Team:
1. Conor Devlin 2. Michele Fornasier 3. Zeki Fryers 4. Tom Thorpe 5. Scott Wootton (c) 6. Etzaz Hussain 7. Larnell Cole 8. Ryan Tunnicliffe (12. Paul Pogba 46) 9. Joshua King 10. Nicky Ajose (14. Will Keane) 11. Robbie Brady (15. Jesse Lingard) Not used: 13 Sam Johnstone, 16 Reece Brown Joshua King with the first goal, received a long ball from Brady wide on the left, left one defender for dead with a deft change of direction and sheer pace and then beat the keeper from a really tight angle, about 7-8 yards out. Second goal was a Brady penalty, won by the Irishman himself. Bit soft, looked like the right-back got a touch on the ball but no matter. Keeper dived to his right, Brady put in the other corner. 2-0 half-time, and Pogba on for the injured Tunnicliffe for the second half. Rovers hit the post immediately after the break through Banton, who ran straight through the heart of the defence. Evans slashed the rebound over. Banton looked a real threat. United's third goal comes after terrific work from King, who bustles and barges and scraps his way from wide on the left to the right hand side of the box. Balls breaks loose and the unmarked Larnell Cole slots home from around the penalty spot. Fourth goal is a bit comical - vicious striker from Pogba from distance, keeper does well to parry it but it loops up in the air, he loses track of it and it spins back over the line. Lingard on for Brady. Fifth went to Hussain - King chased a lost cause down the left, kept it in, fed Lingard racing into the box and Hussain toe-poked in the sub's pull-back. Will Keane on for Ajose. Blackburn pull one back from the spot, terrible decision as Devlin clearly wins the ball when challenging Potts. Evens things up a bit I guess. Potts picks himself up and sends Devlin the wrong way. Keane is foiled almost immediately by a good save from the keeper, but he does get a goal and caps the scoring. More good play from King, who looked unplayable at times, he gets taken out, ref plays a good advantage and Hussain drills across a low centre that Keane taps home. |

Petrucci was watching from the sideline, no explanation why he wasn't involved.
Tunnicliffe was on crutches after his first-half injury, hopefully not too serious. Everton away next week, now our closest challengers in the league. |

They could have had double figures from the chances created. Great to have Brady and Thorpe back in the side, Hussain looked to be involved in most of the best moves, and King too good for this level.

Pogba seemed to have a major influence on the game (although I only saw the highlights)
He played an absolute peach of a "no look" pass at one point. Not sure which of those YouTube clips it's in but worth looking out for. Ronaldinho would have been proud of if. |

Could have easily finished 10-4 judging from the highlights!!
