JORDAN Rhodes scored a last-gasp winner as Rovers snatched all three points against neighbours Bolton.
Rhodes pounced deep into injury-time as Doneil Henry diverted Tom Cairney's corner towards goal to send the Ewood Park faithful into raptures.
Man-of-the-match Jason Steele pulled off a number of spectacular saves to keep the Whites at bay in the second half but it was Gary Bowyer's men who finished the game strongest.
Rovers now move within 11 points of the play-offs with a trip to Charlton Athletic on Saturday.
