Blackburn Rovers ended their title-winning Premier League 2 Division 2 campaign in style as they beat West Bromwich Albion 4-1 at The Hawthorns.

Matthew Platt volleyed a 13th-minute opener for Rovers and then West Brom's Alex Bradley was sent off.

Jonathan Leko equalised for West Brom just past the hour mark before a late flurry of Blackburn goals.

Substitute Dan Butterworth restored their lead in the 84th minute and Joe Nuttall (pictured) and Lewis Mansell both struck in stoppage time to put a seal on the victory.

Rovers finished seven points clear of second-placed Aston Villa, while West Brom were 11 points adrift at the bottom.
