SWANSEA, Wales -- Sergio Aguero scored twice on his return from suspension as Manchester City beat Swansea 3-1 to clinch a sixth straight win to open the English Premier League on Saturday. Garett Bolles Jersey .Raheem Sterling grabbed the other goal for City, whose only negative was the sight of playmaker Kevin De Bruyne limping off late on with an apparent hamstring injury.City has won its first 10 games of the season under new coach Pep Guardiola -- a club record -- and has a four-point lead after six rounds in the Premier League. Guardiola tied Carlo Ancelottis Chelsea record for six consecutive victories at the start of a league.Maybe it was our best performance with the ball, Guardiola said.Aguero, back in the team following a three-match domestic ban for elbowing an opponent, has netted 11 goals in six games this season, and he opened the scoring in the ninth minute, leaving marker Jordi Amat floundering with a brilliant first touch from Bacary Sagnas pass, and finishing clinically.Swansea equalized four minutes later when Gylfi Sigurdsson found Fernando Llorente, who sent a rasping half-volley high into Citys net.In an end-to-end match, both team created chances at will but City needed a contentious refereeing decision to retake the lead in the 65th.Michael van der Hoorn was adjudged to have challenged De Bruyne unfairly, and Aguero wrong-footed the goalkeeper with a cheeky penalty.Swansea piled forward in search of another equalizer and left itself open at the back. When Leon Britton lost possession, Sterling powered upfield and applied a neat finish in the 77th.Speculation is intensifying about Francesco Guidolins future as Swansea manager, with the team picking up four points from a possible 18.I have a good relationship with my players and they were fantastic this afternoon, Guidolin said. If the board have anything to say to me, it is easy -- they can just call me. If we continue to play this way we have a good future in front of us. Demarcus Walker Broncos Jersey .

Can we get a one-way ticket to (minor-league) Hamilton for David Desharnais please. RIO DE JANEIRO -- Ever since rugby was approved for the Olympic sports program in Rio, Fijians have believed their sevens team will win their first ever medal at the Summer Games.It just might not be the team they expected.The Fiji womens team, unsung and largely overshadowed by the world series champion mens team, produced the only upset on day one at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics to be on the verge of making the quarterfinals.Fijiana, as the team is known, upended the United States 12-7 in their opening game. And even though they were then smashed by gold medal-favorite Australia 36-0, they should beat winless Colombia on Sunday to secure a playoff spot.We wont talk too much about (a medal), but thats obviously deep inside and, if we can achieve that for Fiji, well be stoked, said forward Rebecca Tavo, a former Australia captain who switched to Fiji last year to help them qualify for Rio.Fijiana barely rated a mention before the Olympic tournament, understandable after fading to eighth place following a promising start to the womens world sevens series.But back home, they got fitter and better by combining their camp with the mens team, winner of the last two world series. Inspired and motivated by the men, the women changed their diet and training plans. Out went carbohydrates and fatty, local staples such as cassava and dalo, and in came lean meats and salads. Add that to running up and down the Sigatoka sand dunes, and you could see the girls bodies changed a lot, Tavo said.Having upgraded their fitness, they fine-tuned for the Olympics together with the mens squad again in Santiago, Chile, where many of the women touched snow for the first time, during a bus trip up the Andes.Our preparation was a dream, Tavo said.The Fijians turned their opening match into a nightmare for the Americans, who had won seven of their nine previous matchups. Watched by IOC president Thomas Bach, a guest of World Rugby chairman Bill Beaumont, and in balmy 33-degree (90 F) temperatures, Luisa Tisolo pulled off a show-and-go and Fiji led 7-0 at halftime.A turnover from a big tackle saw Timaima Ravisa sprint clear for 12-0. The U.S. cut the gap to five with four minutes to go, but Fijianas tackling was fierce, and one last hit by Lavenia Tinai snuffed out the American comeback. Demarcus Walker Womens Jersey. One of our hallmarks is our aggression, Tavo said. You can tell our girls, `Fijianas, have no fear.Chris Cracknell, the former England captain who became Fijis womens coach a year ago, saw good and bad in the game.They can emulate what the boys do, in their own right they can do some spectacular things, Cracknell said. Defensively, when were abrasive, we get ourselves into the game, but we let the U.S. back into it. We started chasing tackles because we were enjoying it so much.Their success will boost efforts in Fiji to attract more female players. Already, World Rugbys Get Into Rugby program, plus the Pacific in Union venture, a partnership between Oceania Rugby, the Australian Rugby Union and the Australian government, have drawn about 20,000 players each, but theres plenty of room for more growth, Fiji Rugby Union womens development officer Vela Naucukidi told the Fiji Sun.The FRU is also researching through the University of the South Pacific the barriers and motivations for women playing rugby in Fijis male-dominated society. They have already learned female rugby players are seen as smart, confident, and brave, but elders are worried about the safety and well-being of girls.Fijiana are trailblazers, FRU development manager Sale Sorovaki told the Fiji Sun. They started playing rugby when not many other women did, and they made their way to compete in the Olympics. We honor their effort and we want to make it much easier for the next group of women who are coming through.Thanks to qualifying for the Olympics last November, the Fiji womens squad became contracted in March to the FRU for the first time. Five of this team have been playing rugby for less than a year.Theyre pretty amazing, just the connection they have, U.S. forward Kathryn Johnson said. Theyre really wonderful girls as it is, on and off the field. Its fun just to be on the field with them.
