Blackburn Rovers enjoyed a near-perfect afternoon at Ewood Park as they beat Millwall 2-0.

In the latest episode of Arte et Labore, Elliott Jackson and Ryan Hildred revisit Saturday's win as the Academy took centre stage with Matty Litherland starring on his Rovers debut. Tom Atcheson and Nathan Dlamini also made their first appearances in the Championship.

Valerien Ismael's bold calls paid off and three points at home was the perfect tonic before Christmas. A win, clean sheet and selection decisions paying off.

Rovers travel to Middlesbrough on Boxing Day, a tough assignment but their record on Teesside is excellent. That's followed up by a quick turnaround to face Sheffield Wednesday. What would be a positive return?
