Super Eagles striker, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, failed to increase his goal haul in the English Premier League as Bolton Wanderers defeated Blackburn Rovers by two goals to one.
The Nigerian international, who has 14 goals to his credit, highest by any player of Blackburn Rovers in the ongoing campaign, was not in his best form during the encounter.
On few occasions, the lanky Nigerian striker came close to scoring but missed the target.
Bolton paid tribute to Fabrice Muamba in the best way possible by claiming a victory over Blackburn that lifted them out of the Barclays Premier League’s bottom three.
Two first-half headers from centre-half, David Wheater, the first brace of his career, were enough to repel Blackburn’s rally after Steven Nzonzi had pulled one back after half-time.
