    Sam Gallagher

    A nightmare for Arthur Okonkwo!

    Rovers turn the game on its head.

    Wrexham make it so easy for Sam Gallagher, Ben Tozer over committed to a challenge and was turned easily and Gallagher raced clear.

    There was still work to be done, but for some reason Arthur Okonkwo half came to meet him and allowed Gallagher to easily roll the ball past him into an empty net.

    Crazy goalkeeping.

    Sammie Szmodics

    No mistake this time!

    Sammie Szmodics scores his 20th goal of the season.

    It was a lovely move from Blackburn, they pushed and probed before Sam Gallagher's pass to Szmodics completely split the Wrexham defence.

    Game on.

    Blackburn look like they've lost that momentum, they've taken their foot off the gas.

    It looks like Blackburn have been wounded, they need a response.

    What a difference a goal can make, you can see Wrexham grow in confidence when they have the ball.

    That Sammie Szmodics miss seems massive now.

    The goal has only seen Wrexham's confidence grow.

    Suddenly they are a real threat.

    Giving the ball away in your own final third, it can't happen.

    Take nothing away from Andy Cannon and Wrexham, they have well and truly seized that opportunity.

    Blackburn Rovers 0-1 Wrexham

    A superb double save by Aynsley Pears!

    First he got down to deny Andy Cannon a second goal and then he sprung to his feet and managed to tip-over James McClean's powerful shot.

    Could easily be 2-0.

    Good movement again from Blackburn, but Sam Gallagher's acrobatic volley goes miles over the bar.

    Andy Cannon has delivered a cannon!

    An unbelievable transition from Wrexham.

    It looked for all the world to see that he was going to go across the goalkeeper, but he blasts it in at the near post.

    It's electric in that away end.

    Wrexham have weathered the storm and stepped up.

    That is a great goal, Andy Cannon has hit that with violence.

    What a cracker!

    Andy Cannon

    A blast from Andy Cannon!

    Wrexham score with their first big chance!

    Blackburn turn over possession and Wrexham work the ball to Andy Cannon who takes a touch and then absolutely smashes the ball past Aynsley Pears who had absolutely no chance.

    The League Two side lead.

    Wrexham win a freekick in "is Gascoigne going to have a crack, he is you know," territory, or near enough... but Paul Mullin's effort lacked power.

    Another easy save for Aynsley Pears.

    But better, from Wrexham.

    Ben Tozer gets a first chance to do one of his hugely long throws.

    He pings it to the near post, but the Wrexham header is easily saved by Aynsley Pears.

    I'm really enjoying the way Blackburn have started the game.

    At the moment they're too good for Wrexham, you just hope Blackburn can keep up this momentum.

    The Wrexham players stopped, they saw the flag go up nice and early.

    Blackburn have the ball in the net, but it's one of those where everyone has already stopped, because it's offside.

    So it's no goal, 0-0, we play on.

    A first sniff for Wrexham on the counter-attack, but Blackburn stop Paul Mullin from getting a shot away.

    Blackburn are certainly on top.

    Sam Gallagher wriggles clear in the box, but his shot is blocked by Eoghan O'Connell.

    The hosts continue to pressure and Jake Garrett fires over.

    A goal is coming for the hosts if Wrexham don't improve.

    It's key for Wrexham to get forward and win set-pieces, because Blackburn are weak in that area.

    Blackburn need to play higher up the pitch and establish control early, they need to quite down those Wrexham fans.
