Watford 0-0 Queens Park Rangers: Hornets held but extend unbeaten home run to 15 matches

By Total Football News

But the Hoops twice went close to a late winner, with Harrison Ashby skewing a shot wide when one-on-one and Celar crashing a shot against the outside of the right-hand post in a frantic finale.

The point was not enough to lift Marti Cifuentes’ side out of the relegation places, despite QPR now going three matches unbeaten, but it was an impressive display against an in-form Hornets side who failed

Queens Park Rangers 1-1 Stoke City: QPR still seek first home win

By Total Football News

QPR head coach Marti Cifuentes told BBC Radio London:

“Football is about achieving, not deserving but you could say that according to the amount of chances we deserved something else – but football is about quality.

“In the first half we were very dominant and created a lot of situations, but one mistake and an amazing strike from (Tom) Cannon gave them the lead.

“It was not easy mentally

Sheffield Wednesday 1-1 Cardiff City: Dominant Owls held at home

By Total Football News

It took less than a minute for Wednesday to assert themselves on this encounter.

Striker Ike Ugbo, who spent the first half of last season on loan at Cardiff, is still without a league goal in this campaign but thought he had finally got off the mark after just 38 seconds here, only for his neat finish to be ruled out for offside.

The Canada international had another chance eight

West Brom v Burnley: Goal-shy Albion need to up home scoring rate

By Total Football News

West Bromwich Albion fans will be wishing, hoping and maybe even praying for goals when they host Burnley on Thursday night.

The Lord may be their Shepherd – and they shall not want. But, as far as hitting the back of the net is concerned, in their home blue and white stripes, Albion have sure been found wanting this season.

In six league games at The Hawthorns so far, the

Tottenham are Premier League’s comeback kings – how Spurs fought back to win at home, again

By Total Football News

The whole Tottenham team got the result they deserved against Villa, but I was particularly pleased that Solanke was rewarded for such a fine individual performance with two goals.

He joined Tottenham for £65m in the summer off the back of a wonderful campaign for Bournemouth but made a stuttering start this season with Spurs, which can happen.

All players need a bit of time to settle at a new

West Ham United 4-1 Ipswich Town: Hammers overpower visitors for first home Premier League win of season

By Total Football News

For Ipswich it was a painful lesson after they had fought back from conceding inside the opening minute, courtesy of Delap’s fourth goal for the club since his £20m move from Manchester City.

Kieran McKenna’s side had won successive promotions to return to the Premier League for the first time since 2001-02 and had come into this game on the back of four successive draws, against Brighton, Fulham, Southampton and

Can Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag survive home humiliation by Spurs?

By Total Football News

Ten Hag claimed the red card shown to captain Bruno Fernandes three minutes before half-time “changed the game”. It did not. United’s manager is deluding only himself if he believes this. It made United’s task even harder, but Spurs were threatening to run riot even before Fernandes’ dismissal.

If it was decided to stage a world straw-clutching championship, Ten Hag would have a good chance of winning with that one.

Blackburn keep up unbeaten home record with QPR win

By Total Football News

Blackburn Rovers maintained their 100% home Championship record with a 2-0 win against 10-player QPR at Ewood Park.

An uneventful game was turned on its head in first-half stoppage time when Jonathan Varane was sent off for a late challenge on Danny Batth to reduce the visitors to 10.

Rovers captain Lewis Travis and Batth scored for the home side in a dominant second-half performance after John Eustace introduced the

Sargent’s early sliding effort from Sainz’s teasing ball across the face of goal was denied by a good save from Daniel Bachmann, but Norwich’s fast start was rewarded soon after.

Doyle picked up the ball in midfield, skipped past Giorgi Chakvetadze and blasted home from the edge of the box as Bachmann failed to keep out the effort despite getting two hands to it.

Watford’s Tom Dele-Bashiru blazed over from

Michael Cooper: Plymouth Argyle goalkeeper expected to stay at Home Park

By Total Football News

Plymouth Argyle boss Wayne Rooney says he expects goalkeeper Michael Cooper to stay at the club despite speculation over his future.

Cooper has missed a large chunk of the last two seasons with injuries but has been first choice when fit.

The highly-rated 24-year-old has a year left to run on his contract and has been linked with a move away from Home Park this season so Argyle do not
