LOAN WATCH: Hull midfielder Cairney opens account for Blackburn

by Andrew Maclean

On-loan Hull City midfielder Tom Cairney enjoyed his first goal for Blackburn Rovers as they defeated Barnsley 5-2 on the weekend.

Barnsley took the lead early, however their hard work would be undone only moments later as Jean Yves M'voto was shown a straight red card for his challenge on Jordan Rhodes.

Cairney stepped up and converted the resulting free kick with a fabulous strike into the top corner, setting up his side to take the three points at Ewood Park.

The 22-year old Englishman has represented his country at Under 19 and 21 level and he'll be hoping to continue his form by garnering more first team experience with Blackburn this season.
