Blackburn 2 Sunderland 2: Brace for Bent but old boy Diouf has last laugh
[LNB]El-Hadji Diouf left Sunderland last January amid stories of an altercation with defender Anton Ferdinand. On Monday in Lancashire the nomadic Senegal forward appeared in the midst of red and white shirts again to dash hopes of a Sunderland win at Ewood Park. [LNB]With 12 minutes of a see-saw second half left, and just four minutes after appearing as a substitute, Diouf arrived in the penalty area to head in a Pascal Chimbonda cross and earn Blackburn a point that the courage of their efforts just about deserved. [LNB]Diouf has always been a talented footballer. His contribution during seven and a half years in English football has never quite done justice to the ability that first came to light for Senegal during the 2002 World Cup.
