Blackburn Rovers boss Jon Dahl Tomasson admits it hurt to lose in the 91st minute against Sunderland, as his side suffered their fourth defeat in six Championship games. Sunderland came from behind to win at the Stadium of Light against third-placed Rovers, with Ross Stewart scoring from the penalty to spot to make amends for his earlier unfortunate own-goal before Ellis Simms came off the bench to hit the winner in injury-time and give head coach Tony Mowbray victory against his old club.
Former Newcastle United forward Tomasson felt there was a foul in the build-up to Simms' goal, which came when Sunderland put the ball into the box from a late free-kick, but says his team should still have defended the set-piece better. "We’re disappointed, every time we concede a goal or lose a game we're disappointed," said Tomasson.
"Of course we want to do better but we need to learn from those situations and conceding a goal that late in a game to lose, it hurts of course. It wasn't a brilliant game, we didn't play well.
