Blackburn 0-2 Wolves: Premier League strugglers score two goals in two minutes to breeze into FA Cup fifth round If this is to be John Eustace’s farewell at Blackburn Rovers then the goodbye tells its own story of the eventual divorce.
Playing in Eustace’s image – boldly direct, leaving three up at Wolves corners, scaring their Premier League visitors - Rovers should have been ahead by the time they imploded in one first-half minute that dramatically altered the direction of this tie.
Even allowing for some emotional ties – Eustace played for Derby and his family still live down in the Midlands – and even allowing for Derby’s ambitious plans, that this is even under consideration ought to be alarming.
Todd Cantwell lost cheap ball in the build-up and Vito Pereira’s side struck on a turnover, Gomes forced wide but taking a touch and instinctively nudging – pushing like a curler at the sheet – underneath Toth, who took the sting out without stopping its progress.
Matheus Cunha doubled Wolves' lead over Blackburn with a clinical finish at Ewood Park.
