Michael Owen came to Graeme Souness´ rescue at Ewood Park on Sunday and prevented his new manager´s nemesis from dealing his difficult reign a potentially fatal blow.Beleaguered Souness must have been having nightmares about coming face to face with Craig Bellamy after selling the striker following their much publicised summer spat.But he was left celebrating Owen´s first Newcastle goal, as well as a superb strike from Alan Shearer and a cool finish from Charles N´Zogbia, which helped significantly ease the pressure and provided the visitors with a 3-0 win, their first Barclays Premiership win of the season at the sixth attempt.
