Aston Villa and Sunderland play out a draw yet all eyes were on Harry Redknapp’s men as they continued their horrendous run in the Barclays Premier League.
Aston Villa vs. Sunderland: Sunderland manager, Martin O’Neill, was looking forward to a return to his former employers, Aston Villa at Villa Park on the weekend but more importantly was looking for three-points which could have taken them
level with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 on 46 points.
It was a hotly contested match that, unfortunately, did not produce any goals as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 McLeish’s Villains were an equal match for their opponents.
The only noteworthy event that took place in the match was the sending off of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Craig-Gardner-c9475 in the 92nd minute. The Sunderland player left it late to pick up a second bookable offence and was given his marching orders by referee, Anthony Taylor.
Final Score: AVL 0 – 0 SUN
Queens Park http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rangers-c40314 vs. Tottenham Hotspur: Many view the result as a surprise or an upset, yet if one was to look at the form of that Tottenham have been in recently the final score would be received with fewer raised eyebrows.
Tottenham have been suffering since their manager, Harry Redknapp, was linked with the vacant managerial post for the national team and crashing out of the FA Cup semi-final was not how the Spurs would have wanted to be ending their first solid cup campaign
in a long time.
However, their luck did not change against QPR, which many deemed to be the perfect side for Spurs to get their act together against. Instead, the nightmare continued as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Adel-Taarabt-c3610 scored from a beautifully taken free kick that beat the wall and the keeper
and ended up in the back of Tottenham’s net on 24 minutes.
Tottenham responded looking for a goal to salvage at least a point from the match, yet QPR held on till the final whistle to record a much needed victory, despite having gone a man down when the goal scorer, Adel Taarabt was sent off for a second bookable
offence.
Final Score: QPR 1 – 0 TOT
