An injury-time goal from Per Frandsen rescued a point for Blackburn to keep alive hopes of making the Division One play-offs.

Danish international Frandsen came on after 71 minutes to replace skipper Garry Flitcroft and forced home an equaliser no-one could deny Blackburn after their dominance in a one-sided game.

But it looked as though Norwich would snatch a vital win courtesy of a screaming shot from Daryl Sutch after just 25 minutes.

Blackburn were easily the masters, but they were thwarted by a mixture of resilient defending and poor finishing.

Time without number Blackburn carved open the Norwich defence but just could not find a route to goal.

Flitcroft, Jason McAteer, Keith Gillespie and Nathan Blake all wasted glorious opportunities as the fans grew increasingly restless.

But they need not have worried because Frandsen was determined to have the last laugh.

When it came it was a quality goal, but Norwich pointed angrily at the fact that the referee added five minutes for time-wasting.

A cross from Callum Davidson was headed across the face of the visitors' goal by Christian Dailly and Frandsen nipped in to loop the header beyond Andy Marshall.

Norwich only had themselves to blame for, despite Blackburn's pressure, they still had the best chance of the second half.

Only Iwan Roberts will know how he missed making it 2-0 on the hour.

A great break down the left by Chris Llewellyn had Blackburn stretched, and when the ball came across it looked as though Roberts was certain to score.

But the big striker did not get a clear touch and Alan Kelly made an important save.
