Carling Cup: Manchester United 1-0 QPR

On a night when most of Sir Alex Ferguson's A-list footballers were watching from the stands, Carlos Tevez could be forgiven if he had mixed feelings about turning out in the Carling Cup, against strange opposition, in a typically Mancunian downpour, but the Argentinian can at least reflect on a decisive contribution, with the goal that sent Manchester United into the quarter-finals.It came from the penalty spot, 14 minutes from the end of an otherwise soporific match in which Queens Park Rangers seemed so intent on keeping out their opponents they seemed to forget that opposition teams are allowed to attack United, too...

Paul Jewell's side then made it 2-0 when Nathan Ellington scored his sixth goal of the season. 'After 18 minutes it was one-way traffic and I was wondering how many goals we were going to score,' said Jewell.

Premier League survival remains the number one objective for Tony Pulis but the Stoke manager might have to take the League Cup a touch more seriously in the next round after a brave Rotherham United side were overcome to secure a place in the quarter-finals for the first time in 30 years.Having once again used this stage to field fringe players, Pulis was able to enjoy a comfortable evening's work ahead of Saturday's trip to Old Trafford as Stoke dominated their League Two opponents on a night when Glenn Whelan and Danny Pugh supplied the goals...

Chelsea's chief executive, Peter Kenyon, said yesterday that this month's sweeping cuts to the club's international scouting system were made because English clubs will need to develop more of their own players in coming years.In an apparent contradiction of the Premier League's position - which rejects Uefa's home-grown rule and the Fifa president Sepp Blatter's proposal for a 6+5 split of local and overseas players in domestic teams - Kenyon said Chelsea accept that those initiatives put the onus on clubs to develop young English talent...

Football: Ownership limbo could cost us Michael Owen, warns Nick Butt

Continued uncertainty surrounding the future ownership of Newcastle United has prompted Nicky Butt to warn that the current state of limbo could end up costing the club players of the calibre of Michael Owen, whose contract expires at the end of the season.Narrow defeat by Fulham on Sunday left Newcastle in the relegation zone, albeit only two points off 10th place. But although Joe Kinnear, the interim manager, has overseen an upturn in results in recent weeks, the effects of the credit crunch have taken their toll, with the owner, Mike Ashley, unable to find a buyer willing to match his £280m valuation...

Football: Elano breaks ranks to criticise Man City boss Hughes

Mark Hughes's problems at Manchester City were exacerbated today by the first open show of dissent from within his dressing room as Elano Blumer reacted to losing his place in the team by going public with his grievances.Elano has been a substitute for the last two games but his differences with Hughes go beyond team selection and there is a strong possibility the Brazilian will be moved on in the January transfer window. While his form has generally been good, Hughes has increasing misgivings about the player's attitude and after one win in the last seven league games, a slump that has left City a point above the relegation zone, the manager will take a dim view of being publicly questioned by a player who, until a week ago, had virtually been an ever-present in the side...

Cricket: Andrew Flintoff no longer left dizzy by spin thanks to Andy Flower

Nobody has batted better in India than Andy Flower. His involvement admittedly was limited, five Tests spanning nine years. But he averaged 117 and in one glorious week eight years ago he followed an unbeaten 183 in Delhi with 232 not out in Nagpur, to confirm himself as one of the finest players of spin in the modern era.There was no Anil Kumble or Harbhajan Singh against Zimbabwe in that series, but Indian Test spinners on turning Indian pitches can never be lightly dismissed. Such personal success might tempt Flower, as England's batting coach, to be prescriptive about the way to succeed on the subcontinent...
