English FA Premiership: Blackburn 0 - Charlton 1Hermann Hreidarsson's brilliant diving header sent Blackburn tumbling to their fourth Premiership defeat at Ewood Park this season.
The Icelander swooped to meet Paolo di Canio's 33rd-minute corner and fire home his first Charlton goal as the visitors soared to seventh place in the table.
Dean Kiely's brilliant fingertip save to deny David Thompson in the 65th minute sealed Alan Curbishley's side's smash and grab success and heaped the pressure on Rovers boss Graeme Souness.
Speculation about Souness and the manager's job at Tottenham refuses to disperse, but the Scot will be wise to concentrate on his current position.
Rovers were booed off on a chilly night which suggested that - already eliminated from the UEFA Cup - their season is in danger of coming off the rails.
