Steve Sidwell scored a stunning 50-yard goal as Brighton beat Bristol City 2-0 at Ashton Gate in the Sky Bet Championship on Saturday evening. Jamie Murphy doubled the lead with a deflected effort as Chris Hughtons men won their fourth game in a row and made it four matches without conceding in a clash which will be remembered for the audacious strike by Sidwell. The result keeps the Seagulls in second place, four points behind Newcastle - who beat Cardiff 2-1 earlier in the day to maintain their lead at the top - and also means they are unbeaten in their last 10 league games. It was a frantic opening five minutes to the game, with Tammy Abraham posing the most danger with his pace and movement and the on-loan Chelsea star played a wonderful reverse pass into the path of Lee Tomlin, but he was unable to make the most of it and blasted wide. Brightons Steve Sidwell scored from the halfway line to opening the scoring against Bristol City Brighton eventually settled into the game, but it was still the Robins controlling possession, former Middlesbrough star Gary ONeil dictating proceedings in the middle of the park.But, when Korey Smith lost the ball just near the halfway line, Sidwell produced a moment of magic to put Brighton into a 13th-minute lead after winning back possession, he looked up and hit a left-footed strike past a stranded Richard ODonnell, who was well of his line for his first goal since April.The 33-year-old, formerly of Reading, Chelsea and Aston Villa, then ran to the sidelines with his team-mates to celebrate by holding up the shirt of the absent Anthony Knockaert, who was grieving following the death of his father.Despite their bright start, Bristol City were rocked by that goal and failed to recover sufficiently and several minutes later found themselves two-down courtesy of a Murphy strike. Bristol City manager Lee Johnson was critical of the way his side performed The Scotland winger - who was causing all sorts of problems on the wing - cut in from the left and after feigning to shoot, eventually did and found the bottom corner via a deflection to give Brighton complete control.Knowing they needed to improve, Bristol City came out, determined to reduce the deficit and get back into the game, but Hordur Magnusson wasted an opportunity when he headed right into the arms of David Stockdale. Down the other end, Brighton were still hoping to increase their own advantage and Glenn Murray - who was leading the line well - turned superbly before finding Jiri Skalak, who could only hit a stinging drive to warm the palms of ODonnell.Veteran forward Aaron Wilbraham came on to offer some much needed support to Abraham and there was a moment of worry for Bristol City, when ONeil went down momentarily after taking a high boot to the jaw. Brighton manager Chris Hughton praised the dominant nature of his sides victory The introduction of Wilbraham was giving the Brighton defence something different to think about and he should have been awarded a penalty after he was clearly fouled by defender Shane Duffy, but the referee was not interested, despite the strikers protests.Substitute Tomer Hemed ignored the calls of his colleagues and blasted one final effort high into the stands, but it did not matter as Brighton left with the victory and Bristol City slipped out of the play-off places. Brighton vs A Villa November 18, 2016, 7:00pm Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass Following the match, Brighton boss Hughton told Sky Sports that Sidwells strike had settled his sides nerves.It was one of those strikes, where as soon as he hit it, I knew it was in. It was a difficult one for the goalkeeper because it was unexpected and it was with his left foot.A wonderful opener for us and as I said, any nerves we might have had, it calmed us down.

After going 24-0 in Japans Pacific League last season, Tanaka agreed this week to a $155 million, seven-year contract with New York. "The game is pitching," Jeter said Friday at the Yankees minor league complex. "If you have great pitching, you always have an opportunity to win. From everything Ive heard, hes going to be quite an addition to our team." Tanaka was 99-35 with a 2.30 ERA in seven seasons with the Rakuten Golden Eagles, striking out 1,238 in 1,315 innings. He joins a rotation that includes CC Sabathia, Hiroki Kuroda and Ivan Nova.

"Any time you have ownership thats willing to spend money and trying to do whatever they can to make the team better, it feels good for us as players." The 39-year-old Jeter finished his first week of on-field work, which included hitting off a tee in a batting cage and fielding grounders on the grass in front of the infield dirt. He said he feels good. After breaking an ankle during the 2012 playoffs, Jeter limited to 17 games last year when he was slowed by injuries to his right quadriceps and calf. He hit .190 (12 for 63) with one homer and seven RBIs. Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
