BLACKBURN Rovers midfielder David Dunn hailed the “grit and determination” of Sam Allardyce’s side after they came from behind to beat Arsenal 2-1 at Ewood Park.
Goalkeeper Lucasz Fabianski’s vulnerability in the air was exposed on a number of occasions before Rovers captain Chris Samba took advantage to head home a 69th-minute winner.
Robin van Persie’s first goal since October 31 had put the Gunners ahead early in the first half only for Dunn to equalise from close range.
Dunn said: “It’s great to get a win against one of the top four and I think it shows a little bit of grit and determination from us.”
