Blackburn draw with Coventry to end losing runBen Brereton's first-half goal helped Blackburn end their five-game losing run with a point against 10-man Coventry.
The visitors struck the bar inside 20 seconds but found themselves behind after 27 minutes when Brereton struck a sweetly-struck shot past Ben Wilson.
Rovers held their lead until the 50th minute when the Sky Blues equalised after Matty James applied the finish to Tyler Walker's headed pass.
Coventry had Leo Ostigard sent off with eight minutes remaining after the Norwegian picked-up a second yellow card as the game finished all-square.
The Sky Blues made a bright start to the game, hitting the bar inside the opening minute when Sam McCallum's cross sailed over Thomas Kaminski and grazed the top of the woodwork.
McCallum was involved again soon after but dragged a shot wide from the edge of the area, before Jordan Shipley fired over on the half-volley.
The hosts took some time to settle but went close after 21 minutes when Harvey Elliott produced an inviting cross which looked destined to find Brereton until Ostigard intervened.
Rovers were rewarded for their improvement shortly before the half-hour mark when Ryan Nyambe's ball was not dealt with by the Coventry defence, allowing Brereton to lash it home from just outside the box.
The Sky Blues thought they had equalised soon afterwards but Ostigard's effort from a McCallum pass was ruled out for offside.
Blackburn then went close to doubling their lead a minute before half-time when Barry Douglas swung in a dangerous free-kick which missed everyone but rebounded off the post.
Coventry got themselves back on level terms five minutes into the second half when the influential McCallum's cross was headed-down by Walker to James, who found the back of the net.
Their chances of claiming all three points took a blow when Ostigard was dismissed, but the draw does move them six points clear of the relegation zone.
Coventry manager Mark Robins told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire:
"I thought we started brightly and controlled the game and then for whatever inexplicable reason we started giving the ball away, which gives them a little bit of a foothold and they've got quality players in the final third.
"You can't switch-off for a second but we gave them a sniff and they ended up scoring the goal. Our away performances haven't been good enough but this week's away performances have actually been to a good level, even though we've not got the points we think we deserve.
"To go down to ten men was a travesty. I didn't think there was anything in the second one but he [the referee] got his cards out really quick to send him off and obviously that's a blow to us to win the game."
