Decisive figure drives Blackburn Rovers with goal and assist at Portsmouth | OneFootball

Oladapo Afolayan equalised in the 11th minute and later laid on Blackburn Rovers' second, shaping Portsmouth 2-2 Blackburn Rovers.

He swept a right-footed finish into the bottom left from the left side after Harry Pickering's corner (11.). The timing steadied Rovers after an early setback and set the tone for his afternoon.

After the restart he turned provider, threading a pass for Ryoya Morishita to convert from the centre of the box (56.). Moments later he almost added another but shot narrowly wide from the middle (59.).

Afolayan finished with one goal and one assist, three attempts with two on target, and completed 10 of 11 passes. He also won four possessions, underlining his influence on and off the ball.

Operating off the left, his sharp movements inside and quick combinations opened lanes that Portsmouth struggled to close, with his link to Pickering on set pieces and calm decision-making in transition repeatedly tilting territory towards Blackburn.

Blackburn Rovers host Cardiff City next in the Championship. Portsmouth visit Southampton next.
