Watch: Graham's scooped finish earns Rovers lead vs. Manchester United

Striker Danny Graham, who's trying to rebuild his career at financially stricken second-tier club Blackburn Rovers, scored the 17th-minute opener against Manchester United in Sunday's FA Cup fifth-round tilt.
Graham, 31, cost Sunderland £5 million just over four years ago, but trudged his way to a miserly record of just one goal over 37 Premier League appearances before his summer move to Lancashire.
This season, he has a respectable 11 goals in 26 outings for an outfit mired in the Championship's relegation zone.
Manchester United equalised on 27 minutes when Marcus Rashford streamed onto a Henrikh Mkhitaryan pass - although the space the Blackburn defence allowed through the middle could've granted entry to a cruise ship.
