Weimann roots out scoring form

FA Cup hero Andi Weimann has attributed his return to the Blackburn scoresheet with a timley change of hairstyle.

The 33-year-old bagged the only goal on 70 minutes to settle Rovers' third round tie at Middlesbrough on Saturday.

It ended a six-match scoring drought for the Austrian, extended to more than two months by a knee injury following his double in the 3-1 win at Cardiff in the Championship on 9 November.

He told the club website: "The boys said when I've got blonde hair I score goals, so I got it done two days ago and it worked."
