Huddsf’ld 2 – 2 Blackburn
Ryan Hedges came off the bench to keep Blackburn firmly in the play-off hunt with a dramatic late equaliser in an enthralling 2-2 draw away at Huddersfield.
Neil Warnock’s Terriers – who had won each of their last three games – took the lead through Matty Pearson’s header and doubled it by way of a smart finish from Jack Rudoni five minutes later.

Joe Rankin-Costello pulled one back for Rovers with a delicious chip just over a minute into a second half in which they put their opponents under intense pressure, and when it looked as though they would fall to a damaging defeat, substitute Hedges popped up in stoppage time to secure a deserved point.
Blackburn stay sixth on 62 points with six games to play, ahead of the rest of Easter Monday’s action, with Huddersfield still in 19th, two points above the relegation zone with five games left.
