Devastating

Well, I got the score right - just the wrong way round. Heatbreakingly, we lose 2-1 in the last minute, having played for a large chunk of the second half with ten men after Chris Baird was sent off for a second bookable offence.

Unfortunately, I was unable to be at the match today so will have to wait until I can watch this evening's 'highlights' before passing my verdict. From what we know so far, it doesn't sound good. Despite going ahead in the sixth minute through Clint Dempsey, Knight scored an own goal (and was substituted soon afterwards with what appears to be a knee injury). We then lost Baird, Villa had what sounded like a perfectly good goal ruled offside, then they got the winner.

Absolutely devastating.
