Last updated : 03 May 2006 By Wales Reporter
Former Wales boss Mark Hughes has guaranteed Blackburn a top 6 finish in the Premiership.

His side beat Chelsea at Ewood Park last night to reach 60 points, 5 above Newcastle in 7th with just one game to play.

Blackburn's goal came just before half time when a Robbie Savage free kick got the slightest of touches from Steven Reid to beat Carlo Cudicini in the Chelsea goal. It was only the 4th defeat of the season for the Champions.
