Four home victories build Rovers' 2001/02 run

Blackburn beat Oldham Athletic 2–0, Middlesbrough 2–1 and Manchester City 2–0 before defeating Arsenal 4–0 in the quarter-final of the 2001/02 League Cup. All four matches were at home. The run therefore had a strong Ewood Park foundation before the semi-final draw introduced an away leg.

Sheffield Wednesday were beaten 2–1 away and 4–2 at home, giving Rovers a 6–3 aggregate success. Those two scores describe one semi-final tie rather than two separate rounds. The campaign ended with a 2–1 final victory over Tottenham. Read in order, the results show a winning route through six opponents, with Wednesday appearing twice because of the format.

For supporters revisiting the Arsenal result, the 4–0 score belongs to the last eight. It was an emphatic step towards the trophy, but the final itself was a different game against Spurs and a much closer scoreline.

The Cardiff final and the Rovers side that played

The final was played at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff on 24 February 2002. Blackburn won 2–1, and the match sheet includes Brad Friedel, Damien Duff, David Dunn, Matt Jansen, Andy Cole, Mark Hughes and Henning Berg in the starting side.

That line-up is a useful companion to a highlights clip or a photograph from the day. It identifies the players involved without assuming that a famous Rovers name from another era took part. The venue also matters: this was a Cardiff final, so a search limited to Blackburn at Wembley can miss the occasion.

The 2002 team sheet and the full campaign record answer different supporter questions. One identifies who played in the decisive match; the other shows how Rovers reached it. Together they provide a fuller account than a bare trophy date, while the current fixture list above remains focused on the season shown in this page's heading.
