Stoke City’s surge up the EFL Championship table continued on Tuesday at Ewood Park with Jack McGlynn amongst the goals once again.McGlynn scored his fourth goal of the season as the Potters defeated Blackburn Rovers 2-1 in league play. The American midfielder logged his latest 90-minute shift as Mark Robins’ squad moved up to third place in the standings. While it looked like the two teams were going into the interval goal-less, McGlynn had other ideas. McGlynn lined up a long-range free kick on the left wing and surprisingly caught Blackburn goalkeeper Balazs Toth off guard. Toth was unable to punch away McGlynn’s left-footed effort, watching as it snuck into the back of the net for a 1-0 Stoke City advantage.It marked back-to-back goalscoring outings for the 23-year-old McGlynn.

Blackburn Rovers trimmed the deficit late in the second half thanks to Andri Gudjohnsen’s goal but Stoke City would hang on for a vital three points away from home. McGlynn finished the match with five duels won, six defensive contributions, and an 80% passing completion rate (40/50). His continued impact in the final-third drew praise from both manager Mark Robins and fellow midfielder Justin Devenny. “Jack pulled out a bit of magic for us, which he’s done a few times this season to be fair,” Devenny said about McGlynn. “Every week he’s getting better and better. No matter where he’s at on the field, he’s going to be dangerous. Such a good player.”“He’s the only player on the pitch that could score that,” Robins said. “Maybe 1-2 on our team, maybe Todd Cantwell on their team but that is an incredible free kick. We were delighted with that.”Fellow American Luca Bombino logged 45 minutes from the start, continuing his busy run in the squad. The Potters will next travel to Portsmouth on Saturday in their final match before the November international break.
