BLACKBURN Rovers put in their best performance of the season to earn an FA Cup quarter-final replay against Liverpool at Ewood Park.

The in-form Premier League side couldn't find a way past an inspired Rovers back line and Gary Bowyer's men held on for a memorable goalless draw.

Raheem Sterling, Jordan Henderson and Daniel Sturridge all came close for Brendan Rodgers' men but Simon Eastwood stood firm to keep the scores level.

Lancashire Telegraph:

Defender Alex Baptiste had Rovers' best chance but his header from a Craig Conway corner was brilliantly saved by Simon Mignolet early in the second half.
