Liverpool dump listless Chelsea out of League Cup

Liverpool dump listless Chelsea out of League Cup

 

London: Distraught by the death of a former international teammate, Craig Bellamy was too upset to play for Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday. Two days later, however, the Wales striker was back in action and inspiring the team to a 2-0 victory over Chelsea in the League Cup quarter-finals - the first part of a northwest double over London sides in England's second-ranked club competition on Tuesday. Liverpool went through to the semi-finals thanks to goals from Maxi Rodriguez and Martin Kelly at Stamford Bridge. In the other all-Premier League match-up, Argentina striker Sergio Aguero came off the bench to score an 83rd-minute winner in Manchester City's 1-0 victory over Arsenal at Emirates Stadium. Second-tier Cardiff beat Blackburn 2-0 in the other Carling Cup quarter-final.
All three matches were preceded by a minute's applause in honor of Wales manager Gary Speed, who was found by his wife hanged at his home early on Sunday morning.
Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish had hinted before the game that fans would be wasting their time turning up, and made seven changes from the draw with Manchester City, with Andy Carroll replacing Luis Suarez up front.
Andre Villas-Boas also made significant changes to his team, nine in total. Fernando Torres started against his former club alongside Romelu Lukaku, with only David Luiz was retained from the defensive unit that had shut out Wolves on Saturday.
Bellamy, who played alongside Speed in the national team, was particularly distressed by the news and was omitted from the Liverpool team that drew 1-1 against City hours later.
Bellamy made his return against Chelsea, holding back the tears prior to kick-off before going on to play an instrumental role in Liverpool's dismantling of the hosts, who slipped to a fifth defeat in their last nine matches in all competitions to pile the pressure on manager Villas-Boas.
Bellamy set up Maxi Rodriguez for the opening goal in the 58th minute and whipped in a superb free kick five minutes later that was nodded in by Martin Kelly.
"Speedo was regarded as his mentor," Liverpool manager Dalglish said of Bellamy. "To come back and play like that speaks volumes."
Chelsea were unfortunate to lose 2-1 to Liverpool in the league on November 20 but were outclassed 10 days later, even though Liverpool were playing just 48 hours after a grueling match against City.
"It's a pity for us," Villas-Boas said. "We had a good chance to progress at home but Liverpool were far superior."
Chelsea dominated the early possession as they looked to build pressure on the Reds' defence and threatened as early as the third minute. David Luiz set off on a typically buccaneering run which took him into the Liverpool penalty area, Sebastian Coates stuck out a leg to challenge Luiz and brought the Brazilian down without taking the ball, but referee Phil Dowd booked the Chelsea man for simulation as he seemed to already be on his way to the ground before contact was made.
Liverpool were looking to utilise Carroll's height through long balls and crosses and the former Newcastle man had a chance to give the Reds the lead but snatched an effort wide after Chelsea failed to clear Johan Henderson's corner.
Carroll wasted a glorious chance to put Liverpool ahead, blasting a 22nd-minute penalty straight at Chelsea goalkeeper Ross Turnbull after Alex was penalized for handling the ball in his own box. Phil Dowd's decision was not immediate but was ultimately correct. Liverpool have now missed three out of four penalties this season.
The game then settled again to a familiar pattern of Chelsea methodically looking to play through Liverpool and Kenny Dalglish's men using a higher tempo to counter-attack, Martin Kelly and Jose Enrique were pushing forward well from full-back and the Spaniard's cross shot was inches from finding Carroll.
Josh McEachran had looked tidy on the ball through the first period but was substituted after forty minutes due to an injury.
Chelsea ended the half well, Lukaku glanced a header wide following a good run and cross from Jose Bosingwa, but neither side had been able to strike a decisive blow and the teams went in at half-time with the game scoreless.
Chelsea then came closest to breaking the deadlock, Coates picked up a booking after checking Torres' run and from Frank Lampard's free-kick Malouda touched the ball onto the crossbar and Luiz's follow-up header was nudged away on the goal-line for a corner.
Rodriguez made no mistake from close range just before the hour, though, tapping home at the far post after running onto an inch-perfect cross by Bellamy, who had broken the offside trap on the right wing. It was Rodriguez's second goal at Stamford Bridge in nine days.
England under-21 defender Kelly then wrapped up a deserved win for the Reds, the record seven-time winners of the competition.
Chelsea instantly responded, sending Juan Mata and Nicolas Anelka on for Florent Malouda and Lukaku. Meanwhile, Liverpool brought on Dirk Kuyt for Bellamy with ten minutes of normal time remaining, the Welshman being given a well-earned standing ovation after a dynamic performance with another vocal tribute to Gary Speed being paid on Bellamy's withdrawal.
Carroll's clumsy challenge gave Alex an opportunity with a 30-yard free-kick, but his effort was skewed badly wide as time looked to be running out for Chelsea.
And indeed the Blues failed to create a meaningful effort on goal as Kenny Dalglish extended his unbeaten run against Chelsea as Liverpool manager.
"I don't know if we took Chelsea apart but we were delighted with the way we played," Dalglish said. "We've had a good day and we deserved to go through."
Chelsea's defeat - their third in a 10-day span in three different competitions - will be another tough pill to swallow for Villas-Boas, who had to deal with chants from Liverpool's vocal fans of "You're getting sacked in the morning" in the second half.
With the Blues 10 points off the lead in the Premier League and facing possible elimination from the Champions League, their best chance of silverware may have been the League Cup.
They were poor throughout, with their midfield totally dominated and striker Torres - a 50 million Pounds signing from Liverpool in January - anonymous.
"We need to get our fans behind us and get the emotions right. You can feel Stamford Bridge has become anxious," Villas-Boas said. "We need atmosphere to get us past this period."

Spain regain top amid significant movement

Spain regain top amid significant movement

 

After just one month, the Netherlands (2nd, down 1) had to relinquish first place to Spain (1st, up 1) on the September edition of the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking.


With England having taken a tumble (8th, down 4), Germany (3rd, unchanged) now sit directly aboveUruguay (4th, up 1), who occupy their highest-ever position on the global ladder. Other movers towards the summit were Portugal (5th, up 3), Italy (6th, up 1) and Brazil (7th, down 1).
Elsewhere in the top 50, Switzerland (18th, up 12), Bosnia-Herzegovina (22nd, up 17), Hungary (27th, up 18) and Armenia (44th, up 27) all made good progress.

Outside the top 50, meanwhile, no fewer than six teams leaped more than 20 places: Estonia (58th, up 28), Sierra Leone (68th, up 24), Wales (90th, up 27), Togo (95th, up 26), Namibia (119th, up 24) and Nicaragua (155th, up 24). In addition, Papua New Guinea re-entered the Ranking in 187th place.
By and large, the highest climbers of the month won one or more of their FIFA World Cup™ or continental qualifying matches. As a result of the major shake-up, several teams are now in their best-ever positions since introduction of the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking, namely Uruguay (4th, up 1), Bosnia-Herzegovina (22nd, up 17), Hungary (27th, up 18), Armenia (44th, up 27), Estonia (58th, up 28) and Belize (133rd, up 15).  
The high level of movement in this latest edition is the result of 170 'A' international matches, of which 109 were FIFA World Cup or continental qualifiers and 61 were friendlies.

Sparkling Bravo puts Windies on top

Sparkling Bravo puts Windies on top

Darren Bravo hit his third century in four matches as the West Indies compiled a formidable total of 575 for nine on day two of the third Test against India.


Heading into the final game of the series 2-0 down, the tourists put up a laudable fight with the bat, with each of the top six scoring half-centuries for the only the fifth time in Test history.
Bravo was the headline act of the innings, making a classy 166 in 284 balls.
After two wickets in as many sessions left the Windies 494 for four at tea, debutant Varun Aaron and spinner Ravichandran Ashwin finally started wickets tumbling in the evening, the latter closing with figures of four for 154.
Bravo was 57no overnight and looked intent to cash in fully on helpful conditions as he reached his second century of the series after also reaching three figures in the second innings in Kolkata last week.
The 22-year-old played with the elegant assurance that has marked him as one of the most promising West Indies batsman of recent times.
Bravo reached his latest century from 156 balls and it was fitting he did so with a trademark cover drive to the ropes.
He had earlier combined in a 164-run stand with Kirk Edwards (86) before Ishant Sharma claimed the first breakthrough of the day from a faint edge.
Edwards, who himself looked set for a third century in just his sixth Test, got a faint edge that wicketkeeper MS Dhoni easily held.
Kieran Powell wasted no time in picking up the baton and had 38no to his name at lunch, with Bravo 105no.
Dhoni had cause to resort to the lesser used spin of Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar to vary his attack but they offered too many loose deliveries and both batsmen put them away with ease.
India, with slow bowlers at both ends, were racing through their overs but could not constrict the scoring as Bravo and Powell relentlessly worked the ball on both sides of the wicket to keep the board ticking.
Powell's half-century came with a dabbed single off Ashwin, meaning all the top five had reached the landmark.
The left-hander looked set fair for a maiden Test century but fell for 81 when he nicked Pragyan Ojha behind, Dhoni clinging on to a sharp catch.
At tea Bravo had moved smoothly to 156, with Marlon Samuel in support on 18no.
Bravo's innings, which contained 17 boundaries, ended in the 167th over when he gave Aaron his maiden Test wicket with an edge to Dhoni.
Carlton Baugh (four) soon handed the seamer a second and he completed a fine spell when he added the scalp of skipper Darren Sammy (three) with another edge.
With the total well above 500, those wickets were as much down to West Indian aggression as Indian bowling and Samuels was scoring quickly at the other end.
He became the last of the top six to make his fifty during an Aaron over that was milked for 17 runs, but lost partner Ravi Rampaul for 10 off the first ball of Ashwin's next.
Samuels was Ashwin's fourth victim, going for 61, but last-wicket pair Fidel Edwards and Devendra Bishoo ensured the innings lasted until the end of the day's play, mustering another nine runs between them.

West Indies batsmen continue to make merry

West Indies batsmen continue to make merry

Lunch West Indies 378 for 3 (Bravo 105*, Powell 38*) v India

 

Darren Bravo made his third century in four Tests as West Indies' young batting line-up continued to make light of the loss of their most experienced batsmen to hurt India on the second morning at the Wankhede Stadium. Ishant Sharma gave India their lone success by removing Kirk Edwards, but the new batsman Kieron Powell kept the runs coming with an array of drives down the ground.
The first session of the second day was the most productive yet for West Indies, yielding 111 runs as their batsmen went for their shots. The tone was set by Bravo, who caressed the first two deliveries of the session between the bowler and mid-off for four.

 

Windies batsmen grind India

Windies batsmen grind India


West Indies showed some belated resistance as their opening batsmen made a solid start to the the third and final Test against India in Mumbai.
The hosts had already wrapped up a series victory after beating their opponents by five wickets in the the opening match and by an innings and 15 runs in the second.
The tourists, looking to avoid a series whitewash, saw Adrian Barath (62) and Kraigg Brathwaite (68) build a century partnership on a placid-looking wicket before both departed to Ravichandran Ashwin to leave them 161 for two at tea.
Windies skipper Darren Sammy won the toss and elected to bat, meaning Sachin Tendulkar's bid for a 100th international century on his home ground would have to wait at least another day.
India selected promising fast bowler Varun Aaron to make his Test debut and, while his pace troubled the tourists early, he found little movement to grab the breakthrough.
After weathering the early pace attack Barath and Brathwaite went about their work with little concern to give West Indies reasons for optimism.
India turned to Ashwin and Ishant Sharma in the second session but they too toiled.
Aaron continued to look impressive without seriously threatening to make the breakthrough but they finally made headway before tea.
It was Ashwin who made Barath pay for a lapse in concentration as he was caught in two minds and got an inside edge onto his pad and up for captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni to take the catch.
Brathwaite followed soon after and again Ashwin was the man to do the damage, as the batsman apparently edged onto his pad and Virat Kohli gleefully made the catch to leave the tourists on 150 for two.

Shocking: Kabaddi World Cup champions go home by auto rickshaw


Ludhiana: Hours after they won the World Cup with a thumping victory over England, Indian women Kabaddi players were seen on the streets waiting for auto rickshaw to reach home. The players who made the country proud on Sunday were badly treated by their team management. The players were not provided conveyance to reach their home.
Moreover, the game officials didn’t even pay the hotel bills on time leading to the embarrassment of the players. While checking out, the players were stopped by the hotel staff for non payment of their food bills.
The arrangements for the stay of players were made in Park Plaza hotel. According to the hotel officials, food bill worth Rs 22,000 was due on the players which the game officials hadn’t paid. The players were made to wait at the hotel reception for two hours and were allowed to check out only after their bills were paid.
Punjab Sports Director Pargat Singh said the arrangements for the kabaddi players were made by the organising committee. “We fulfilled all the demands made by the team management. If the players faced an inconvenient it’s the responsibility of the team management,” said Singh.
After checking out, the players, with prize in their hand, were seen standing on the streets waiting for public transport. Most of them went their home walking.   
Players told that they had to spend the entire week in one pair of clothes as their luggage got burnt in the bus accident ahead of the semi0final clash. The team management didn’t arrange for fresh pair of clothes for the players.



Tendulkar plays down hype around 100th ton

Sachin Tendulkar has played down the hype surrounding his much-awaited 100th international century, saying it is "just a number". Tendulkar was unable to reach the landmark during the Test series in England and missed out in the first two Tests of the ongoing series against West Indies. He has another opportunity this series, at his home ground, the Wakhede Stadium, the venue for the third Test starting November 22.
"I feel it is just a number," Tendulkar told Mid-Day "I am not thinking about it. I am thinking about playing good cricket. I am enjoying my game.
"When I got my 90th international century, nobody said anything. Even before my 99th century, nobody said anything. So why now? I don't understand.
"I know everyone is talking and thinking about my 100th century. I want to be relaxed and let cricket decide its own course. I am not rushing into anything, just concentrating on my normal game."
Tendulkar reached his 99th century against South Africa during the World Cup earlier in the year. He's had three half-centuries since, and the closest he's got to scoring a century was when he made 91 at The Oval against England in the final Test of that tour. He recently completed 22 years in international cricket; he made his international debut on November 15, 1989, against Pakistan in Karachi.
"It's a wonderful feeling," he said. "It gives me immense pleasure and terrific satisfaction that I've been able to serve my country for such a long time."

Australia restricted to 30-run lead after collapse

Australia restricted to 30-run lead after collapse

Australia 296 (Hughes 88, Watson 88, Steyn 4-64) lead South Africa 266 by 30 runs

 

Championed by the indomitable Dale Steyn, South Africa rumbled back into contention with a flurry of wickets to ensure Australia undid a dominant morning with a desperately poor afternoon. Having blazed to 169 for 0 at lunch, Australia slid to 296 all out after tea, a lead of 30 counterbalanced by the fact that a deteriorating pitch will make the fourth innings difficult. Graeme Smith survived four balls before bad light ended play.
South Africa, as strong sides tend to do, redoubled their efforts after a poor start to the day, and as in Cape Town, where they were razed for 47 in the second innings, Australia were unable to lift themselves accordingly. The hosts' resurgence was epitomised by Dale Steyn, who compensated for a dip in pace by swerving the older ball deviously, and Imran Tahir, innocuous against Watson and Hughes but mightily effective against a supine lower order.
Phillip Hughes and Shane Watson can be proud of a stand of 174, but at least one had to go on to a match-shaping score. Ricky Ponting's exit, lbw again, will seriously threaten his place in the team, as will another inconsequential score for Brad Haddin.
In the first session, which started early due to the bad light that truncated day one, Hughes and Watson confronted a handful of difficult early deliveries with the new ball, but there was no more movement off the pitch than might be expected on any Test match morning, and little through the air.
Steyn appeared to be down on speed after his Cape Town exertions, and it was Philander and Morkel who posed greater questions. Hughes was into the 30s by the time the hosts manufactured a chance, the batsman flicking off his hip to short leg, where Hashim Amla spilled a difficult catch. 
Hughes should have been out on 38, squeezing an inside edge onto his pad and through to Mark Boucher from the bowling of Jacques Kallis. But the South African appeal was unconvincing, and no referral was called for. When it was, for a Watson lbw appeal by Tahir, an equally thick inside edge was detected.
Aside from this helping of luck, and Watson's risky penchant for driving in the air through the offside, Australia's batting demonstrated tremendous power, aggression and resolve. Watson was a little slower between the wickets than usual due to his hamstring injury but never lax in his foot movement, while Hughes began to look like the buccaneering opener who had plundered a century in each innings against South Africa in Durban in 2009.
Both batsmen saved perhaps their best strokes for passing the half-century mark. Hughes rolled his wrists over a precise cut shot and Watson punched off the back foot through cover with the sort of impudence Steyn is not used to facing.
By the interval Tahir had been warned for running on the pitch, and the hosts were doubly ruing their wasteful strokes on the first afternoon.
South Africa returned more focused from the lunch break, and set about tying down Watson and Hughes. Results did not take too long: Hughes cut at a ball too close to him and presented a catch to the slips for the third time in as many innings this series.
As he has often done on the outskirts of a century, Watson was becalmed, and ultimately chose the wrong ball to pull, swinging Kallis to deep midwicket where Tahir held a vital low catch. Usman Khawaja handled his first few deliveries with care and attention redolent of the man he has replaced in the side, the injured Shaun Marsh, but Ponting would not be joining him for long.
Steyn's first ball to Ponting was precise, seaming back enough to strike the pads in line with the stumps. Steyn was exultant, and a disconsolate Ponting did not even bother to refer the decision. It was his 27th innings without a Test century.
Clarke was struck amidships early in his innings, drawing a combination of cheers and sympathetic groans when the replay was shown on the Wanderers' big screen, and would still have been sore when he failed to ride Morkel's bounce with a flashy forcing stroke and edged to first slip.
Michael Hussey and Khawaja fought out the session, but they had not long returned when Steyn began curling the ball back into them. Khawaja was pinned in front of middle and wasted a DRS referral, then Hussey went back when he might have come forward and had his stumps splayed.
Haddin made sure not to be out in the X-rated manner of the second innings at Newlands, but misjudged Tahir's turn to be lbw for 16, and Peter Siddle might have been the first man ever to receive a googly, so badly did he misread it.
Pat Cummins hung around long enough to take the tourists into the lead, but Steyn's return brought more swing and an edge that was claimed neatly by Mark Boucher, diving in front of first slip. Johnson hit out ably for 38, but the fact he was the next highest score after the openers when Nathan Lyon was lbw to another Tahir googly said rather too much about Australia's batting.

Poyet hits out at 'crybaby' Evra

Poyet hits out at 'crybaby' Evra

 

Gus Poyet has defended Luis Suarez over allegations he racially abused Patrice Evra, accusing the Manchester United defender of "crying like a baby"

 

Liverpool striker Suarez was charged by the Football Association earlier this week after Evra told French television station Canal Plus that the Uruguayan had used a racist insult to him "at least 10 times" during last month's 1-1 draw at Anfield.

The Merseyside club say their player will deny the charge at a personal hearing and they remain "fully supportive" of him.
And Suarez's compatriot Poyet, now manager of Brighton, is also firmly in the Suarez camp.
Quoted in several newspapers, the former Chelsea and Tottenham midfielder said: "I played for seven years in Spain and was called everything because I was from South America.
"And I never went out crying like a baby, like Patrice Evra, saying that someone said something to me.
"I believe Suarez. It's simple. I am surprised in a really sad way that he has been charged.
"I think it is worse to charge someone because you trust one person when you have no proof."
He added: "I am sad because it is going to become too easy. I can make a complaint about an opposition manager and if I take it as far as I can he will be charged.

Match notes
  • Sri Lanka's 1st ever World Cup semi final.
  • RS Mahanama retired hurt at 182/5 (37.2 overs) (leg injury)
  • At the fall of the 8th Indian wicket, sections of the crowd vented their disgust with the state of the match by setting fire to some areas of the stands and throwing fruit and waterbottles onto the field. The match was briefly stopped and when play was about to resume, the crowd again threw bottles at the deep fielders. The match referee stopped the game and the game was awarded to Sri Lanka by default.
  • 4th win for the team batting first from 5 matches under lights at Eden Gardens.
  • Sri Lanka qualify for their 1st ever World Cup final.
