Blackburn Rovers lead Barnsley 4-1 at half time in this afternoon's Championship clash at Ewood Park.

The away side took the lead in the 13th minute with a goal from Chris Dagnall.

Barnsley were reduced to 10 men when defender Jean Yves Mvoto was sent off just three minutes later after bringing down Jonathan Rhodes.

Blackburn immediately equalised as on-loan midfielder Tom Cairney scored from a free kick.

Jordan Rhodes gave the home side the lead on the half-hour mark when he headed past Barnsley keeper Luke Steele following Todd Kane's cross.

Rhodes added his second of the game in the 39th minute after lifting the ball over Steele having being played through by Scott Dann.

Blackburn soon made it four after Joshua King slotted home Todd Kane's cross at the back post.
