Blackburn Rovers was knocked out of the FA Cup after losing against Liverpool in the 2nd leg which was played on April 8 at Ewood Park and a solo goal from Coutinho was enough for Liverpool to knockout the Championship League club.
Defeating Liverpool was one of the accomplishments that the 24 year old centre-back of Blackburn Rovers, Corry Evans was hoping to make but it did not happen as Liverpool won by the minimum margin with a scoreboard of 1-0.
Corry Evans still has another goal in mind that he wants to reach with Blackburn Rovers and it’s to earn a promotion spot back to the Premier League but this is also far-fetched as his club is positioned way too far away from the playoff positions and taking into consideration that the league has less 5 matches to be played, Blackburn Rovers mathematically cannot reach a promotion spot to the Premier League.
‘’We’re wanting to get promotion, be it automatic or through the play-offs; that’s our goal,’ Evans told rovers.co.ukIt’s really everyone’s goal in this division because anyone can beat anyone. But I think the experience we had as a team last year gelled us well. We know our style and we know the way we want to play. Hopefully we can put that into good practice this year.’’ Corry Evans of Blackburn Rovers said as he announced the goals that he and his team have for this season. Read more »
Hull City manager Steve Bruce was not happy with the way referee Chris Foy did not send off Gary Cahill for his second yellow card. Chelsea took on Hull at Stamford Bridge and they managed to win the game comfortably 2-0.
The task of three points for the West Londoners was made a little easy in the second half after the referee sent off Hull’s Tom Huddlestone with a second yellow card. His two rash challenges meant that Hull were not able to put up much of a fight in the closing moments of the game. Bruce reckons that Chelsea should have also been reduced to 10 men.
Bruce has recalled the incident in the second half when Cahill appeared to simulate a challenge in order to earn a penalty. Neither a penalty nor a booking was given and this turned out to be a crucial moment in the match. Read more »
