Queens Park Rangers 1-1 Blackburn Rovers 2011


Christopher Samba's towering header helped beleaguered Blackburn Rovers secure a point at Queens Park Rangers - but results elsewhere saw Steve Kean's side end the day bottom of the Barclays Premier League.
Rangers came into the match on the back of a 6-0 defeat at near neighbours Fulham but responded well, dominating the majority of the first period.
QPR's early momentum paid dividends as they took the lead in the 16th minute through Heidar Helguson's deft cross-shot.
The striker's goal was the west Londoners' first at Loftus Road this season, but their joy was short-lived as Samba latched on to Jason Lowe's corner to put Kean's side level.
Both sides wasted chances to win the match in the second half, with results elsewhere putting Blackburn bottom of the league despite ending a two-match losing streak.
Jamie Mackie was named in the QPR starting line-up for the first time since suffering a double leg break against the same opponents. The 26-year-old was injured in a collision with Gael Givet in an FA Cup tie in January.
Mackie was one of three changes made by manager Neil Warnock, with Helguson and Armand Traore also included in the side.
Blackburn made three changes to the side that lost 4-0 to Manchester City, drafting in Jason Roberts, Michel Salgado and Martin Olsson.
