Blackburn’s young side came from behind to avoid a Carabao Cup second-round upset with a 2-1 win at League Two side Bradford.
Jon Dahl Tomasson made 10 changes for the Championship outfit with only Tayo Edun remaining from the starting line-up beaten 3-0 at Sheffield United at the weekend.
But they made a fast start as Joe Rankin-Costello’s header was tipped away by home keeper Harry Lewis. Adam Wharton then drilled a low cross into the six-yard box which was nearly finished by Tyrhys Dolan.
Bradford, managed by former Blackburn player and boss Mark Hughes, went ahead against the run of play after 18 minutes as Andy Cook converted Scott Banks’ cross for his sixth goal of the season.
