Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers midfielder says his side didn’t deserve to lose

Blackburn Rovers were knocked out of the EFL Cup last night after a Chris Wood goal gave Leeds United a 1-0 victory at Elland Road, but Blackburn’s Elliot Bennett has said that he felt his team deserved more from the game.

Wood’s goal in the 84th minute saw Leeds go through to the fourth round of the competition instead of Rovers, and Bennett says it was a tough one to take.

“I don’t think there was much in the game at all, we had a few chances, they had a few chances,” said Bennett.
“Neither team created anything that you would call clear cut scoring opportunities, so I thought we were destined for Extra Time until we got caught with a sucker punch.”
Bennett was also full of praise for goalkeeper David Raya, and he said that the goal was extremely unfair on him given how he’d performed throughout the game.
Despite the nine changes that Rovers boss Owen Coyle made last night, Bennett says there’s no excuse for defeat.
“I don’t like making excuses, we all train together every single day, everybody knows each other,” said the former Norwich City man.
“It isn’t like the gaffer has got a load of strangers off the streets and said go and have a game. We all know each other, and we all know what to expect from each other when we get out on that pitch.”
