Blackburn scored two late goals to ease their relegation worries with a 2-1 victory over Tottenham at Ewood Park.
Robbie Keane opened the scoring for Spurs in the 30th minute after a controversial decision by referee Peter Walton, who pointed to the spot after Aaron Lennon's cross hit the arm of defender Gael Givet.
Harry Redknapp's men controlled the match for long periods but were unable to grab a second goal and were then reduced to 10 men on 80 minutes when Wilson Palacios was sent off for a second bookable offence.
Blackburn, who had rarely threatened, capitalised on their numerical advantage almost immediately as Benni McCarthy turned home a sliced pass from makeshift frontman Christopher Samba.
Spurs then failed to defend a corner two minutes from time and their six-match unbeaten run came to an end as Andre Ooijer poked the ball home from close range.
