Famous win delights Dann

Blackburn defender Scott Dann hailed his team-mates and manager after their shock 1-0 win at Arsenal secured their place in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

The Gunners dominated possession and had a host of chances but couldn't find the back of the net, and were left to rue those missed opportunities when Colin Kazim-Richards struck in the 72nd minute. Despite bringing on Theo Walcott, Jack Wilshere and Santi Cazorla in a triple change, they were unable to find a way past Jake Kean in the Rovers goal.

The result leaves Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger with much to think about ahead of their Champions League clash with Bayern Munich next week, while Rovers' confidence has received a huge boost as they bid for promotion back to the Premier League. They are 10.00 to go up from the Championship, while Millwall, also successfully through to the last eight, are 29.00.

"It's obviously a great achievement to get the win, get through to the next round and also get the clean sheet," Dann told the BBC.

"We were on a high from the previous results we've had in the league. But we knew it would be a tough a task coming here. We knew we had to dig in and cut down the space we gave them. We did that very well."

He added: "It's been up and down in the last two years but under the new manager [Michael Appleton] things have started to change. We are not far away from the play-off spots now."
