England number one position.

03:42Well, this would have done him no harm in the eyes of Terry Venables.

03:44And Sherwood tucks that into Sutton.

03:55Now there is a chance here.

03:57It's Ripley.

03:58Shearer far side.

04:00And there's the chance.

04:02Oh, good block.

04:03And was he offside?

04:05No, the goal is given.

04:06It was Chris Sutton who tucked it in.

04:09But Shearer made it.

04:12And Aston Villa wondering just what hit them there.

04:17Blackburn broke down the right-hand side with Ripley.

04:19Now then, Sutton in there, tucks it on.

04:23There's Shearer.

04:24There's the block by Ehiog.

04:25Shearer again, and Sutton is right on the line.

04:29Is he offside?

04:30Well, it's perhaps a point for discussion.

04:35When that ball comes in again, no, I don't think he is.

04:45And Aston Villa to make a change.

04:48And we're going to see Nii Lapty, the 19-year-old who they signed from Anderlecht,

04:54replaces Sean Teal.

04:56They're queuing up in the centre here for Shearer.

04:59And it's Ripley.

05:01Great save.

05:03Oh, that was good stuff by Bosnich.

05:07No mean strike either by Stuart Ripley.

05:13Shearer's cross.

05:16Ripley on the volley here.

05:18Look at that.

05:25This has become a very good game,

05:27and Blackburn are forcing most of it now.

05:34And Lapty and Lesseau.

05:35This is Shearer.

05:50Wilcox darts forward.

05:51Here's Sutton.

05:52Oh, and Wilcox.

05:53Well, if Blackburn can produce this on Tuesday in Sweden,

05:58they may well survive in Europe.

06:01Berg.

06:05Wilcox.

06:05And Wilcox again.

06:19Sherwood.

06:21Sutton.

06:22Shearer.

06:23Oh, Atkins round the back.

06:25Good save again by Bosnich.

06:31Two excellent responses from Bosnich.

06:35Ripley and Atkins, the players denied.

06:37By Flowers.

06:41A really excellent clearance.

06:43Sutton to Shearer.

06:44Chucks on for Blackburn.

06:46Three.

06:48And the man who made the goal for Shearer was his own goalkeeper.

06:51Well, no wonder they're congratulating Tim Flowers.

06:58I've not seen a better long kick by a goalkeeper for a long time.

07:03He looked up and saw two against one in the other half,

07:06and he picked them out with precision.

07:09It's Sutton who he found.

07:11The header on was perfect.

07:13Shearer is not going to be denied in a position like this.

07:19And the assist comes from Tim Flowers.

07:22The bounce.

07:24The header.

07:25The run.

07:26And wait for it.

07:27The finish.

07:31By Hendry on Lamptey.

07:37And the Villa players are concerned about this,

07:40because that looks like a facial injury for the little Garnian.

07:46He's a...

07:47It's the head on the side of the face, isn't it?

07:52Or on the shoulder, anyway.

07:53Well, you can't be too careful with injuries like that.

08:05And the 19-year-old gets some sympathetic applause

08:09from people who will be hoping he's OK.

08:11And Saunders knocking Hendry off the ball.

08:31This is Daly and Atkinson now.

08:33Now, there is a chance here.

08:36Oh, he's hit the bar.

08:38And Atkinson now.

08:41And that's away from the line.

08:43It was...

08:43It was Fenton

08:45initially.

08:50But Daly and Atkinson had a second chance.

08:54And Lasso scrambled it away.

08:56Fenton, who's just come on,

08:59clipping that against the crossbar.

09:02And news coming from the Villa dressing room

09:05that Lee Lamptey has recovered consciousness,

09:08but he's got to have stitches under his chin.

09:12Fouled by Warhurst on York.

09:14Gives Villa a free kick in stoppage time.

09:17In it goes from Richardson.

09:21There's the header.

09:22And there's one back.

09:25Ejio got it.

09:28The big man up from the back.

09:30Scores for Villa.

09:32It's only a consolation.

09:34But it's an important goal for him.

09:43Blackman Rovers maintaining their strong home form

09:46in the Premiership.

09:47A belligerent second-half performance,

09:49particularly by Chris Sutton

09:51and Alan Shearer.

09:54Between them,

09:55they conjured the three goals

09:58by which Blackman took hold of the game.

10:01And when Villa replied,

10:02it was all too late.
