Blackburn Rovers manager Gary Bowyer has lauded the performance of Rudy Gestede during this afternoon's goalless FA Cup quarter-final with Liverpool.
Gestede was at the centre of the action from the word go as he went up for a challenge with Martin Skrtel in the third minute that saw the Slovakian knocked out and taken off with concussion.
After that he was a thorn in Liverpool's side, winning several headers and holding the ball up multiple times.
"We carried out the gameplan to a tee and Rudy Gestede played really well," Bowyer told BT Sport after the final whistle.
"He was immense and had a few great opportunities. Unfortunately we just couldn't convert one."
The date of the replay has not yet been confirmed, but it might not be until April.
