FA
CUP 3rd ROUND
7th january 2006 12,705 EWOOD PARK |
A
brace for Craig Bellamy, and an opener from Andy Todd made sure
that Blackburn will be in the draw fro the fourth round of this
years FA Cup. Brad Friedal only had one important save to make,
and despite attempts by QPR to get back into the game, the introduction
of former Rovers Gareth Ainsworth was the only time that the Championship
side looked likely to make any impact.
But the 'Man of the Match' award went to youngster Sergio Peter who was responsible for setting up all three goals. In the reserves, Sergio is the top scorer and he's already been on the bench for the first team, but the FA cup gave him his first start. |

CUP 4th ROUND 28th january 2006 23,700 UPTON PARK  |
1-0
up after 28 seconds - then out of the FA cup in Round 4! West Ham 4 - Blackburn 2 Despite having the best possible start with a goal from David Bentley after under half a minute - Rovers dominance and possession over the 90 minutes couldn't avoid the disappointment of defeat in the FA Cup. Bentley had the easiest of tap ins, and things couldn't have started better, but Teddy Sheringham got the home side right back in tit after half an hour from the penalty spot then Matthew Etherington made it two 5 minutes later. Rovers play improved after the break, but Zurab Khizanishvili scored an own goal to make it 3-1 before Lucas Neil scored a beauty on 65 (3-2). But as the lights started to go out around the ground, Rovers chances seemed to dim, and Bobby Zamora sealed things for West ham with their fourth on 72 minutes. The lights recovered, but Blackburn didn't and the season's return trip top Upton Park brought back bad memories of the first league game of the season. Mark Hughes told rovers.co.uk "We started well enough, the perfect start from our point of view, a goal after thirty seconds, so we think it is possibly going to be our day, but on reflection it probably galvanised West Ham and they responded well to going behind and got back into the game very quickly. I have to say, although we saw a lot of the play, defensively we weren't quite at the level that we usually are, and what we pride ourselves on and in the end that has cost us today." |
