BLACKBURN ROVERS 1-0 QPR
Blackburn's England goalkeeper Tim
Flowers was sent off as the champions
opened their title defence with a win.
Flowers received the red card for
racing out of his area and hauling down
Trevor Sinclair in the 73rd minute.
Alan Shearer hit the winner from a
sixth minute penalty after he had been
fouled by David Bardsley and Shearer,
Chris Sutton and Stuart Ripley all
missed chances to increase the lead.
Former Rovers midfielder Simon Barker
came closest for Rangers when he sent a
25-yard drive just wide.
