MANCHESTER, England -- With Zlatan Ibrahimovic having an off day, Manchester United turned to a striker at the opposite end of his career to keep its winning run going in the English Premier League on Saturday. Blank Wales Jersey .Marcus Rashford came off the bench and scored two minutes into injury time to give United a 1-0 victory at Hull, lifting the team alongside Chelsea on a maximum nine points.The 18-year-old Rashford was a revelation in the second half of last season, scoring eight goals after coming from the youth set-up to solve an injury crisis, but has been displaced by offseason signing Ibrahimovic under new coach Jose Mourinho.He has just given Mourinho some thinking to do.Rashford came on in the 71st minute with United struggling to break down Hulls stoic defense and in danger of dropping points for the first time. Along with fellow sub Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Rashford changed the dynamic of the game with his direct running and was on hand to tap in the winning goal after Wayne Rooney raced clear down the left and sent over a cross.We did everything to win, Mourinho said. I know when you score (in) minute 90-something, you talk of a bit of luck. But we were so dominant, so intense in our attacking wave.United has won its first three games of the season for the first time since 2011, when Alex Ferguson was still in charge. Its early days but United under Mourinho is beginning to have the same aura as Fergusons sides, and even scoring goals in so-called Fergie Time.The 34-year-old Ibrahimovic was well-shackled by the Hull defense and missed out on becoming only the second United player to score in his first four games for the club.Chelsea had it much easier against another promoted club.Eden Hazard, Willian, and Victor Moses scored in a 3-0 win over Burnley at Stamford Bridge, with a ruthless performance reminiscent of those produced in the teams title-winning campaign in 2014-15, when Mourinho was Chelsea coach.Hull and Manchester City started the weekend as the other teams with 100 percent records after two games. City hosts West Ham on Sunday.Leicester and Arsenal, the top two teams last season, racked up their first wins at the third attempt, and their star attackers were back on the scoresheet.Jamie Vardy set champion Leicester on its way to a 2-1 win over Swansea at King Power Stadium. Wes Morgan added a second goal and Leicester winger Riyad Mahrez had a penalty saved before Leroy Fer pulled a goal back for the visitors.Alexis Sanchez was the inspiration behind Arsenals 3-1 victory at Watford, earning a ninth-minute penalty converted by Santi Cazorla, scoring himself, then setting up Mesut Ozil for the third goal before halftime.Tottenham and Liverpool are two more teams hoping to be in the mix for the top four, perhaps even the title, and they drew 1-1 in a frenetic match at White Hart Lane.Two left backs scored, with James Milners penalty for Liverpool canceled out by Danny Roses 72nd-minute strike. Tottenham has five points, one more than Liverpool.Everton kept up its unbeaten start to the league under new coach Ronald Koeman by beating Stoke 1-0, courtesy of a penalty from Leighton Baines that struck the post, hit goalkeeper Shay Given on the head, and rebounded in.There were also two 1-1 draws, between Southampton-Sunderland and Crystal Palace-Bournemouth. Those four teams remain without a win this season. Gareth Bale Wales Jersey . Just as Montreal was settling into the first full working week of a new year, the Impact announced the appointment of their new head coach. Wales Soccer Jersey . Robinson finished with 17 points, all but two in the second half, and Lawson had 14 after halftime and finished with a game-high 11 assists as the Nuggets handed Dallas its first home loss in eight games this season. J.J. Hickson led Denver with 22, and Kenneth Faried added 10 points and 10 rebounds. http://www.walessoccerjerseyuk.com/ashley-williams-shirt-wales.html . "We have always prided ourselves on the way we play defence. Having two big pieces back is going to be a key for us moving forward for years to come," said Knighthawks head coach Mike Hasen. BATON ROUGE, La. -- Trips to Auburn havent been kind to LSU in recent years. If that is to change, coach Les Miles 18th-ranked squad will need poised performances from a banged-up offensive line and a recently promoted quarterback making his first road start in the Southeastern Conference.Auburn has already been beaten at home twice this season by Clemson and Texas A&M. In fact, six straight SEC teams have won in Jordan-Hare Stadium.But LSU has dropped six of eight at Auburn, and LSUs offense doesnt exactly look like a juggernaut as it prepares to meet an Auburn defense run by former LSU defensive coordinator Kevin Steele.Quarterback Danny Etling has made only one start for LSU. That was at home this past Saturday, when he completed 19 of 30 passes for 215 yards and one touchdown. Those were by no means staggering numbers, but compare favorably to what LSU quarterbacks have produced during the previous two seasons.Danny understands what he is supposed to do, Miles said Monday. When you go on the road, you connect with your teammates and you connect with your coaches. You make sure you communicate with your teammates. Do your job and focus on things on the field.Etling, a junior who transferred from Purdue, said his action with the Boilermakers as a freshman and sophomore have given him at least a taste of the environment hell have to contend with at Auburn (1-2, 0-1).I have started road games in the Big Ten and that will help me this week, Etling said, noting that Penn State was the toughest place for him to play. I was maybe a little nervous at Purdue. Now, I understand what it takes to win the game. Playing on the road is something I take seriously. But, that is not going to be the deciding factor. I have gotten some good experience. I have some good coaches who can teach me some stuff.Etling first replaced season-opening starter Brandon Harris in the third series of LSUs second game, a victory over Jacksonville State. LSU (2-1, 1-0 SEC) has won both games in which Etling has played, but has stalled a bit in the second half of both games, scoring just one TD after halftime in each. Joe Ledley Wales Jersey. Danny does a great job moving the ball around, Miles said. He is doing the things we ask him to do. Should this offense come to play for 60 minutes, wed be happy about it.Meanwhile, LSUs offensive line has resembled a game of musical chairs, with eight total linemen seeing action during this weekends victory over Mississippi State because of a spate of apparently minor injuries.Right tackle Toby Weathersby was the one starter who was unavailable at the end of the game with the Bulldogs. Backup Maea Teuhema, who took snaps at both right guard and right tackle, ended the game in Weathersbys spot.We had guys who caught cramps, get injured and got nicks, Miles said. We had seven different combinations.Miles credited offensive line coach Jeff Grimes for doing a great job cross-training the players he oversees to handle multiple spots along the line.They allowed no sacks. Thank goodness (Grimes) works these through in practice, Miles said. All of these combinations had been seen by coach Grimes. There is some camaraderie on that line. The players are committed to each other. No one is rigid about staying in one place. That makes it more comfortable for these guys to move to other spots. This group thinks team first.Center Ethan Pocic was the only starting offensive lineman who did not leave the game because of an injury. Pocic had to switch positions due to the injuries as he played left tackle for two fourth-quarter possessions.It was a rough time Saturday because you hate to see guys going down. But, were used to it -- lining up with different guys, said guard Will Clapp, who was among the lineman that went down, but returned. We have to learn more than our position. Coach Grimes trains us to be big picture. He wants us to learn the whole line, the whole offense.---Online: AP College Football: http://collegefootball.ap.org/ Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
