Blackburn Rovers boss Steve Kean praises the club's youngsters after today's win over Manchester United.

Blackburn Rovers manager Steve Kean has heaped praise upon the club's youngsters following today's 3-2 win over Manchester United.

One of the Blackburn's graduates, 20-year-old Grant Hanley, actually headed the winning goal late in the game to claim the three points for his side.

"We'll go a long way to beat that today. We built on last week's draw at Anfield," Kean told ESPN. "The young lads are growing up very quickly and did really well. It shows the fighting spirit that we've got and we had to have that today.

"It was a physical game but this result is massive. However, it's no good if we don't build on that against Stoke next. It's great to win, and great to win here."

Rovers are now 18th in the Premier League table.
