Cherries leave Rovers red-faced

MARK HUGHES found out how tough club management can be as his Blackburn side were dumped out of the Carling Cup by Bournemouth last night.

League One Bournemouth stunned their Premiership hosts as they won 7-6 on penalties after forcing a 3-3 draw in extra-time.

Rovers began well with an early goal from Brett Emerton but the Cherries levelled through Garreth O’Connor, and Carl Broadhurst thought he had won it eight minutes from time.
