Blackburn Rovers run out 3-1 winners against Sheffield Wednesday at Ewood Park in the Carling Cup second round.

Blackburn Rovers ran out 3-1 winners against Sheffield United in the Carling Cup second round at Ewood Park.

The hosts scored three goals in the opening seven minutes to effectively kill off any hope the visitors may have had.

Ruben Rochina opened the scoring on three minutes when he connected with Brett Emerton's cross.

The 19-year-old bagged his second soon after with a smart finish from a tight angle.

Summer signing David Goodwillie opened his account for the club three minutes later when he hit a low shot past visiting keeper Richard O'Donnell.

Clinton Morrisson pulled one back for the Owls on 50 minutes, but his side were unable to mount a comeback.
