"Blackburn Rovers" club spent 11 years in the English Premier League, but next season they will only compete in the country's second division. This was revealed after a late Monday match, in which Steve Kean's team lost 0-1 to "Wigan" and lost hopes of climbing out of the second-to-last position in the 19-team table. Blackburn is now five points away from the safe 17th position, with only one round left until the end of the season. The only goal was scored in the 87th minute by Antolinas Alcaraz, who also secured the survival of "Wigan" on the brink of relegation from the Premier League. The victory of the hosts was not inspired by the symbolism of a chicken thrown onto the field, used as a tool of protest against the club's owners' policies.
