Nigeria's Yakubu scores 4 as Blackburn beats Swansea 4-2 Ayegbeni Yakubu scored four goals as Blackburn won its first Premier League game in nine matches, beating Swansea 4-2
The Nigerian striker scored in the 20th and 45th minutes at Ewood Park, before grabbing his hat trick in the 57th. He added a fourth with a penalty kick in the 82nd. Leroy Lita and Luke Moore scored for Swansea. The win moves Blackburn up two places to 18th—above Bolton and Wigan—and removes some pressure from under-fire manager Steve Kean. Blackburn exited the League Cup on Tuesday, beaten 2-0 by second-tier team Cardiff, with Kean saying he chose a weakened team to focus on the league.
