Connor Mahoney struck twice in the second half as Blackburn Rovers ended a six-match winless run in Division 2 with a 3-1 defeat of Norwich City.

Joe Rankin-Costello gave Rovers a 13th-minute lead at the Norwich training ground but the home side, with Michael Turner and Matt Jarvis in their line-up, equalised early in the second half with a penalty by Carlton Morris.

After Morris had hit the Blackburn bar, Mahoney restored the visitors' lead with a penalty before adding another from close range.

Norwich are next in action on Monday 9 January against West Ham United at Dagenham, while Blackburn entertain league leaders Swansea City at the Lancashire FA on the same night.
