Mark Hughes looks on as his former club wins against his current
Mark Hughes returned to the City of Manchester Stadium tonight and left with a loss on his record. The QPR manager stated after the match:
Manchester City started with a barrage, but simply couldn't break through the stubborn defense of QPR. Their first goal came courtesy of Dede, who shot the ball from an awkward angle, past Anton Ferdinand and Paddy Kenny, into the net. David Silva had sent in a corner but it had been cleared, and it was his second pass that Dede sent into the goal.
From then on, QPR simply crumbled and Manchester City simply attacked, though they could not put the ball into the net until the 68th minute, where a poor pass from Ferdinand was intercepted by Carlos Tevez who broke free of the defense to smash the ball home.
Gael Clichy, who had already gotten a first yellow card in the first half, then made a stupid tackle and was given his second booking, thus he was sent off. This did not deter City however, as just a minute later, Eden Hazard headed a clearance down to Tevez who simply passed it to Hazard at the halfway line, who skinned Max Ehmer, skipped past Ferdinand to score a goal from an extraordinary run.
QPR simply gave up from then, and the match ended in rather boring circumstances, as both sides just let the time run out, with little attacks and little defense.
Man of the match: Dede, with a fantastic goal and a great defense
Notable statistics:
QPR had no shots on target, while City had 10 of them.
Manchester City had only two yellow cards, both for Clichy.
