FULHAM boss Lawrie Sanchez admitted he aspired to see his side emulate Blackburn Rovers.

The sides shared a point at Craven Cottage yesterday and Sanchez said: "Blackburn are an excellent side.

"One day I would like to be in the same situation as them."

However, Sanchez was disappointed to have twice conceded the lead.

"I'm frustrated. To take the lead twice and still be in front late on in the match, you hope you will win.

"We didn't help ourselves with our defending but we also had abysmal decisions go against us.

"They scored a goal that was clearly offside and we had two appeals for handballs in their area turned down."
