Austrian forward Andreas Weimann scored twice as Blackburn Rovers claimed a deserved 3-1 victory at Cardiff City Stadium.The striker doubled his tally after the interval by again tapping home unmarked as Blackburn ended a run of three successive away defeats.
The striker's double competed a bad week for Cardiff City who have now suffered back-to-back defeats after their recent revival under interim boss Omer Riza. Rovers’ away-day struggles were certainly not in evidence as they took the lead in eye-catching style as an excellent, sustained period of possession saw them sweep the ball from defence to attack, culminating in Lewis Travis crossing for Weimann to tap home.
The Bluebirds did start the second half on the front-foot with David Turnball and sub Yakou Meite both seeing long-range efforts saved by Cardiff goalkeeper Jak Alnwick, but they soon fell 2-0 behind. Turnball saw his initial penalty saved by Pears, who was helpless to prevent Turnball from slamming home the rebound as the rebound fell kindly.
