    Spanish newspaper AS look ahead to Real Madrid's La Liga trip to Rayo Vallecano tonight, with Ballon D'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo needing just one more strike to reach 300 for Carlo Ancelotti's men.

    Interesting line in The Sun which says Manchester City owners will get rid of three key decision-makers from club. Manager Manuel Pellegrini, chief executive Ferran Soriano and director of football Txiki Begiristan are all facing the sack.

    Of course, the newspapers are leading with Christian Benteke's superb hat-trick, but there is a line in the Daily Star which says Manchester United are to offer £60m for Paris St-Germain striker Edinson Cavani. Worth it? Personally, I think the lad is a tad over-rated.

    So, after seeing Christian Benteke smash in a hat-trick for Aston Villa against QPR, a draw didn't really suit either side with both sides firmly in trouble at the wrong end of the Premier League table.

    But who do you think is going down? Can bottom side Leicester save themselves?

    Also, who is the best striker to have been relegated with a Premier League side? My vote goes for the "White Feather" Fabrizio Ravenelli who rippled the net 16 times for 'Boro in the 1996/97 season.

    As ever, the eccentric Tim Sherwood celebrated in typically emotional fashion, and felt his side deserved all the points.

    "We deserved to win the game, anyone who saw it knew we created all the chances, we should have been out of sight."

    Sherwood ripped his gilet off and threw it to the ground and he watched Christian Benteke equalise for his side.

    But was it a gilet, or was it a coat? Watch as the former Tottenham boss explains, external

    Hello and welcome to another edition of Sportsday, bringing you all the latest sports news straight from sunny Salford.

    But first, let's look back on a dramatic evening of Premier League action, as Aston Villa claimed a late point to stay out of the drop zone. If Villa had lost, QPR would have climbed out of the bottom three for the first time since February.

    "I'm disappointed if I'm being honest," said QPR boss Chris Ramsey. "But before the game if someone said we'd get four points from the last two games we probably would have taken that."

    QPR will have been thinking of three points as the match against Aston Villa entered the last 10 minutes, but saw victory cruelly snatched away after Christian Benteke's sublime free-kick shared the spoils.

    It would have been just their third Premier League win on the road, but instead, they remain in the relegation zone.
