The hand of Szmod

SAMMIE WRECKS 'EM

- DAVID ANDERSON

GOAL MACHINE Sammie Szmodics continued his red-hot form for Blackburn to set up an FA Cup reunion for Jon Dahl Tomasson with Newcastle.

Szmodics scored twice to take his tally for the season to 21 and become the FA Cup's joint top scorer with Brighton's Joao Pedro on five.

Tomasson will relish facing Newcastle at Ewood Park in the fifth round having managed just four goals for them during his one season on Tyneside in 1997-98.
