LONDON -- Manchester City twice came from behind to draw 2-2 against Liverpool in the Premier League at Anfield on Sunday after Carlos Tevez scored a late equalizer. Cheap Jerseys . Martin Skrtel headed Liverpool into a 1-0 lead at halftime, but Yaya Toure levelled for City after goalkeeper Pepe Reina missed a cross and Martin Kelly failed to control the ball, allowing Toure to finish from close range in the 63rd minute. Liverpool took the lead again three minutes later thanks to Luis Suarezs free kick. Skrtel then underhit a back pass toward Reina that Carlos Tevez latched on to before rounding the goalkeeper and slotting into an empty net to save a point for his team in the 80th. City manager Roberto Mancini was frustrated at his side having conceded two goals in its opening two games of the season. "This is the time to finish conceding two goals every game," Mancini said. "But we have taken one point when we went down two times." Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers was happier with his teams display. "We were asked a lot of questions and I thought the players were incredible," he said. "Sometimes the best team doesnt win." At Britannia Stadium, Stoke and Arsenal played out a scoreless draw. France forward Olivier Giroud came closest to winning the game for Arsenal in the final minute of the match, receiving the ball 40 yards from goal and lobbing goalkeeper Asmir Begovic only for the ball to land on the roof of the net. Stoke had a goal ruled out from Jonathan Walters in the first half for offside. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes his side must improve its attack after failing to score in its first two games of the league season. "Offensively, we still have some work to do because we missed a bit of accuracy in the final third in our movement and in our passing," Wenger said. "We are used to finding each other in the final third and theres something missing, but I still think we should have won the game 1-0." Pulis was pleased with how Stoke performed and praised United States defender Geoff Cameron on his debut. Cameron looks set to be joined by U.S. midfielder Maurice Edu next week. "We watched Geoff quite a few times and hes a good player," Pulis said. "Hes been away in America for 10 days and only trained one day with us. We couldnt get him back as he had to get some clearance and we have to wait 10 days. Pulis said he may look to make further signings from the U.S. after being impressed with the quality of football there. "I was very impressed with the standard," Pulis said. "Hopefully that (Edu deal) will be completed by Monday. Hes another player whos playing for the national team and theres a market out there, I think." jerseys nfl cheap wholesale . Sinclair, Evans and Sean Duke all had to go through the IRB concussion protocol after blows to the head in an ill-tempered win over Tonga last weekend that resulted in three suspensions for the Pacific Islanders.

The Canadian catcher belted his career-best 20th home run of the season Friday as the New York Yankees continued their playoff push with a convincing win over Toronto. SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Demetrious Johnson had a little something to show anybody who still doubts the UFCs small guys can produce big knockouts. Johnson stopped Joseph Benavidez with a devastating right hand in the first round Saturday night, defending his UFC flyweight title and capping a dominant year for the 5-foot-3 champion known as Mighty Mouse. With his third win of the year, Johnson (19-2-1) remained the only champion in the history of the UFCs lightest mens division. But he did it in a fashion almost nobody expected, catching Benavidez (19-4) directly in the face with an unblocked punch and knocking the challenger senseless 2:08 into the fight. "A lot of people say I dont have knockout power, but Im always getting better," Johnson said. "I just let it go, and I was happy to get the finish." Local favourites Urijah Faber and Chad Mendes also won on a card stacked with mixed martial artists from Northern California, but Johnson -- from the Seattle area -- silenced Benavidezs hometown crowd by winning a rematch against a fighter who inspired him to get into the sport. Benavidez appeared to be out cold before he hit the canvas, and Johnson landed several additional punches before the referee stepped in. Johnson beat Benavidez by split decision in Toronto 15 months ago, claiming the UFCs first flyweight title in a tight matchup. Johnson defended his title twice earlier this year against John Dodson and John Moraga, but Benavidez earned his way back to a title shot with three straight victories this year, the last two by impressive stoppage. "If people want to see me as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, thats totally fine," Johnson said. "My job is to go back in the gym and keep working. It was a great year for me. Had a couple of great fights, and Im happy to come away with this knockout. ... It would be awesome to be the fighter of the year for 2013, but my goal is just to keep on getting better and win fights." Faber stopped Michael McDonald in the second round, knocking the younger bantamweight into the side of the cage with punches before finishing with a guillotine choke. Mendes fought off an illness to beat Nik Lentz by decision. Lightweight Joe Lauzon opened the televised card by beating Mac Danzig in a bloody unanimous decision. Faber (30-6) was fighting in his hometown for the first time in nine bouts since April 2010, and for the first time under the UFC bannner. wholesale nfl jerseys. He was a champion in the lighter-weight WEC promotion before it was absorbed by the UFC, and he appears to be rounding into championship form again in the 135-pound division. "People say Im old, but Im 34," Faber said. "Look at what people are doing in their 40s and 50s, and its amazing. The guys on my team prepared me so well for this fight that I never doubted I would get the victory." The Sacramento crowd roared throughout Fabers ring walk to his trademark song, 2Pacs "California Love," and they actively booed McDonald, whos from nearby Modesto. Faber took charge from the opening moments, controlling the fight on the ground and in standup. Faber caught McDonald with punches early in the second round and again midway through the round, knocking his stumbling opponent of the side of the cage with the force of his blows. Faber pounced on the prone McDonald and finished it with one of his trademark chokes, thrilling the crowd. "There is a real sense of community here in Sacramento," Faber said. "We have a lot to cheer about, and Im glad I get to play a role in that. Michael McDonald is a tremendous opponent and I really look forward to watching his career. Hes got so much potential, but tonight was my night." McDonald (16-3) has lost two of his last three bouts, also losing by submission in a title shot against Renan Barao in February. Mendes (16-1) won without much flair, controlling the first round and largely coasting through the final 10 minutes against Lentz (26-6-2). Mendes, who had stopped his last four opponents, said he had a sinus infection. "After the first round, my lungs felt heavy," Mendes said. "But I just had to power through it. I hit Lentz hard, about as hard as any guy I have ever fought. He kept bouncing back." Lauzon (23-10) won every round for just his second victory in his last five fights, leaving Danzig (22-12-1) with a bloody face and a badly damaged nose after his fourth loss in five bouts. Canadian lightweight Sam Stout won every round in an early decision over Cody McKenzie, who fought in plain white shorts with pockets -- and the price tags still attached until referee Herb Dean ripped them off. McKenzie forgot his shorts at his hotel and had to buy a new pair outside the arena. "Thats one of the weirdest things Ive ever seen, and its even weirder that we let it happen," White said. ' ' '
