Vipotnik brace fires Swansea past Blackburn and lifts them up the table | OneFootball

Match in Five Sentences: Swansea City beat Blackburn Rovers 3-1 in the Championship. Zan Vipotnik opened the scoring in the 21st minute. Mathias Jorgensen equalised (35.), but Connor O'Riordan's own goal restored the hosts' lead and proved the turning point (50.). Vipotnik then added a second with a header from Josh Tymon's delivery (63.). The win lifts Swansea from 16th to 15th ahead of a trip to Hull, while Blackburn drop from 20th to 21st and host Watford next.

Player of the Match: Vipotnik decided the contest with a brace from three shots, including the clincher after the break, and led the line with five aerial wins.

Stat of the Match: Moussa Baradji won seven tackles, yet Blackburn created only five attempts, underlining how little danger that ball-winning translated into.

Three Things We Learned: Josh Tymon created three key passes and supplied the assist for the third goal. Blackburn's crossing misfired at 7.1% accuracy from 14 deliveries, blunting their wide threat. Vipotnik is now on 13 league goals, leading the Championship scoring chart.
