Vitor Peirera made five changes as he rotated his team for the contest.

The BBC covered the game live from Ewood Park, showing viewers Wolves' formation prior to kick-off.

And a fourth wrote: "BBC got Strand Larsen in line up, clueless."

Wolves' standout players of the season so far combined to send them safely into the fifth round.

Joao Gomes and Matheus Cunha both netted before the break as the Prem side avoided a potential upset.

But some fans were convinced Blackburn should have had an early goal before going on to lose 2-0.

Rovers' Dominic Hyam headed home at the back post from a free-kick with the scores level after 18 minutes.

The goal was immediately ruled out for offside by the linesman.

Replays showed that Wolves' Hwang Hee-chan looked to have played Hyam onside.

With no VAR in operation during the fourth round, Wolves were let off the hook.
