Clint Dempsey ensured Fulham maintained their unbeaten start to the Barclays Premier League season after Blackburn had threatened to overwhelm Mark Hughes' side on his return to Ewood Park.
Chris Samba had given Sam Allardyce's Rovers the half-time lead in controversial circumstances while Fulham had barely had a sniff of goal.
The second half was a different story, however, as Hughes' men had much the better of the match and secured a scoreline that was on balance a fair result.
Blackburn were unchanged with 18-year-old Phil Jones, who played with distinction as the holding midfield player against Manchester City, impressing again in a different role to his usual position in central defence.
Scoring Summary:
Blackburn:
Christopher Samba 30'
Fulham:
Clint Dempsey 56'
