Zan Vipotnik at the double as Swansea City see off Blackburn Rovers

Zan Vipotnik's double took him to the top of Championship goal-scoring charts - and handed Swansea City a deserved 3-1 win over Blackburn Rovers at the Swansea.com Stadium.

Vipotnik was the man to find the net on that occasion, and on 21 minutes here, the exact time
