Dan Bentley revealed he felt obliged to apologise to "heartbroken" Bradley Dack after spoiling his fairytale return from injury by saving his crucial penalty.
The captain's research on the morning of the game paid off as he denied Dack from the spot earlier this month late on before Andi Weimann went up the other end in the final seconds to seal a huge away victory at Ewood Park.
It was a moment of redemption for Bentley and encapsulated his recent form after being forced to work his way back into the side when manager Nigel Pearson dropped him following the loss against Queens Park Rangers before Christmas.
