Stoke secure 2-1 win over Blackburn with McGlynn free-kick
Jack McGlynn scored a decisive free-kick as Stoke City edged Blackburn Rovers 2-1 in their Championship clash on 3 November. Despite a late rally from Blackburn, Stoke held on to claim the victory at Ewood Park.
The result leaves Blackburn Rovers in 14th place in the Championship table with 18 points from 14 matches. Their recent form has been mixed, with two wins and three losses in their last five games, including a heavy 4-0 defeat away at Swansea City and a narrow 2-3 loss at West Bromwich Albion.
Blackburn Rovers, who have played at Ewood Park since 1890, will look to bounce back in their next fixture against West Ham United on 7 November. That match presents an opportunity to improve their standing in the competitive second tier of English football.
Stoke City's victory adds pressure on Blackburn, who have struggled for consistency this season. The home side's goal difference stands at minus two, reflecting their challenges in both attack and defence so far this campaign.
