Jean Tigana close to winning the Division One Championship at his first attempt

Jean Tigana was delighted to be within touching distance of the First Division championship after Fulham's win over Blackburn at Ewood Park.

The Cottagers stunned the second placed side with a last minute winner from Sean Davis, despite falling behind to an early Matt Jansen goal and then having Rufus Brevett sent off late in the first half.

Afterwards Tigana told Sky Sports: "I'm very happy. We worked very hard, it was difficult for the players to come back and win the game, but they had big motivation.

"I want to win the championship but the priority is to win promotion first. We have a good record in the big games."

Fulham defender Kit Symons was proud of the way the Cottagers had defended despite being a man short for the whole of the second half. The Welsh international said: "Obviously we were under a lot of pressure but we soaked it up very well. "We got bodies behind the ball, dug in and passed the ball very well. We worked very hard but then there is a great work ethic at the club. "They had an awful lot of the ball but I think we soaked it up very well."
