Allardyce insists Blackburn deserved something in Spurs defeat

Blackburn Rovers boss Sam Allardyce insists they deserved something after defeat by Tottenham.

Peter Crouch got both goals in the 2-0 victory for Spurs at Ewood Park to keep the pressure on the leaders.

But Allardyce said: "I would say 99 times out of 100 he would have scored but the goalkeeper has got something on it and it has hit the post.

"As hard as we tried after that we couldn't find another opening. It is one of our problems. We changed the system to go more attacking but Crouchy finished us off.

"We are bitterly disappointed with the result and getting no reward after doing a great job on one of the most attack-minded sides in the league."
