Loan Watch: Vital three points for Gallagher
Show/hide article…
The 21-year-old Saints youngster came off in the closing seconds of the game once victory had already been secured thanks to Danny Graham’s second-half strike.
The 1-0 win at Ewood Park sees Rovers remain in the drop zone on goal difference, but they will maintain their Championship status should they better Nottingham Forest’s final-day result.
Gallagher and his teammates face a trip to Brentford to end the season, whilst Nottingham Forest host Ipswich.
Elsewhere, Jason McCarthy and Walsall suffered defeat at home to Milton Keynes Dons on the final day of the League One season.
McCarthy, who was recently named the Saddlers’ Player of the Season, played 90 minutes as they fell to a 4-1 defeat to finish 14th in the table.

Southampton FC news: Claude Puel to be axed as manager this summer?
Show/hide article…
Southampton may look to replace manager Claude Puel this summer, according to reports in his native France.
The 55-year-old was appointed in June when he signed a three-year deal at St Mary’s following the departure of Ronald Koeman.
However, it has been an underwhelming season for the Saints, who are ninth in the table but only nine points clear of the relegation zone.
And now French newspaper L’Equipe has claimed that the south coast club are already considering a change following the weekend’s goalless draw at home to fourth-bottom Hull.
Puel, who arrived after a successful spell at Nice, is Southampton’s third manager in three years after both Mauricio Pochettino and Koeman left the club ahead of time.

Ref Watch: Man Utd should not have been given a penalty against Swansea, says Dermot Gallagher

Ref Watch: Man Utd should not have been given a penalty against Swansea, says Dermot Gallagher
Following another round of football fixtures, Ref Watch returns to debate a number of the weekend’s controversial talking points.
Former top-flight official Dermot Gallagher has been in the Sky Sports News HQ studio to give his view on a number of incidents from the latest round of games.
Hotly disputed penalties, abandoned games and objects thrown from the crowd all feature in this week’s edition…
INCIDENT: Marcus Rashford is caught by the onrushing Lukasz Fabianski’s arm
SCENARIO: The England international’s run into the area is ended after contact with the Swans 'keeper, with referee Neil Swarbrick awarding a spot-kick after some deliberation
DERMOT SAYS: I definitely do not think this was a penalty and I cannot understand why the referee gave it.
The reason I say that is if a referee does not see something, I can live with that, it is human nature. What I cannot live with is a referee seeing something that did not happen. And if you see the referee’s view, he has gone to the wrong position for whatever reason, he is blocked off by a number of players and he cannot see this decision.
He takes his time to look at his assistant, which is a little bit unfair as I do not think he can see it, and I think in the end he has just gambled and he has gambled wrongly.
SCENARIO: As the Spurs striker drives into the box, the centre-back appears to foul his man with a mistimed tackle, with referee Michael Oliver giving a penalty
DERMOT SAYS: I think it is a penalty as he fouls Kane, who moves the ball away and Gabriel comes in and takes him out.
Gabriel has initiated the contact. And this (decision) capped a first-class refereeing display because this game was handled absolutely superbly by Michael Oliver, who got everything right, the big decisions and that (decision) underpinned how good he was on the day.
SCENARIO: The Chile international raises his hands to block the Spurs forward’s pull-back from the byline, but referee Michael Oliver waves play on
DERMOT SAYS: I think this is handball because the player has his arms that high and above his head, whether he gets struck by the ball or a not. What is interesting is he is convinced it has struck him in the face, which it did not, then it is his chest…. But it hit his arm.
However, I can understand why the referee did not give it as the referee is behind and his body is shielded by Sanchez and my first reaction was it is the assistant’s call.
But when you actually look where the assistant is, he is parallel on, he sees the arms up and I do not think he is convinced whether it has hit his arms, face or his chest. And there is a lot of doubt in Sanchez’s mind isn’t there, and it actually hit him?
INCIDENT: Leroy Sane is tripped in the box by Marten De Roon
SCENARIO: The City winger goes over under a challenge from the Dutchman, with referee Kevin Friend pointing to the spot
DERMOT SAYS: I do not think it is a penalty. I know a lot of people do, but I think Sane has made the contact himself, he has already lost the ball, he sees a leg and uses it to go into himself.
He [Sane] initiates the contact rather than the other way round and he has quite clearly not been fouled. In Kevin’s defence, he will say he was immediately sure and that De Roon had made the foul.
INCIDENT: Nicolas Otamendi pulls back Adama Traore when through on goal
SCENARIO: The Boro winger, who is ahead of his man, is dragged back by the visitors’ central defender before falling to the ground, with referee Kevin Friend only booking the Argentine
DERMOT SAYS: The issue is that [Vincent] Kompany is the covering player, he [Traore] is never going to get past him, or Kompany will have the opportunity to tackle him. It is an opportunity, just not an obvious goalscoring opportunity, so it is a foul and yellow card. But a yellow card at best and definitely not a red card.
INCIDENT: James Tarkowski is hit by an object thrown from the crowd
SCENARIO: As the Clarets celebrated their opening goal, the defender was struck on the head by a lighter
DERMOT SAYS: The referee’s first priority is the safety of the players on the day, so he would go to the safety steward and the match commander, who has match control as ever, have that area ring-fenced off.
If they can find the culprit, then remove him, and if they can’t then do everything to ensure there is not a repeat. And the next stage is to report that to The Football Association and they will obviously investigate that on Tuesday.
INCIDENT: The League Two club’s final home game of the season is completed behind closed doors
SCENARIO: After an initial announcement that the match had been abandoned, the EFL decided that they would conclude the game from the 85th minute a couple of hours after home fans had been cleared from the pitch at the Matchroom Stadium
DERMOT SAYS: I cannot imagine waiting two hours to play eight minutes, but what I would say is it says a lot about the players, the referee and everybody involved that you have to keep your concentration, refocus and also the players and referee have to warm up again.
Two hours is a long, long time to be off, so when they came back for eight minutes, I would suggest that they come back half an hour earlier, got ready again to prepare because you cannot just sit for two hours and come back and play for eight minutes, it is not possible.

Steve McClaren’s weekend grades: Chelsea, Spurs and Burnley impress
Show/hide article…
Who impressed over the weekend in the Premier League and who disappointed? Former England manager Steve McClaren gives his grades.
There were wins for Chelsea and Tottenham while Manchester United and Manchester City were held and Sunderland were relegated after defeat to Bournemouth.
So did your team get an A+, an F, or something in between? Premier League Daily guest McClaren takes us through his weekend grades…
A great win for Chelsea at Everton. It was probably the last big hurdle before they go on to win the title. Antonio Conte has really turned things around this season and they are hard to beat and have players who can score goals.
Excellent from Spurs. They continued their fantastic form and kept the title race alive. They have carried on from last season and continue to impress. Like Chelsea, they have the right balance in the team.
Sean Dyche has done a great job this season and to get their first away win of the season at Palace is a really big result that should be enough to keep them in the Premier League. The pressure has been on them after their recent form.
They haven’t got many away points this season but their draw at Southampton was well deserved and the goalkeeper takes great credit for the penalty save at the end.
Another excellent season for the Cherries. They look as though they will comfortably survive in the end and picked up a good away win.
It was a smash-and-grab win for the Foxes with Jamie Vardy scoring again. They are now comfortably out of danger which is impressive given their situation a few months ago.
A good point at Old Trafford and it could have been even better. They will be buoyed by this performance and their display against Stoke in their last game as they look to avoid relegation.
It was a very good performance from Boro but they failed to get over the line and they have it all on now to stay in the Premier League. They needed to win this one to really give themselves a better chance of survival.
The 0-0 scoreline says it all. Two teams who are scrapping for every point in mid-table and there wasn’t much in it. West Ham haven’t built from last season and they have lost their momentum, partly due to the new stadium.
Mark Hughes has done a good job at Stoke, quietly going on and doing their job, not really getting near the relegation zone, and they have picked up some good results.
They have been a little disappointing at home and haven’t scored enough goals. The crowd made that known on Saturday. It wasn’t a great result for Saints.
Disappointment for Sunderland as they were relegated. It’s been a long wait and it has finally happened. The mood was not good at the ground. Now Sunderland’s future depends on the owner’s ambitions and how they will back their manager. But who will the manager be and will he be given the resources to change what needs to be changed?
Tony Pulis has done a great job but their form has faded and they will be bitterly disappointed with defeat at home.
Palace beat the big teams and get themselves in a good position to pull away from the bottom three, so this will be so disappointing. They have to travel to Manchester United and Manchester City in two of their last three games.
They will very disappointed not to beat Swansea with some tricky fixtures left to play. It’s one they would have really expected to win, and it could have been significant with Man City and Arsenal dropping points.
They would have expected to win this game. They did show character to come back twice but they could have strengthened their top-four place with a win.
Everton were in the game for most of it against Chelsea but they will be disappointed with the final result.
They were overpowered, outplayed and they did not put in their best performance in a derby game.
