Manager Sam Allardyce feels Martin Olsson should be credited for the goal that gave his Blackburn side a 1-0 win over Hull. Hull stopper Boaz Myhill was credited with the 16th-minute clincher after deflecting Olsson's striker over the line. Allardyce said: "It is very harsh not to give him it. He has shown outstanding ability then hits a hard, low shot. "Martin has emerged this year with some gentle encouragement. He really came to the fore against Aston Villa in the FA Cup. "He is now showing what he can do in the league and is a young, emerging talent I am glad to say."
