David Bentley hit a sweet volley to send Blackburn on their way to a 2-0 second leg UEFA Cup win over MyPa tonight. The midfielder smashed home the opener from a corss by Gamst-Pedersen , while Jason Roberts capped the night with a second from Matt Derbyshire’s knock down late on.
Mark Hughes rotated things bringing in Roberts and Rigters up front and Mokoena and Tugay in midfield. Interestingly he opted for a Nelson/Ooijer pairing in central defence which maybe hints that Samba’s place is now under threat or at least subject to rotation. Samba wasn’t even on the bench but there was no news of an injury on the night. McCarthy, Santa Cruz, Savage and Dunn should all return for the visit of City at the weekend however.
