West Ham 4 - 1 Blackburn

Share Paul Ince suffered his first Premier League defeat as Blackburn manager against former club West Ham in a frantic finish at Upton Park.

Substitute Craig Bellamy and striker Carlton Cole both scored stoppage-time goals to shatter luckless Blackburn 4-1.

The Hammers were hanging on to a precarious 2-1 advantage thanks to goals from Calum Davenport and a Christopher Samba own goal early in the first half, with Jason Roberts replying in the 22nd minute.

But the late show gave the scoreline a convincing look.

Predictably, Ince's appearance at Upton Park produced more of the same verbal abuse he has become used to after a perceived disloyalty as a West Ham player nearly 20 years ago, when he left for Manchester United.

But it could not have hurt as much as the result.
