Bowyer plays down Blackburn FA Cup chances after Stoke thumping

Blackburn Rovers manager Gary Bowyer played down their FA Cup glory hopes, despite thrashing Stoke City 4-1.

Rovers recovered from Stoke striker Peter Crouch's 10th-minute opener to win 4-1 with a hat-trick from Josh King and a penalty - which also led to the sending off of Potters defender Geoff Cameron - from top scorer Rudy Gestede.

"Win it? Do me a favour, I have just finished this game," said Bowyer.

"We are just delighted to be in the next round. We would love another home tie and then we will go from there."
