Corry Evans took the plaudits after the Northern Ireland international returned from a gruesome injury to lead Blackburn to a 3-1 win over fellow promotion hopefuls Bristol City as their Championship campaign got back under way at Ewood Park. “If you see the pictures you wouldn’t have recognised Corry two or three weeks after the initial injury,” Mowbray said. “His face was all swollen, his eyes were closed, his hairline was stretched and he had a huge scar on top of his skull. It was Evans’ first goal in the league since November 2015, and a hard-earned reward for the work he has put in to come back from his injuries. “It felt good for myself to be back out on the football pitch,” Evans said.
