Blackburn guaranteed their Sky Bet Championship survival thanks to Japanese pair Yuki Ohashi and Ryoya Morishita in a 3-1 win at Sheffield United.
Rovers needed victory to seal safety in their penultimate game of the season and Ohashi struck twice either side of Morishita's effort as Blackburn stormed into a 3-0 half-time lead.
Blades boss Chris Wilder responded to his side's abject first-half display by making four substitutions during the interval and Harrison Burrows pulled one back early in the second half.
But although Rovers came under sustained pressure, their defence held firm to lift them eight points clear of the drop zone with their relegation rivals having two games to play.

Tom Cannon went close to marking his return to the Blades' starting line-up with a goal inside 30 seconds when he fired wide after running on to Gus Hamer's through-ball.
Blackburn also threatened early on as Taylor Gardner-Hickman's deep cross was palmed away by Adam Davies, but the Blades goalkeeper was beaten in the 12th minute.
Morishita's precision pass sent Japan team-mate Ohashi scampering clear on goal and he rounded Davies to side-foot home his ninth league goal of the season.
