Blackburn Rovers are out of The FA Cup after two goals in as many minutes secured victory for Wolves at Ewood Park.

The Premier League outfit decided the match in 60 seconds as they went from 0-0 to 2-0 with goals from Joao Gomes and Matheus Cunha. That proved to be all they needed though Rovers competed well without being clinical.

With much of the pre-match chatter surrounding the future of John Eustace, his team on the pitch did not seem phased by the speculation.

They could and maube should have been ahead when Dom Hyam headed in a free-kick, only to be denied by an offside flag. Replays show the decision was very tight, if not incorrect.

Augustus Kargbo, on debut, shot over and had a penalty appeal turned down in the opening half an hour, which Rovers shaded. But they had nothing to show for it and the game quickly turned.

Wolves showed their ruthlessness as they took advantage of Rovers losing the ball to score. Gomes dug the ball out from under his feet and Balazs Toth couldn't get down to stop it; the ball wriggled under his body and he should have done better.

That was a blow but the game was effectively over within 60 seconds of restarting. Matheus Cunha wasn't tracked as he ran across the width of the box and was slipped in, firing across the Rovers goalkeeper and win.

Rovers rallied and certainly didn't disgrace themselves but lacked the necessary punch after going behind. They had to be perfect for a positive result and just weren't clinical enough.

Much of the pre-match mood was filled by anxiety, with speculation swirling over the future of Eustace. The Rovers head coach was marking his one-year anniversary in charge but yet there is major doubt over how many more games he'll take in the Ewood Park dugout.

The irony is that Eustace walked into the job with Rovers entrenched in a relegation battle. Would he swap a top-six push for that same fight at Pride Park, 12 months on? It would be a damning indictment if so. But Derby wouldn't have made an official approach without some encouragement their efforts would be successful.

Yet, this FA Cup clash offered some relief, for a few hours. Fans, at least, had some new faces to focus on as Eustace handed full debuts to Yuri Ribeiro, Emmanuel Dennis and Kargbo. They were part of eight changes with the Rovers head coach heavily rotating his squad.

The new Rovers boy were involved early on and were making an impression. Dennis showed some nice touches with his back to goal whilst the pace and direct running of Kargbo caused Wolves issues.

The latter could've opened the scoring as the ball broke nicely to him in the box. But as he cut inside to shoot, he blazed the effort over the crossbar.

Rovers then had the ball in the net but it was controversially ruled out. Hyam met a free-kick at the back post to nod in but was flagged offside. Replays suggest that the defender was in fact onside and Rovers had been harshly treated.

Kargbo's speed continued to give Rovers an outlet on the counter-attack. He again led a quick break and went down in the area but was booked for diving. This time, the replay suggested it was the right decision.

Having been more than competitive for 30 minutes, Rovers had only themselves to blame for what followed. Wolves opened the scoring on 33' as Gomes fired in under the body of Toth, a shot the goalkeeper should have saved. It was a scrappy and avoidable goal which the visitors hadn't really merited at that stage.

The Premier League class was then on show 60 seconds later as one soon became two. Cunha was allowed to drift across the box without being tracked and latched on to Nelson Semedo's through ball to fire across Toth. Little he could to this time and, suddenly, Rovers found themselves with a mountain to climb.

Rovers again started the second half brightly and continued to ask questions of the Wolves defence. Kargbo was a constant nuisance off the left and started the attack which saw Todd Cantwell exchange passes with Amario Cozier-Duberry before firing over.

With an hour on the clock, it was merely finishing that separated the two teams. You coild not argue that Rovers hadn't competed or posed questions. They had simply not capitalised on their moment and, perhaps, lacked a bit of luck with the officials.

Dennis and Kargbo's afternoons came to an end on 67', having ran their race. Both showed real glimpses of potential, with the latter particularly lively and direct running from the left wing.

After weathering the pressure, Wolves began to control proceedings. The 'oles' came from the away end as they started and almost finished the move with substitute Marshall Munetsi heading into the net. Cunha also went close to his second as he nodded over shortly before.

Cunha then forced a smart save from Toth before Munetsi fired just wide from a corner, with Wolves ending the game strong. Danny Batth had to clear an effort from the Brazilian off the line too.

The quickfire double proved to be decisive, ending Blackburn Rovers' FA Cup campaign. However, the next 24 hours and the future of their head coach will be far more important to dictating long-term trajectory.
