Blackburn 2 MyPa 0 (3-0 agg) August 30 2007

David Bentley improved his chances of an England call-up with a superb volley that put Blackburn on the road to a 2-0 UEFA Cup win over MyPa.

Bentley enjoyed the moment as it was his first goal of the season and came on the eve of Steve McClaren's England squad announcement.

With David Beckham and Kieron Dyer both injured, he might now be considered an option by the national team manager for the crucial Euro 2008 qualifiers against Israel and Russia.

Bentley's goal in this second qualifying round second leg tie at Ewood Park eased Blackburn's nerves and with Jason Roberts adding a second in stoppage time, it extended their unbeaten run to 13 matches stretching back to last season.

MyPa made a decent fist of it after losing 1-0 in Finland, but Rovers' 3-0 aggregate lead puts them into Friday's UEFA Cup first-round draw.
