News about Sam Gallagher

Newcastle United are 1/4 favourites to win their fifth round FA Cup tie against Blackburn on Thursday. In comparison, the Rovers, who are at home, are 11/4 strangers to reach the last eight of the tournament. Sam Gallagher is the best-backed for Blackburn in the 'Shots on Target' series, while Alexander Isak is the one generating the most buzz among Newcastle players. Gallagher has 2+, 3+, or 4+ shots on target, while Isak has 15/8 and 5/1 to shoot 3+ or 4+ targets respectively.

@ EWOOD PARK: The film crews filming on the forthcoming sequel to Welcome to Wrexham also got some lovely photos of the 7,338 red-clad supporters who packed the away end. And it's fair to say that Andy Cannon's wild celebrations as the Welsh club's captain, who will not be left on the cutting room floor, will not be left on the cutting room floor. However, football so often refuses to follow the script, and Wrexham's hopes of a Hollywood-authored FA Cup fairytale fell into reality on a rainy night in Lancashire.

Last week, more than 30 representatives from various clubs watched Blackburn Rovers' 1-1 draw with Coventry City - and many of them were focused on one man, Adam Wharton. Wharton, 18, a promising young talent who is still part of the England under-19s system, put in a good show during the score draw between two playoff hopefuls with the hopes of making it to the Premier League. Dan Ashworth of Newcastle United was one of those who attended Ewood Park for Wednesday's Championship match, although Sam Gallagher's first-half goal for the hosts was disallowed in the fifth minute by Coventry keeper Ben Wilson in the fifth minute of stoppage time.

JACK GAUGHAN vs. BRAMALL LANE If ever a club needed a stoppage-time winner, scored by a young man whose grandparents were both FA Cup champions with Manchester City in 1969, Sheffield United are it. Not just for the romance of a Wembley semi-final, but also for the atmosphere and bank balance. At Bramall Lane, it's been a tough time. They may not go into administration, but the financials are bleak unless a takeover agreement is reached, with Nigerian Dozy Mmobuosi awaiting to complete the transaction.

When Ki-Jana Hoever tripled his career goals in 19 first half minutes at the bet365 Stadium, he demonstrated why he was once one of Europe's top youth football clubs. In the final four minutes, Blackburn gave the scoreline a lopsided look with two goals, the first when Ben Breton Diaz was dropped in Callum's cross before Sam Gallagher did likewise from Harry Pickering's center. However, it was still too little late, owing in large part to Hoever.

TOM COLLOMOSSE ATTENDANCE: This was not the way Brendan Rodgers wanted to celebrate four years in charge of Leicester when they were kicked out of the FA Cup by Blackburn to boos from the home crowd. Leicester's 2021 champions of this competition were humiliatingly poor, with Tyrhys Dolan and Sammie Szmodics' goals propelling them into round six for the first time in eight years. Kelechi Iheanacho's strike did not save Leicester, and it's unclear what effect this result has on the Premier League's relegation battle.

With Rovers looking to push for promotion to the Premier League following a disappointing start to last season, goals from Ben Breton DIaz and Sam Gallagher ensured Jon Dahl Tomasson's side returned to the top of the Championship table with nine points from a possible nine. However, the hosts at Ewood Park weren't all planes sailing, with Rovers only having two shots on target in the game.
