The Good Duff

Shane Duffy’s winner for Blackburn after three own goals in previous two games makes Twitter explode

Irish defender had also been sent off but went from zero to hero thanks to extra-time winner

SHANE DUFFY went from zero to hero when he scored the winner for Blackburn - after bagging three own goals in two games.

Twitter exploded after the Irish defender redeemed himself with an extra-time header to send Rovers into round three of the EFL Cup.

He met a cross in the 97th minute to secure a 4-3 win against Crewe after full-time finished 3-3.

And social media lit up with joy at the news he had finally done something right on the pitch.

Duffy bagged two own goals in six first-half minutes to gift Cardiff their first win of the season six days ago.

He was also sent off late on.

That horror show came the game after he again found his own net, this time getting the third in a 3-0 defeat to Wigan.

But maybe now he has restored equilibrium after his second goal in the correct net came three games after he scored the second in Rovers' 3-1 win over Mansfield.
