We earned a hard-fought point in the Premier League 2 with a 1-1 draw against Blackburn Rovers on a windy Saturday afternoon in Leyland.
Charles Sagoe Jr opened the scoring inside 10 minutes, wrong-footing Joe Hilton in the Blackburn goal with a clever finish at the near post after Matt Smith's line-breaking pass.
The hosts responded well to the early setback, Harry Leonard testing Hubert Grazcyk with a header at the back post, before Jared Harlock looked certain to score an equaliser, but for Zach Awe's heroic defensive intervention.
Mehmet Ali's side regained control of the half, with Smith and Mauro Bandeira beginning to dictate the tempo in midfield, the latter impressing with several forceful runs from deep.
