Blackburn captain Ryan Nelsen could hardly have picked a more perfect time to score his first Premier League goal as Rovers defeated Wigan 2-0.

After four years and 111 league games, Nelsen finally got on the scoresheet when he rose in the box on the hour to flick Benni McCarthy's right-wing free-kick past Chris Kirkland in the Latics goal.
