Leeds United loanee Marcus Antonsson is delighted at having helped Blackburn Rovers to win their last five league games on the bounce.

Antonsson is on a season-long loan at Ewood Park after being declared surplus to requirements at Leeds in the summer.




The Swede has found his feet in League One and helped Tony Mowbray's side to beat Peterborough United 3-2 away from home on Saturday, making it five wins in a row in the league.

And Antonsson is delighted with Blackburn's achievement.
 


He took to social media and wrote: "5 in a row in the league."

Next up for Rovers is a visit to Gresty Road to take on Crewe Alexandra in an FA Cup replay.

The original tie between the two clubs at Ewood Park ended in a thrilling 3-3 draw.
