The Scotland international has been tipped for a £12million move to Sheffield Wednesday or Middlesbrough this month but proved his worth with a second-half winner for the Championship side.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
Ben Marshall put Rovers in front with an early penalty before Mark Byrne equalised for the home side after Chris Brown had been sent off for the visitors.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
Marshall had given the visitors the best possible start when he won and scored a penalty after just six minutes following a push in the back from defender Scott Barrow.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
But Blackburn's ecstasy quickly evaporated when Brown was sent off for a horror challenge on Medy Elito which left the midfielder unable to continue.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
The red card allowed Newport to get a foothold in the contest and they were soon level thanks to a stunning strike from Byrne from the edge of the area.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
Blackburn boss Paul Lambert called upon Rhodes for the second half and he was soon causing problems for the Newport defence.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
The 25-year-old then got the winner with a superb header from Tom Lawrence's free kick from the left to book their fourth-round clash with Oxford United.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
Newport's misery was then compounded when goalkeeper Joe Day was sent off in the final moments for a foul on Craig Conway.</div>

NEWPORT COUNTY striker Lenell John-Lewis woke Brackley Town from their FA Cup dream after just 38 seconds.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
A strong breeze had Brackley captain Luke Graham in all-sorts of trouble after Joe Day's long clearance down-field, and John-Lewis pounced to poke the ball home.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
It did not take long for the League Two side to assert their dominance, as Yan Klukowski curled a free-kick into the top-left corner after 17 minutes.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
Right-back Aidan Hawtin silenced the Rodney Parade crowd when he powered James Akintunde's low cross past Day before half-time.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
But Alex Rodman made sure Newport booked their second-round date at Barnet with a low drive into the bottom corner after John-Lewis found him free in the 18-yard box.</div>
<div class="storycopy" style="text-align: justify;">
And having scored at the right end, Hawtin made sure of his side's FA Cup exit when he diverted Tom Owen-Evans' cross into his own goal.</div>
