Well, yes it's true. What was always going to be a tough fixture (especially if Carrol played.................he came on as sub! ) just got so much trickier after Victor Wanyama's daft tackle in the 54th min got him sent off for the third time this season and a 5 game ban ! ! ! Could they hang on??? 36minutes to defend Yoshida's excellent 10th minute opener ! Well hang on they did with a mixture of stout defending poor attacking and another brilliant save from Fraser Forster( 5 clean sheets in a row, a new club record). West Ham couldn't generate any clear chances and Long and Austin could have put the game beyond the Hammers but missed great chances.
Still the real shock ( or was it ? ) was Leicester's demolition of Man City 3-1 (trust me it was a demolition despite Aguero's late consolation ). At the Etihad, were few teams get any points, some poor defending cost City BIG and dented their Championship ambitions as Leicester went into a SIX point lead at the top. Defender Huth got 2 goals ! ! Yes SIX points clear. 14 games to go, this has gotten really interesting.
Wins also for Villa, Newcastle, Everton and Spurs. Liverpool were cruising to a 2-0 victory when a 77th minute walkout by the Liverpool fans( complaining about a proposed ticket price hike next season) co-insided with a stunning Sunderland revival thanks to poor goalkeeping from Mignolet and a Defoe poacher goal.
Local news. Premiership Bournemouth host Arsenal later today. Div 2 Portsmouth lose at home and National side Eastleigh lose 3-0 at Lincoln.
Full Europe results tonight. Later peeps.
