  • Man Utd Destroys City with Owen's Injury Time Goal 10:15, September 21, 2009
    Man Utd destroys City with Owen's injury time goal 10:15, September 21, 2009 Manchester City showed a never-say-die attitude in their Sunday's derby by drawing level three times at Old Trafford, but Man United substitute Michael Owen wrecked their hope of snatching one point with a stunning goal in the stoppage time. Togo ace Emmanuel Adebayor's absence due to a three-match ban weakened City's attack, but Carlos Tevez was back to the pitch after resting for two weeks because of a knee injury. The Argentina striker was so aggressive in front of his ex-club that he stole the ball from a hesitating United keeper Ben Foster before assisting Gareth Barry to shot home in the 16th minutes. But it was only an equalizer as Wayne Rooney had put United ahead after two minutes. Being overlooked by United boss Sir Alex Ferguson in the previous two seasons, Tevez was thirsty for the derby after joining City this Summer. But he squandered his best chance of punishing United as he stroke the post in close range on the stroke of half-time, United managed to claimed an early lead again when Darren Fletcher nodded in Ryan Giggs's fine cross four minutes after the break, but Craig Bellamy fired home three minutes later to snuff United joy quickly. The defending champions then surged to attack ceaselessly, but Shay Given disappointed them by making two brilliant saves to Dimitar Berbatov's threatening headers and turned a powerful drive from Giggs over the top. It seemed that Ferguson was quite unsatisfied with the result and he replaced Belgarian Berbatov with Owen on 77 minutes.

  • India Vs South Africa Test: What Virat Kohli Must Answer
    3/20/2018 India vs South Africa Test: What Virat Kohli must answer India vs South Africa Test: What Virat Kohli must answer In the era of fake news, the fakest news may be that India is the best Test team in the world. SPORTS | Long-form | 12-01-2018 Print | Close RAHUL JAYARAM @rajayaram In the Newlands Test that ended on Monday (January 8), India were, despite their first innings batting collapse, in a good position to scare South Africa. In the second half of the Test, India’s bowlers get them back into a fighting position, and their vaunted batting line-up was to face a bowling line-up on testing conditions. Without Dale Steyn. India responded by invoking the history of Indian batting in overseas conditions: Triggering the psychic memory and muscle memory of collapse. Only a couple of batsmen showed the technique and temperament to face genuine pace bowling on a wicket where getting onto the front foot was far from easy. The familiarity of the Indian response must be a matter of disgrace for Indian cricket authorities, managers and the selection board. This tour was long scheduled and it wasn’t unimaginable to expect bouncy wickets. In the fourth innings, India did not even put a fight.
