FA Cup: Wolves Brush Past Blackburn Rovers With 2-0 Victory
Emirates FA Cup: Wolverhampton Wanderers delivered a commanding performance to progress to the fifth round of the Emirates FA Cup, defeating Blackburn Rovers 2-0 at Ewood Park on Sunday. Two quick-fire goals just before halftime sealed the win, with Joao Gomes and Matheus Cunha both finding the net in under two minutes.
The visitors began the match brightly, with Cunha having the best chances in the opening stages. He forced Blackburn keeper Balazs Toth into two good saves within the first five minutes. However, it was Blackburn who started to assert themselves, with Augustus Kargbo firing just over the bar and Dominic Hyam having a goal ruled out for offside.
Blackburn almost capitalised from a Wolves corner with a quick break after Amario Cozier-Duberry broke quickly over the half way line, but Rodrigo Gomes was able to chase him back into the final third of the pitch before timing his tackle to perfection and winning back possession for his side.
