Blackburn v Ipswich to be replayed in full after washout

Blackburn Rovers' Championship fixture against Ipswich Town is to be replayed in full following its abandonment on Saturday.

The fixture was called off in the 79th minute due to heavy rainfall at Ewood Park, with Blackburn leading 1-0 courtesy of Todd Cantwell's second-half penalty.

Ipswich were playing with 10 men after Jacob Greaves was sent off.

In a statement, the EFL said a board meeting comprehensively considered all options available in accordance with the regulations and that it was decided "by a majority" that the game should be replayed in full.

"The decision follows recent precedents relating to abandoned fixtures and is intended to uphold the integrity of the league competition which should, wherever possible, be based on a complete set of fixtures played to a conclusion on the day," the statement said.
