Southampton striker Sam Gallagher happy to get off the mark for Blackburn

Southampton striker Sam Gallagher is off the mark for Blackburn Rovers.

Blackburn are still rooted to the foot of the Championship after Tom Naylor's late header rescued a point for Burton.

Gallagher said: “Getting that first one is a weight off my shoulders and it's great to get 90 minutes because I haven't had much game time in pre-season.

“It's good for me to gain a bit of fitness and get a goal so I'm happy with the day.

“It's a great bunch of boys, I felt that the second I came in. It's a great changing room.

“All the boys are going to stick together and the manager.

“It's not a case of people picking each other out, it's a case of everyone is in this together, and we're definitely going to pull through."
