In-form Blackburn held by Forest

Blackburn Rovers extended their unbeaten Championship run to eight games as they were held to a goalless draw by Nottingham Forest.

Rovers went closest in the first half when Ben Marshall's deflected shot came back off the bar.

Fode Koita headed another excellent chance straight at Forest keeper Dorus de Vries after the break.

Matt Mills was denied a Forest winner in stoppage time when his header was pushed on to the post by Jason Steele.
