Roberts rises to boost Rovers
Jason Roberts recovered from a bout of swine flu to leave Portsmouth feeling pig-sick at Ewood Park as Blackburn came from behind to win 3-1.[LNB]Jamie O'Hara fired the visitors ahead with a 30-yard strike past Paul Robinson in the 15th minute.[LNB]But Roberts clambered off the bench at the break to steer a 52nd-minute equaliser past David James and added Rovers' third after Ryan Nelsen had netted a rare goal to put his side in front.[LNB]Pompey's lead came out of nowhere when Aruna Dindane fed O'Hara and he found a way past Robinson with a low shot from 30 yards.[LNB]Sam Allardyce's double change at half-time - introducing Roberts and Benni McCarthy - paid dividends when Nelsen headed down David Dunn's corner in the box and Roberts reacted quickest to steer the equaliser past James.[LNB]Nelsen's superb 73rd-minute header put the home side in front and Roberts wrapped up the points five minutes from time.
