Sub McCarthy Sinks Boro
English Premier League Football Club News : Sub McCarthy sinks Boro
South Africa striker Benni McCarthy proved a ’super sub’ for Blackburn Rovers, English Premier League Football Club, with his header in the fourth minute of stoppage-time securing a 1-1 draw against Middlesbrough at Ewood Park here on Saturday 25 October 2008.
The forward’s first Premier League goal in open play for nearly a year saw Blackburn Rovers draw level after Brazilian striker Afonso Alves had given the visitors, thrashed 5-0 by leaders Chelsea last time out, a 74th-minute lead.
“I am delighted. It would have been a travesty if we had come out of the game with nothing,” Rovers manager Paul Ince told Setanta Sports.
“Benni is a goalscorer.”
