Lewis Mansell condemned Fulham to their second defeat of the week as Blackburn Rovers won 1-0 at Motspur Park to remain top.

Fulham had earlier come close through Michael Elstone, while Rovers goalkeeper Andrew Fisher saved well from Aron Davies.

Blackburn have 31 points, one place and a point above Aston Villa, while defeat leaves Fulham fifth on 26 points.
