FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Alex Iwobi Jersey UK . -- Lee Nguyen got a second chance on a penalty kick and converted it in the 83rd minute to help the New England Revolution keep their MLS playoff hopes alive with a 2-1 victory over D.C. United on Saturday night. New England (11-11-7) snapped a three-match (0-2-1) winless streak when Nguyen converted his second penalty kick after being tripped in the penalty box by Lewis Neal. Nguyen was taken down by D.C. Uniteds Dejan Jakovic in the 55th minute, but D.C. United goalie Bill Hamid dove right to stop the shot. D.C. United (3-20-6) had its winless streak extended to seven matches (0-5-2). It took the lead in the 11th minute on an own goal by New England defender Scott Caldwell. The Revolution tied it in the 58th minute when Diego Fagundez scored his team-best 11th goal. Mesut Ozil Jersey UK . -- The Portland Timbers and Real Salt Lake played to a 0-0 tie Saturday night that left the top of the Western Conference standings unchanged. Carl Jenkinson Arsenal Jersey UK . Any real chance at payback wont come until the playoff. Still, Pittsburgh knows its taut 3-2 win over the Bruins on Wednesday night is a pretty good place to start laying the groundwork. "They are a very good defensive team," Penguins forward Brandon Sutter said.http://www.arsenalfcteamshop.net/kieran-gibbs-arsenal-jersey-uk/ . McCarthy, a player who played some games in the second tier for Wigan at the start of this season, would go on to shine inside Evertons midfield, outplaying the man he was brought in to replace, on one of the grandest stages in English football. On Saturday, it was fitting that Manchester Uniteds most recent dagger into the chest was delivered by Frenchman Yohan Cabaye, a wonderfully gifted central midfielder who put on an outstanding effort for Newcastle at Old Trafford.ARLINGTON, Texas -- Boston Red Sox starter Felix Doubront seemingly had no problem getting the first two outs against the Texas Rangers. The third out required in each inning proved a bit more elusive. Doubront allowed a career-worst 12 hits in only 3 2-3 innings, nine of those hits coming with two outs, and the Red Sox lost 7-0 in their series opener against the Texas Rangers on Friday night. "Overall, the lack of a finishing pitch," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "I think he had nine guys with two strikes and eight got on base. ... It wasnt as much finishing off an individual guy as it was finishing off an inning and it ran the pitch count up." Doubront (3-1) was done after 97 pitches, the last resulting in Adrian Beltres three-run double on a full-count pitch with two outs that made it 5-0. "It was hard for me to put them away with two strikes" Doubront said. The Red Sox (20-9) still have the best record in the majors, but were shut out for the third time this season. It was their 10th series opening game -- they had won eight of the first nine. Mike Napoli, with a majors-best 22 extra-base hits and 31 RBIs in his first month with the Red Sox, was 0 for 4 in his first game back at Rangers Ballpark. Napoli, who hit 54 home runs the last two seasons for the Rangers and made his only World Series appearance with them two years ago, was greeted with the old chants of "Nap-o-li!, Nap-oli!" when he batted for the first time. But the fans were cheering when the Red Sox first baseman then struck out. "It was nice. I always loved playing here," Napoli said of the response. That was a much different reaction than five-time All-Star slugger Josh Hamilton got in his return with the Los Angeles Angels last month, when the 2010 AL MVP was booed throughout that weekend series. Derek Holland (2-2) threw eight scoreless innings. He had a season-high nine strikeouts and allowed only six singles to win his fifth straight against the Red Sox. "I had no clue," Holland said of that streak. "Thats a great ball club over there. Im not going to get caught up in that. They can strike back at any time. " The left-handers lone loss came as a rookie at Fenway Park in June 2009, his third career start. Hes 5-1 with a 2. Kieran Gibbs Arsenal Jersey UK. 41 ERA in six starts against the Red Sox. After Holland threw 112 pitches, Derek Lowe worked a perfect ninth to wrap up the Rangers fifth shutout this season. Doubronts velocity was down, though he said he wasnt worried. "I know Im down. I just have to keep working, playing catch, long toss. Its not a concern now," he said. Farrell had a slightly different take. "A little bit of a concern. Physically, he doesnt express any restrictions, any tightness, any soreness," Farrell said. "When he tries to get his better velocity, thats where he starts to lose command. We have to go by that theres no aches, stiffness or soreness." Beltre broke out of an extended slump with four hits. Ian Kinsler and Mitch Moreland both had three hits for the AL West-leading Rangers, who rebounded from their first series loss of the season and four losses in the previous five games with a season-high 18 hits. The entire team had only three hits against the Chicago White Sox the previous night. "Its nice to get involved with the other guys," said Beltre, who had been 4 for 31 his previous eight games. "Its nice to get into the groove a little bit and hopefully thatll be the start of another streak." While his home run Thursday produced the only run in the Rangers 3-1 loss to the White Sox, Beltre grounded into an inning-ending double play with the bases loaded in the sixth, and struck out with two runners on two innings later. "Beltre has got a track record, and the guys in my lineup have got a track record," manager Ron Washington said. "Beltre is a run producer, there wasnt anyone more upset about it than Beltre. But Im happy that he said hes not frustrated because when you get frustrated you go blind. And undoubtedly, tonight he wasnt blind." NOTES: David Ortiz beat out an infield single leading off the second, extending his season-opening hitting streak to 11 games since coming off the disabled list for Boston. Ortiz has an overall hitting streak of 23 games dating to last season, the longest active streak in the majors. ... Ortiz broke a nine-game streak of having an extra-base hit. .. Doubront has an ERA of 12.60 in his four career appearances at Rangers Ballpark. Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
