City lost their heads at the end and a mass brawl broke out after Aguero's dirty knee high challenge on Luiz. Hopefully both of these despicable club's get closed down permanently.

Another punch up at Sheff Wed as two Preston players - Eoin Doyle and Jermaine Beckford both get red carded, in similar fashion to that famous Lee Bowyer / Kieron Dyer Newcastle incident :-

Preston had Jermaine Beckford and Eoin Doyle sent off after fighting with one another in the last minute as they lost at Sheffield Wednesday.

Fernando Forestieri's header put the Owls ahead early on, but the striker was sent off for a second-half off-the-ball incident with Ben Pearson.

Steven Fletcher's penalty doubled the lead before Doyle pulled one back.

Doyle and Beckford came to blows after the Irishman failed to play Beckford in as North End looked for an equaliser.

The fight between the two Preston forwards came in the final minute of normal time as the visitors looked like they would be able to level.

Wednesday, having used all three substitutes and seen Forestieri dismissed, were temporarily down to nine men as Will Buckley was off having lengthy treatment for a shoulder injury.

Doyle broke and played the ball to Marnick Vermijl, whose first-time shot was blasted over the bar, much to the ire of half-time substitute Beckford, who thought he was in a better position to score.

"What a farce, an absolute farce. Jermaine Beckford and Eoin Doyle, hang your heads in shame, that is embarrassing.

Scott ReadBBC Radio Lancashire commentator
He and Doyle then came together and exchanged blows, leaving referee Scott Duncan with little choice but to send the pair off.

In the first half Greg Cunningham could have equalised for Preston soon after Forestieri's opener, but the defender's long-range shot hit the post.

Both sides could have scored in a hectic end to the first half as first Jack Hunt shot wide for Wednesday, then Preston's Aiden McGeady forced Keiran Westwood into a fine save before Owls substitute Buckley headed wide at the far post when the goal was gaping after Forestieri's excellent pass.

Beckford had a goal disallowed soon after coming on - the former Leeds United and Everton forward scoring from a free-kick but referee Scott Duncan said it was taken too quickly.

Forestieri then got his marching orders before Fletcher converted from the spot after Buckley was brought down in the area by goalkeeper Chris Maxwell.

Doyle pulled a goal back when he fired low into the corner, but Wednesday held on to climb to fifth in the Championship while Preston slip to 15th.

We really need QPR games every 48 hours to give us a chance to move on from the last match quickly. A couple of days of analysis, debate, hand wringing, calling for heads is more than enough.
 
Bournemouth keeper Artur Boruc secures a couple of entries in the Rob Green's book of goalkeeping bloopers to allow Liverpool a 2-0 lead in just a couple of 1st half mins - Milner gives up a penalty to allow Bournemouth to pull a goal back in the 2nd half, now 3-1.

Boruc also just willingly caught the ball and carried it 99% over his own goal line - technology saved him in this case. Bournemoth now back 2-3 (sub Ryan Fraser, who also won the penalty)

Yesterday Saints keeper Fraser Forster made his own contribution in classic style, with England manager Gareth Southgate watching, and along with the rest of the Saints players, Charlie didn't get up to much either in a 3-0 loss.

Fantastic display by Bournemouth to come out 4-3 winners, after being 2-0, then 3-1 down - Klopp must be doing his nut - if only we could demonstrate that kind of gutsy determination to overcome adversity in our matches. Along with the lucky Boruc today, a very dodgy Liverpool keeper.

Robbie Savage quotes:-

Liverpool need to buy goalkeeper in January !

If I was klopp I'd go for hart and van dijk in January ! Would city sell hart to a rival ??

Watching the Rome derby live. Roma have taken the lead in the past few minutes. Just seen a first - one of the Lazio subs has just been sent off. Yes, he wasn't playing at he time. One of the Roma players threw water in his face when he was on the line. He reacted and pulled his shirt and got sent off. Roma just gone 2-0 up.
