Villa's Dunne hands QPR point
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 26 - 09 - 2011

1 home draw against Aston Villa in the Premier League Sunday with its first home goal of the season coming from Villa defender Richard Dunne who put through his own net in stoppage time.
Villa, which remains unbeaten after five draws and one win from its opening six matches, looked set for fifth place in the table as it led through a controversial second-half penalty from Scotland midfielder Barry Bannan.
Referee Michael Oliver ruled Armand Traore, who joined QPR from Arsenal last month, pulled Gabriel Agbonlahor's shirt in the 58th minute, though TV replays appeared to show the defender made minimal contact if any and no Villa player appealed for an infringement.
Traore's misery was completed after 90 minutes when he was sent off for a second bookable offense for a late lunge on Villa's Marc Albrighton.
That seemed to set the seal for Villa's victory but a minute later a QPR break ended with Villa defender Stephen Warnock deflecting Heidar Helguson's cross on to Dunne's knees and he could not stop the ball crossing his own line for his ninth Premier League own goal.
The result left Villa in eighth place and QPR ninth. The weekend program will be completed Monday when Norwich City hosts Sunderland. Manchester United tops the table on goal difference from Manchester City.
Werder Bremen, Cologne win
Claudio Pizarro scored in injury time to lift Werder Bremen to a 2-1 win over Hertha Berlin in a Bundesliga match Sunday that both teams finished with 10 men.
Pizarro also scored Bremen's first goal and the win kept Schaaf's team in second place, two points behind Bayern Munich. Earlier, Germany forward Lukas Podolski scored one goal and set up the other to lead Cologne 2-0 past Hoffenheim for its first home win of the season.
