BIRMINGHAM, England -- Diego Lugano scored his first goal for West Bromwich
Albion to rescue a 1-1 draw against Everton on Monday in new manager Pepe Mels
first Premier League game in charge.
Manuel Neuer Jersey . The Uruguay
internationals 75th-minute header prevented a misfiring Everton side to go back
into the top four after Kevin Mirallas had given the visitors a first-half lead.
Everton had a goal correctly disallowed for offside with the last kick of the
game, leaving the team in sixth place, a point behind Liverpool and Tottenham.
"I think it was a fair result in the end," Everton midfielder Gareth Barry said.
Mel replaced Steve Clarke, who was fired last month, having been sacked by Real
Betis himself. He said he still needed time to make the team play the way he
wants, but was pleased with the performance. "First half, we were too open. But
(in the) second half we were compact," Mel said. Mel started striker Nicolas
Anelka after its shirt sponsor announced it would not be renewing its deal
because of the controversy surrounding the Frenchmans "quenelle" gesture at West
Ham last month, which has been branded anti-Semitic by some observers. Anelka
has promised to not to repeat the gesture and denied he was being anti-Semitic
or racist by celebrating in such a way, claiming he did it in support of
controversial anti-establishment comedian Dieudonne MBala MBala. He could face a
five-match ban if he is charged by The Football Association and found guilty.
Anelka began this game energized and motivated, but didnt have a large impact
and was substituted just after West Broms equalizer. Mirallas put his team ahead
after Romelu Lukaku -- who spent last season on loan at West Brom -- headed down
a long pass into the Belgians path and he slotted a low shot into the net. The
hosts ramped up the pressure in the second half, and Lugano met a cross from
James Morrison to thump a powerful header past Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard.
Sylvain Distin thought he had won it for Everton with the last kick of the game
when he diverted Barrys shot into the net, but he was clearly offside.
Mitchell Weiser Bayern Munich Jersey . Canada
is now down to its 22-player limit, although but players wont be registered
until Christmas Day. Changes could still be made as a result of a suspension or
injury.
Claudio Pizarro Jersey . Mickelson barely
made the cut but had the best round of the day with nine birdies and an eagle
coupled with two bogeys to sit two shots behind leader Craig Lee of Scotland.
Lee shot a 69 for a 12-under 204 total. "I just love the fact I am in contention
and have an opportunity in my first tournament of the year here in Abu Dhabi,"
Mickelson said.

. Carey Price didnt, but he still came out on top against one of his rivals for
the No. 1 job at the Sochi Games. The Anahim Lake, B.C., native was stellar in
making 39 saves in his home province and Lars Eller got credit for a bizarre
short-handed winner as the Canadiens defeated the Canucks 4-1.HOMESTEAD, Fla. --
With tears in eyes and three fingers in the air, Richard Childress hardly had
words to describe his latest NASCAR championship. His grandson, Austin Dillon,
won the Nationwide Series title in the famed No. 3 and by three points. "Hard to
believe," Childress said. "I couldnt be more proud of Austin. He drives with his
heart every lap. What can you say? Hes just a great competitor, a great
grandson. Im proud, really proud of him. He ran good and hard tonight." Sprint
Cup regular Brad Keselowski won the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway on
Saturday, moving up 10 spots in the closing few laps to give an otherwise
typical race a wild and wacky finish. But the night belonged to Dillon, who
overcame a sluggish start and a scrape against the wall to finish 12th. It was
good enough to hold off Sam Hornish Jr. by three points. Hornish crossed the
line eighth. "It was ugly," said Dillon, who won the Truck Series title in 2011.
"Probably the worst car we had all year. But we fought. My guys kept me positive
in the car." Hornish looked as if he would overcome an eight-point deficit in
the standings for much of the 200-lap race, but a lengthy caution late posed
problems. NASCAR slowed the race for 12 laps -- tied for the longest caution of
the year -- and it turned out to be a setback for Hornish. He dropped from third
to ninth on the final restart with five laps to go, ending his chances at
getting a title in what was his final race for Penske Racing. "I felt very sorry
for Sam," Penske said. "And I have to say Ive never seen a race that was so
important give away 15 or 16 laps before you have five laps to go. To me, that
is very disappointing from the standpoint of the fans and (us) as competitors.
When I think about it, it could have gone either way." NASCAR defended its
decision to keep the race under caution. "When youre in situations like that,
the most important thing is getting the track race ready," said Robin Pemberton,
NASCARs vice-president of competition. "You know, you can look at, you can use
your hindsight every chance that you want to, but in this particular time, we
did the best we could to do, and it was more important to get the track ready."
Keselowski got new tires during the final caution and used them to weave his way
through traffic. He went from 11th to first in a two-lap span after the restart.
And once hee was out front, no one was catching him.
Sinan Kurt Jersey. Certainly not Dillon and
Hornish, who were stuck on old tires because they had used their allotment. "I
dont even remember what happened," Keselowski said. "We were going to win the
race or I was going to bring back the steering wheel. With five laps to go,
thats the only attitude that can win the race. Sometimes you make it through,
sometimes you dont. Today we did. A lot of aggressive moves. "It almost felt
like a video game passing 10 or 12 cars in two or three laps. Thats what youve
got to be able to do to win at this level." Keselowski finished the season with
seven victories, all in the last 10 of his 16 series starts. Rookie Kyle Larson
finished second, followed Kyle Busch, Matt Kenseth and Trevor Bayne. Hornish and
Dillon had nothing for the leaders down the stretch. Having worn tires made
passing difficult, if not impossible, in the final few laps. It didnt help
Hornish that Kyle Busch spun his tires on the restart. "Couldnt get far enough
ahead of those guys who had taken four tires," Hornish said. "Thats how it
worked out for us tonight. We gave away points throughout the season, between
the driver making mistakes, from everybody on this team making the car better.
We win as a team, we lose as a team. Just needed a little bit more." Keselowskis
victory wasnt the only thing to celebrate for Penske Racing. The team won the
owners title for Roger Penske -- edging Joe Gibbs Racing by a point -- and
landed Ford the manufacturers championship. Joey Logano finished sixth in the
title-winning No. 22 car. "We had four goals coming in here: win the
manufacturer championship for Ford, help Sam win the driver title, win the
owners title and then win the race. We got three out of the four," Keselowski
said. "Sam did a great job, even though he didnt get the fourth one done. He did
an awesome job, and Im really proud of his effort." But the biggest celebration
was saved for Dillon, whose fondest memory as a kid was seeing late NASCAR great
Dale Earnhardt win the 1998 Daytona 500. Dillon knew all he had to do was stay
close to Hornish. "I knew if I could see him and see where he was, then I wasnt
going to give up all the way to end," Dillon said. "He was a great competitor.
Sam, he brought his stuff tonight. We were able to pass one at the end, and it
was a hell of a race."
