Young Blackburn fan throws pyro onto Accrington pitch before security speak with kid

A young Blackburn Rovers fan throws pyro onto the pitch at Accrington Stanley before members of security speak with a different kid.

A video is going viral showing the moment it happened, as the two EFL sides played each other twice in two pre-season friendlies.

Match one at the Wham Stadium finished goalless, while the second game was a more exciting 2-2 scoreline in front of 4,618 fans (2,395 in the away end).

FIRST GAME:

Rovers’ opening game of pre-season ended goalless, as the two keepers came out on top in the first friendly at the Wham Stadium.

The Stanley stopper made a remarkable reflex save to deny John Buckley at one end, whilst Thomas Kaminski made several smart stops at the other end.

ACCRINGTON: Trialist (Isherwood 52), O’Brien (Morgan 40), Trialist, Hamilton, Trialist, Lowe (Adekoya 52), Longelo (Patrick 29), Trialist, Martin, Quirk, Conneely.

ROVERS: Kaminski, Brittain, Hyam, Phillips, Pickering, Tronstad (Weston 44), Szmodics, Buckley, Vale, Markanday, Gallagher.

Subs not used: Hilton, Barnes, Atcheson, Davies, Gamble, Edmondson, Wood.

SECOND GAME:

Ryan Hedges grabbed a birthday goal and assist, as Rovers came back from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Accrington Stanley in the second pre-season friendly of the day at the Wham Stadium.

The hosts took the lead on four minutes when Jack Nolan’s left-foot shot found the bottom corner.

Stanley doubled their advantage on 42 minutes when Korede Adedoyin converted from the penalty spot, before Hedges fired home from Joe Rankin-Costello’s centre to halve the deficit just minutes later.

Dolan secured a share of the spoils on 53 minutes, latching onto Hedges’ pass before coolly slotting the ball into the bottom corner.

ACCRINGTON: Trialist (Isherwood 52), Pickles, Coyle, Whalley (Massey 52), McConville (Henderson 52), Nolan (Trickett 54), Leigh, Adedoyin (Poilly 54), Fernandes, Sloane, Trialist (Devonport 46).

Subs not used: Hilton, Barnes, Atcheson, Davies, Gamble, Wood.

Goals: Hedges (44), Dolan (53)
Booked: Carter, S. Wharton

Speaking after the friendlies, Tomasson told RoversTV: “There was some quality moments and some very poor moments, which you would expect in your first game.

“But I think it was a great game to get pre-season started. We played here last year as well against Accrington, who are solid opponents and who make it difficult for you.

“I saw some new players today – the Norwegian boy getting used to things and of course some of the youngsters got their opportunity.

“It was great to see (James) Edmondson getting 30 minutes and the way he played, so in that way it was positive.

“With the situation we’re in at Rovers, where we don’t have the financial resources to spend and spend, we also need to create our own players and we like that. It’s part of the plan and I love to build things. I know it’s a difficult project, but I love a good challenge.

“As we go further into pre-season we need to see more of the things that we’ve been working on, but the main aim today was to get 60 minutes into the players’ legs and we didn’t pick up any injuries, and then we’ll build things up in Austria next week.

“It’s great to be back and it’s great to see that this young team are really motivated and ambitious.

“In that way, I’m enjoying it each day at the training ground and we’re working hard to progress every day.”
