Pedersen in Blackburn plea

NORWAY winger Morten Gamst Pedersen has urged Blackburn manager Mark Hughes to give him a chance in the first team at Ewood Park.

Pedersen, who scored one goal and set up the other during Norway’s 2-2 draw with Australia on Tuesday, has struggled to even make the bench for Rovers since Hughes took over from Graeme Souness in September.

But the 23-year-old midfielder insists he will defy the critics and become a success at the club.
