New Blackburn boss Jon Dahl Tomasson praised his side for sticking to the game plan in their 3-0 victory at Swansea that took them to the top of the Sky Bet Championship table.

Goals from new signing Sam Szmodics in the first half and Ben Brereton Diaz and skipper Lewis Travis after the break backed up the opening-day win over QPR to give Rovers the perfect start to the season. “The performance was very high class tactically.

We worked on this game all week and the way the players controlled the game out of possession against a very good and dangerous team with the ball was very pleasing,” said Tomasson. “When Swansea attacked we were very solid and the players followed the plan like they should do.

Maybe they are more tired in the head than in the legs. “There were three beautiful goals and good transition moments. There was also another clean sheet. “I’m very pleased with the performance and for the fans.
