Blackburn Rovers winger Morten Gamst Pedersen has admitted they have a fight on their hands to retain their Premier League status.

Rovers were humiliated at Arsenal last weekend, going down 7-1.

Pedersen has called on his teammates to respond positively to that setback.

He told Sky Sports: "It's no secret we are struggling in the league.

"But we have to keep the focus in the right place or this is going to be difficult.

"We all feel exactly the same about the Arsenal game. We went through it on the training ground and we are not happy.

"Now it is much better to start the focus on the QPR game this weekend."
