Blackburn Rovers secured their first victory since the departure of manager Jon Dahl Tomasson earning a crucial win under new boss John Eustace against Stoke City. The hosts scored three goals within the first 37 minutes with Tyrhys Dolan and Sammie Szmodics among the scorers.
Stoke’s Niall Ennis got a goal but missed penalties and defensive struggles led to a 3-1 defeat. Blackburn’s defensive solidity in the face of Stoke’s efforts ensured a positive start for Eustace. The result leaves Stoke in a precarious position near the relegation zone.
Eustace’s next challenge is against Birmingham City while Stoke faces QPR in their upcoming fixture. Blackburn’s first team coach Damien Johnson praised the players for their outstanding performance emphasizing the importance of securing three points.
Stoke boss Steven Schumacher criticized his team’s poor start but acknowledged improvements after conceding the third goal. He called for more character, belief and fight from his players.
