Football: Crystal Palace 0 - 0 Bournemouth

Image
Bournemouth were held to a draw by 10-man Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. The home side had to play over half the match with a numerical disadvantage after Chris Richards' dismissal in first-half stoppage time, but Andoni Iraola's side failed to break down their opponents in a second-half low on goalmouth drama. Author - Ajay The first 45 minutes had ended in controversy after Palace defender Richards was shown a second yellow card for a tug on Justin Kluivert. Palace fans and players were incensed at the decision, particularly as the referee had opted against dismissing Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott for a second bookable offence following a foul on Ismaila Sarr 10 minutes earlier.  Maybe some controversy would liven things up?

QPR complete late comeback against Preston Lucas Andersen scored a sensational 93rd-minute winner to seal a dramatic 2-1 comeback victory for Queen’s Park Rangers over Preston North End at Deepdale.

The result lifts the R’s further clear of the relegation zone in the Championship table, pulling away from a Preston side who began the day just one point behind them in 16th. In a first half short on rhythm and interrupted by many fouls, it was Preston who made the breakthrough deep into added time. Veteran full-back Robbie Brady delivered a teasing cross and Lindsay rose above his marker to crash a header past Paul Nardi for his first goal of the campaign.

It was a bad Good Friday for Millwall Blackburn Rovers delivered a resounding victory to put a major dent in Millwall’s flickering hopes of a late push for the Championship play-offs. Author - Mark Lee Norwegian midfielder Sondre Tronstad opened his league account in style, netting twice as Rovers secured their first home win in over two months. In a frenetic end to the first half, Dominic Hyam’s header and a deflected strike from Tronstad came either side of Mihailo Ivanovic’s equaliser, sending Blackburn in at the break with a 2–1 lead. Callum Brittain extended the advantage with a sharp finish at the near post, before Tronstad lashed in his second to round off a commanding display and leave Millwall’s debutant goalkeeper, George Evans, with little chance. Victory would have seen Millwall close the gap to the top six to just three points. Instead, they remain six adrift with only three matches left to play, their promotion ambitions now hanging by a thread. A closer look at the i...
