Blackburn Rovers defender Martin Olsson believes that his team has turned a corner and they can compete with any team in the Premier League.

Rovers followed up their dramatic 2-2 draw against Blackpool two weeks ago with a 0-0 draw at the Emirates against Arsenal and Olsson feels that his team is finally receiving the rewards for all the hard work he and his team mates have put in on the training ground.

“I think it is such a long time that we’ve been playing good football but things haven’t been going our way, it has finally come good, and no penalty against us as well, it feels good,” he told the club’s official website.

“It shows the commitment of the team that even though we were one man down we wanted that point and it all worked out.

“It feels good to get the point, the Emirates is a hard place to come to with the way they play, but we have proved we can stand up to them and to any team.

Despite the two positive results against Blackpool and Arsenal, Rovers still find themselves just two points away from the relegation zone but Olsson believes that confidence is high enough to stay in the Premier League.

He added: “The spirit in the dressing room right now is high and we now have to take that into the game against Birmingham.”

“Steve Kean has always been positive in training, even if things haven’t gone our way.

“We can take this result against Arsenal into Birmingham and other games and there’ll be no problem.”
