SPANISH ace Ruben Rochina fired Blackburn Rovers reserves to the Northern title last night, scoring a brace in a 2-1 play-off final win over Manchester United.
An early wonder goal from the former Barcelona man helped Rovers on their way and by the time he added his second just before the break, the visitors were well in control.
Rovers travel to Stamford Bridge on Monday in the grand final against southern champions Chelsea, kick off 7.30pm.
Reserve team boss Gary Bowyer said: “The lads did ever so well to see it out.
"We are a young team, we have some young lads in there especially when you take out the senior lads like Ruben and Niko.”
