TEN-MAN Blackburn Rovers secured a dramatic 3-2 Premier League 2 victory over Wolves at Leyland in a match which saw fit-again first-team striker Anthony Stokes score and see red.
Lewis Hardcastle put the home side in front on 26 minutes with a deflected strike before Stokes doubled the lead from the penalty spot after a foul on defender Ryan Nyambe.
But Wolves hit back with two goals in as many minutes as Connor Ronan halved the deficit from the spot after Matty Platt's foul on Niall Ennis before Bright Enobakhare levelled the scores just after the hour.
Stokes was then controversially sent off for two yellow cards inside two minutes but Rovers made light of the dismissal as Lewis Mansell finished smartly with 20 minutes left to play.
