Blackburn thump West Ham
LONDON, Oct 14: Blackburn Rovers crushed 10-man West Ham United 7-1 on Sunday as the London side’s Czech defender Thomas Repka was sent off for the second time in three matches.
West Ham, one from bottom of the English premier league, have conceded 12 goals in two away games after going down 5-0 at Everton in their previous match. It was their worst defeat since losing 7-1 at Manchester United in April last year.
Seven different players scored for Blackburn, who climbed to eighth in the table, six points behind leaders Leeds United, who drew 1-1 at Liverpool on Saturday.
MILAN: Marcelo Salas missed a late penalty as Juventus let a three-goal lead slip to draw 3-3 against Torino in a dramatic Turin derby Sunday.
Juve were 3-0 up at the break thanks to two goals from Alessandro Del Piero and a strike from Croat Igor Tudor but then struggling Torino mounted a magnificent comeback.
Goals from Cristiano Lucarelli, Marco Ferrante and then, eight minutes from time, Riccardo Maspero pulled Torino level.
