Blackburn Rovers overcome 10-man Leeds United

Blackburn Rovers overcome 10-man Leeds United with goals from Tom Cairney, Jordan Rhodes and Jay Spearing.

Blackburn Rovers have picked up a third successive away victory after they overcame 10-man Leeds United.

Rodolph Austin saw red in a goalless first half at Elland Road, after he was sent off for violent conduct in an off-the-ball incident.

The visitors took advantage of the man advantage as Tom Cairney broke the deadlock 15 minutes after the restart, with his left-footed volley beating Marco Silvestri in the Leeds net.

Jordan Rhodes then doubled the lead for Blackburn, as the striker was found unmarked in the middle of the box to head home to make it 2-0.

Jay Spearing rounded off the victory by adding Blackburn's third in the 80th minute.

The result sees Blackburn move up to ninth in the Championship, while Leeds stay in 14th.
