Gary Bowyer hails Blackburn Rovers character in Swansea City scalp

Blackburn Rovers boss Gary Bowyer praises his side after seeing them fight back to beat Premier League Swansea in the FA Cup fourth round.

Blackburn Rovers boss Gary Bowyer has hailed the character of his team following their victory over Swansea City in the FA Cup fourth round.

Rovers booked their place in the last 16 on Saturday as they downed nine-man Swansea 3-1 at Ewood Park.

The Championship side went behind midway through the first half, but they fought back to progress.

"The lads have stuck together and I thought that really shone through today," Bowyer told Radio Rovers. "We had to be patient, but fair play to the lads they learnt that today, they stuck at it and were terrific.

"Our organisation, our shape, and the way we pressed at times was great. We are delighted for everybody, hopefully now we can get another Premier League team in the draw and enjoy a cup run."

Blackburn are back in action on Tuesday when they make the trip to Derby County in the Championship.
