City dispatches Liverpool
Soccer Betting Lines
08/23/2010 -
Manchester, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Carlos Tevez scored two second-half
goals as Manchester City recorded a comfortable 3-0 win over Liverpool at
Eastlands on Monday.
Gareth Barry put City in front in the 13th minute, and Tevez added a second
goal in the 52nd minute before he converted a penalty kick 15 minutes later to
put the result out of reach.
City's Adam Johnson was one of the best players on the field on Monday, and he
came close to giving the hosts the lead in the eighth minute with a left-
footed shot that whistled past the post.
Johnson was involved again five minutes later as he slipped a pass into the
penalty area for James Milner on the right. The former Aston Villa man then
pulled the ball back to Barry near the penalty spot and he redirected it
first-time inside the left post.
The lead was doubled in the 52nd minute from a corner kick as Micah Richards
headed the ball toward the net, and Tevez got just enough of it to deflect it
through the legs of goalkeeper Pepe Reina.
Liverpool tried to cut the deficit in half in the 57th minute, but Steven
Gerrard hit the post and both David Ngog and Fernando Torres had rebound
attempts saved by City goalkeeper Joe Hart.
All three points were then secured 10 minutes later as Johnson was tripped
inside the area by Liverpool's Martin Skrtel, allowing Tevez to send Reina the
wrong way from the penalty spot.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds
Will he or won't he? Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.
Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.
"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."
Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.
Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.
But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.
Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
