Guys, I promised you more sports last night but I was a little out of it. I owe you one so here you have it: Your Afternoon Sports Wrap-Up with Ivette Herrera :)

Lets start off with yesterday’s Liverpool and Fulham match. Noreen Khan, host of the Drive Show on the BBC Asian Network - M-F 10am-1pm EST - absolutely loves her Liverpool FC and she doesn’t hide it from her Khan-daan! But Liverpool wasn’t as lucky. The USMNT midfielder Clint Dempsey brought Liverpool’s eight game winning streak to an end. In the 72nd minute Liverpool’s Jay Spearing was given a red card for a hard tackle on Moussa Dembele. It wasn’t long after that Dempsey scores his 37th goal giving Fulham the victory. This “made him the most prolific American scorer in England’s top division, surpassing the record he shared with former Fulham striker Brian McBride” :) Way to go Dempsey!!!

Although the team is in thirteenth place in the EPL, Dempsey still has the drive to help his team pull off victories. Fulham has had rough stretch tying their last six games gaining them only six points. It’s tough to have that stretch in such a competitive league like the EPL.

I also want to bring to you attention another article on Dempsey so nicely written by Yahoo! Sports writer, Martin Rogers. If you’ve watched Dempsey play especially in last year’s World Cup and watched his growth in the EPL, this article captures Dempsey’s dedication to the sport and his work ethic wherever he is. http://sports.yahoo.com/soccer/news;_ylt=AooqB.v4LZ1t1gMHS.DpokYmw7YF?slug=ro-rogers_clint_dempsey_american_record_120511
