What they Said

Brighton & Hove Albion.png

โ€œI felt we had enough chances to win this game. When the match is in the balance and you donโ€™t take your chances thereโ€™s always a chance you might concede and we did.

โ€œWe were beaten in the game but if we had been played off the park it would have been a different issue.

โ€œItโ€™s naturally disappointing to go out of the competition and not to be in the hat for the next round is really frustrating.โ€

Martin O'Neill.


"It's desperately disappointing.

โ€It's a competition we wanted to win and before they scored we should have been out of sight. We treated the competition with the respect it deserves and we got beaten but it wasn't because we fielded a weakened side. It was just because we couldn't put the ball in the back of the net. It's hugely disappointing but, unlike last year when I felt we didn't do enough against Leicester, tonight we created the chances."

Martin Oโ€™Neill.

*Championship side QPR dumped Aston Villa out of the Carling Cup thanks to Damion Stewartโ€™s second-half header.*

Daniel Parejo - on loan from Real Madrid - floated the ball in on 58 minutes, leaving Stewart to nod in.

Gareth Barry was given captain duties and despite the efforts of Ashley Young, Villa struggled to dominate.

Gabriel Agbonlahor and Wayne Routledge were sent on with 23 minutes left, but QPR held on for a famous victory and a place in the fourth round.

Following their win over West Brom at the weekend, Villa boss Martin Oโ€™Neill rested six of his players and although they had plenty of possession, rarely threatened in front of goal.

Carlos Cuellar was handed a first home start alongside Zat Knight in the home sideโ€™s reshuffled defence, while keeper Brad Guzan made his debut.

Villa had the first chance of the game on 10 minutes, with Barry, captaining for the first time since the collapse of the proposed move to Liverpool, and Nicky Shorey providing a chance to Stiliyan Petrov.

The Bulgarian refused to shoot and rolled the ball to Marlon Harewood who curled his effort wastefully over the bar.

Young continued to be a nuisance to the QPR defence, but it was the visitors who took a surprise lead.

The winner was a result of a disputed corner. Parejo eventually crossed the ball back into the box to find the head of Stewart who nodded comfortably past Guzan.

Barry had an excellent chance to equalise with 15 minutes remaining after good work from John Carew, but the England midfielder could only chip wide of the target.

*Aston Villa boss Martin Oโ€™Neill:*

โ€œI felt we had enough chances to win this game. When the match is in the balance and you donโ€™t take your chances thereโ€™s always a chance you might concede and we did.

โ€œWe were beaten in the game but if we had been played off the park it would have been a different issue.

โ€œItโ€™s naturally disappointing to go out of the competition and not to be in the hat for the next round is really frustrating.โ€
