Man Utd 1-0 QPRCarlos Tevez struck from the penalty spot in the 75th minute as Manchester United edged into the quarter finals of the Carling Cup following a dour match.The Argentine made no mistake from the spot after substitute Danny Welbeck had been felled by Peter Ramage, but it was far from a vintage United victory. Ji-Sung Park earlier hit a post but a much-changed United side failed to turn their utter dominance into chances. QPR defended throughout, though Samuel di Carmine had a late effort ruled out. The Italian forced home from close range but the official's flag was the right call - and an equaliser would have been some injustice given the visitors' reticence to attack throughout a frustrating encounter. For their part, United totally dominated possession but - with Wayne Rooney, Dimitar Berbatov and Cristiano Ronaldo rested - attacks constantly misfired. FULL TIME REPORT |
