4 things we learned from a frantic and enthralling EFL weekend

Blackburn relegated to League One after a tense final day

At the other end of the second tier, there was heartbreak for Blackburn Rovers, who were relegated to League One on goal difference despite a 3-1 away victory at Brentford.

Tony Mowbray’s men were two up with 16 minutes played at Griffin Park, with Charlie Mulgrew’s free-kick and Danny Guthrie’s strike giving them a dream start in West London.

Lasse Vibe pulled one back for Brentford after the interval, before Craig Conway smashed home a late penalty, but it was all in vain, following wins for Mark Warburton’s Nottingham Forest and Harry Redknapp’s Birmingham City on what was a tense afternoon.

The East Lancastrian club will compete in the third tier for the first time since 1980, 22 years after their Premier League winning-season.
