Blackburn Rovers are safe. Breathe out, it's ok that the weird knot in your stomach has disappeared.

They did it in the most dramatic way possible, winning away at Champions Leicester City when defeat would've sent them into League One. John Eustace's side held up their part of the bargain.

The performance at The King Power Stadium was impressive, the result far from fortunate, and Rovers players earned their night of celebrations on the day.

It was an emotional rollercoaster of a day, made more interesting by Leicester's own title celebrations. With plenty going on, there were a few moments that might have escaped your attention.

Here is a round-up of those titbits and the odd tale from behind the scenes of those post-match celebrations.

Crowd roar

There was a very poignant moment in the second half when Rovers were staring down the barrel. The pressure was cranked up a notch.

Birmingham City scored to nose ahead against Norwich and with Sheffield Wednesday and Plymouth Argyle both winning, a Leicester goal would've sent Rovers into the bottom three for the first time.

Instead of any groans or signs of dejection, there was a huge roar from the away end. That noise was a sign of unity and, dare I say it, togetherness.

Moments later, Szmodics scored and the rest is history.

Jamie Vardy taunt

It was just after that goal at St Andrew's that the Leicester City fans started to have some fun with their opponents on the final day. It was clear from the outset that nobody in light blue gave a monkey's what the result ended up.

But after Birmingham scored, the taunt came. 'When Vardy scores, you're going down', as a not-so-subtle nod to the scores elsewhere.

Fortunately for Rovers, it didn't work out that way. Szmodics scored and Vardy was substituted with around 15 minutes to go.

Eustace team huddle

As the full-time whistle blew, Rovers celebrations began. The club's video footage from the sidelines shows Eustace embracing each player and staff member as they make their way onto the pitch.

What was visible from the press box was Eustace gathering everyone together in a team huddle in the middle of the pitch. He was tight-lipped on exactly what was said but the general message was one of support, encouragement and a drive to do better next time.

It was an interesting moment, considering how easy it would have been to get lost in the emotions of the day and sprint off to the away end. That was all to come, of course!

Smashed champagne

Rovers' celebrations continued in the dressing room and on the team bus. Beers were flowing and the party began ahead of a trip back to Lancashire.

Amongst the celebrations, Leicester's players were quite happy to share the good feeling. Having lifted the title themselves, they were in the mood to share the good spirits.

In a classy gesture, Vardy brought over a bottle of champagne for Szmodics, only for the Rovers star to drop it and see it smash on the floor. 

Well, it wasn't meant for the mantle piece anyway. A very typical Szmodics moment to round off the season.
