Blackburn Rovers 4-0 Hartlepool United: Championship side cruise into Carabao Cup second round

Blackburn Rovers easily saw off League Two Hartlepool United to reach the second round of the Carabao Cup.

Scott Wharton, Bradley Dack, Tyrhys Dolan and Dilan Markanday scored in a one-sided game at Ewood Park.

Wharton put the Championship team ahead by heading in Tyler Morton's corner shortly after the half-hour mark.

And two goals in the space of five minutes early in the second half crushed the underdogs' hopes of a comeback.

The fit-again Dack, making his first appearance of the season, slid in to apply the finish to Tayo Edun's cross, and Dolan fired into the bottom corner to make it three.

Dack then set up Markanday, who slotted home left-footed for his first career goal.

Wharton's younger brother Adam, 18, made his first-team debut for Rovers - making them the first siblings to play together for the club since Swedish duo Martin and Marcus Olsson.

Adam Wharton's inclusion was one of 10 changes made by boss Jon Dahl Tomasson to the starting line-up. Pools, meanwhile, made seven changes.

    Where are the BBC getting their headline writers from? I expected the score to be 9-0 based on this one.

    Good to see the youngsters getting a run out, and performing well too. All that was missing was a goal for Vale.

    If Blackburn “crushed” Hartlepool surely Exeter “destroyed” Cheltenham the night before?
    Your over-excited, over-descriptive language is an abomination to journalism. Who moderates you?

    What a splendid game of football. The sides were an advert for this competition and proved that football is a game of too halves, and if you take your chances you shall win.

    I think Raj SIngh will be sacking another Pools manager this season.

      Singh needs to have a long hard look at himself. In his own words the club is in a significantly better financial position than it has been for years. Why then is the latest manager being restricted to signing only players unproven at EFL level ie youngsters, non-league players and Scottish imports?

    well beaten but its not a crushing

  • Comment posted by Cake, at 22:27 10 Aug 2022

    Whoa, whoa, whoa! Crush!? What’s happened to “thrash”? The Beeb love a good thrashing or is that word reserved for EPL games?

    Well done Blackburn, a great win and well deserved

  • Comment posted by Robert E7, at 22:57 10 Aug 2022

    Surely 4 - 0 is a 'spanking', not a 'crush'? Something more like 8 - 0 would be a 'crush'?

    Up the Rovers!

    Wouldn't say they crushed Hartlepool given there's 2 leagues difference and Blackburn are a premier league winning side playing at home.

    4-0 is a score you see often between teams in the same league, sometimes between two massive clubs. The headline makes out it was a massacre. Crushed, really?

      Consistently over 70% possession and no shot at goal for 75 minutes seems pretty comprehensive to me.

    Crushed ? Harsh rhetoric to be honest and unfair on Hartlepool . Having said that this young team with an average age of 21 , representing The Famous Blue and White Halves , did all that was asked of them .

    Up the Rovers

    Another thumping for Paul Hartley's duds. Tumilty et al just ain't up to it.

    A big win??? It wasn't 7-0 away from home like Exeter City was and there was a difference in league's championship vs LG 2 at home
