Blackburn Rovers slipped into the Championship relegation zone with a 3-2 defeat away to fellow strugglers Sheffield Wednesday yesterday.

Although they had led through Jordan Rhodes’ early penalty, Jermaine Johnson scored twice for Wednesday, with his outstanding second in the 78th minute proving decisive.

Rhodes won and scored a 12th-minute penalty after being brought down by goalkeeper Chris Kirkland, but Johnson levelled eight minutes later and Leroy Lita gave Wednesday a 35th-minute lead.

Scott Dann rose to head in a 71st-minute equaliser but Johnson fired home from 25 yards to seal it late on.
