Blackburn Rovers piled the pressure on the top two last night with a 2-1 home victory over second from bottom Barnsley thanks to Ben Brereton Diaz’s 20th league goal of the season.
The Chile international’s winner came in the 65th minute with a cracking shot which secured his team’s sixth successive victory.
Rovers are just a point behind leaders Bournemouth having played the same number of games and behind second-place Fulham on goal difference after one more game.
Rovers were in total control in the first half and it was no surprise when they took the lead through Joe Rothwell after 24 minutes.
