Blackburn Rovers boss Gary Bowyer has described his side's victory over Leeds United as their "best win of the season".

Rovers kept up their bid for Championship promotion on Saturday as they came from behind to earn a 2-1 triumph at Ewood Park.

Souleymane Doukara struck to give Leeds a first-half lead before two late goals from Jordan Rhodes sealed the points for the hosts.

"I think it was our best win of the season," Bowyer is quoted as saying by BBC Sport.

"I thought we were good first half, conceded a scruffy goal, hit the bar with Tom Cairney, but in the second half I thought we totally dominated the game. I can only remember Leeds hitting the post in the second half.

"The desire, belief, character, unity and commitment to each other was just unbelievable. And backed by magnificent support today it was reminiscent of the Premier League days."

Blackburn continue their Championship campaign next Saturday when they travel to promotion rivals Middlesbrough.
