Blackburn caretaker boss Damien Johnson felt his side were unlucky to fall to a 2-0 defeat to Norwich at Carrow Road.

Blackburn held out in a dour game until Norwich scored in the 73rd minute and they have slipped back into the relegation zone on goal difference.

Jonnson told BBC Radio Lancashire: "Obviously I'm very disappointed with the result. Overall, for 70, 75 minutes or whatever it was, there wasn't a lot on it.

"I thought we were in the game and we had some opportunities, second-half opportunities, first-half, in terms of our crosses, territory and momentum. We obviously knew Norwich would have some moments as well.

"I think we were punished for just for two moments, a poor header and then just a slip, which can happen, so overall, disappointed.

"We nullified them for large parts. You can't think they had many clear-cut chances and I don't remember Balazs [Toth] making too many saves. So, of course, it's frustrating. But in football, you're playing against good sides and you can get punished as we were today."
