Balazs Toth made key first half stops to keep Blackburn in it, while Egil Selvik denied Yuki Ohashi late on as the game tightened after the restart.

After Rocco Vata went off injured (42.), Giorgi Chakvetadze added craft between the lines for the Hornets. Later substitute Nestory Irankunda threatened repeatedly but could not find the target in the closing stages.

Blackburn saw more of the ball with 55.7% possession. The Hornets produced 14 attempts and forced eight corners.

Next, Blackburn host Hull. The Hornets welcome Swansea City.
