Harry Redknapp’s first match as Queens Park Rangers manager saw the Premier League basement club collect a point in a goalless draw away to Sunderland on Tuesday.

It was QPR's first point since they drew 1-1 with Reading on November 4 but the result meant the west London club, who last week sacked Mark Hughes as their manager, remained bottom of the table. But in the day’s other top-flight match Aston Villa moved out of the bottom three after Christian Benteke’s goal 10 minutes from time secured a 1-0 win at home to fellow strugglers Reading. Victory moved Villa two points clear of the relegation zone.
