No happy return for Houllier
LIVERPOOL ensured there would be no happy return for former manager Gerard Houllier as they beat the Frenchman's Aston Villa side 3-0 in the Premier League here on Monday.
Two goals in the space of three first-half minutes from David Ngog and Ryan Babel all but settled the match in Liverpool's favour before Maxi Rodriguez added a third 10 minutes into the second half.
Victory saw Liverpool move up into eighth place in the table. For Villa, defeat meant the Midlands club remained just two points above the relegation zone.Newcastle sack manager Hughton
Newcastle United have sacked manager Chris Hughton, the English Premier League club announced on their website on Monday.
The north-east side made the announcement a day after Newcastle's 3-1 defeat by West Bromwich Albion, a result that left United 11th in the table.
Newcastle are now only four points above the relegation zone and have not won in their last five games.
