Blackburn Rovers 1 Fulham 1: Jimmy Bullard again came up trumps to help relegation candidates Fulham scrape a draw against Blackburn at Ewood Park.

Morten Gamst Pedersen had put Rovers ahead in the 59th minute with a header from a Jason Roberts cross.

But Fulham midfielder Bullard, who scored a 90th minute winner at Villa Park recently after his return from a career threatening injury, curled home a long-range shot into the top-left corner of the net to equalise in the 89th minute.

Roy Hodgson's side remain five points adrift of safety.
