Brentford ended with a stutter at Griffin Park as Blackburn, who needed a win to have a chance of survival, claimed victory. Although results elsewhere saw them relegated.

A Charlie Mulgrew free kick put Rovers in front and above the drop zone with Nottingham Forest dropping into the relegation places.

Danny Guthrie then put Blackburn 2-0 up and they looked as if they may just pull off the great escape.

Birmingham took the lead to put all the pressure on Nottingham Forest.

However, Britt Assombalonga scored from the penalty spot to put Rovers back in the mire and when Chris Cohen and the Reds striker found the net again, it meant that Blackburn were taking the plunge.

Lasse Vibe pulled a goal back for Brentford but when Harlee Dean brought down Marvin Emnes in the penalty area to receive a second yellow card, Craig Conway scored to seal the win but results elsewhere condemned Blackburn to the drop.

Below are how Brentford's players rated against Blackburn.

Daniel Bentley – Will be unhappy at conceding three goals and ending his season on a sour note. 6

Josh Clarke – Like the rest of the defence it was an afternoon to forget. 5

Harlee Dean – His season ended early with a second yellow card but it has been a fine campaign for Dean and he set up Vibe's goal. 5

Yoann Barbet – A couple of mix ups for Blackburn's goals as the season ended on a low. 6

Tom Field – Had a difficult afternoon against Ryan Nyambe. 5

Nico Yennaris – A standard Nico Yennaris performance. 7

Romaine Sawyers – He was played too deep and his passing was not as precise as it has been in recent weeks. 6

Konstantin Kerschbaumer – Didn't have the impact on the game he'd have liked. 6

Jota – Not his greatest 90 minutes in a Brentford shirt. 6

Lasse Vibe – Scored a fine goal to put Brentford back in the game but was largely isolated. 6

Sergi Canos – His foul gave Blackburn the free kick for their opener. Showed lively spells at time. 6
