Steve Kean hails Gael Givet as a "warrior" after the Blackburn defender's extra-time winner against Newcastle in the Carling Cup.

Blackburn Rovers manager Steve Kean has hailed the influence of Gael Givet after the club's 4-3 Carling Cup win over Newcastle.

Givet popped up with the winner in the final minute of extra time at Ewood Park, despite carrying a leg injury.

"Gael Givet encapsulates the whole spirit we have got here - he had a hamstring nick but would not come off," said Kean.

"He's a warrior, he has put his head where other people wouldn't put their feet. He was fantastic."

Newcastle came from 2-0 and 3-2 down during the match before Givet's last-gasp winner.

The 30-year-old has scored four goals for Blackburn since joining from Monaco in 2009.

Blackburn return to Premier League action against Norwich on Saturday afternoon.
