Blackburn tames Tigers to get off the mark
Blackburn Rovers registered its first three points of the season as its beat Hull City 3-0 in an emphatic display away from home.
Rovers made short work of the Tigers at MKM Stadium as goals from Ryan Hedges, Yuki Ohashi, and Todd Cantwell went unanswered, securing a maiden win of the campaign on the back of defeats to West Bromwich Albion and Birmingham City.
Hedges opened the scoring in the 18th minute, cheekily dinking the ball over Hull’s Ivor Pandur.
After the restart, a brilliantly worked free-kick routine saw Ohashi double Blackburn’s advantage, before moments later, a rebound fell kindly to Cantwell, who lashed it home from close range to put John Eustace’s men out of sight.
