Captain Sebastian Kehl powered in his header on 66 minutes to complete Dortmund's fourth straight win. Borussia Moenchengladbach dropped to fifth on 17 points after Hoffenheim forward Vedad Ibisevic, starting for the first time after a months-long injury break, struck on 56 minutes to give the hosts a 1-0 win. VfB Stuttgart's Mexico international Maza rescued a 2-2 draw at Nuremberg with a header at the far post six minutes from time. The draw was enough to move them into third on 17. Leaders Bayern Munich, on 22, travel to Hanover 96 tomorrow. Werder Bremen are fourth, five points behind, after drawing 1-1 at Augsburg yesterday. — Reuters Full content generated by Get Full RSS. |
| Late goals give Wolves 2-2 draw with Swansea Posted: 22 Oct 2011 07:35 AM PDT LONDON, Oct 22 — Wolverhampton Wanderers scored twice in the last five minutes to rescue a 2-2 draw against Swansea City at Molineux today just when they looked set to suffer their sixth successive Premier League defeat. Swansea, in total control for almost the entire match and seemingly on their way to a first away win since being promoted, collapsed in the dying minutes as Kevin Doyle scored after 85 minutes and then Jamie O'Hara smashed in the equaliser. The Welsh side led with first half goals from Danny Graham and Joe Allen and squandered a number of other chances in the second half before Wolves's unexpected fightback. Swansea are 11th in the 20-team table with nine points from as many games while Wolves are 14th on eight points. The match, played in bright lunchtime sunshine, was the first of five in the league today with fourth-placed Newcastle United playing joint-bottom Wigan Athletic later and fifth-placed Liverpool meeting Norwich City. — Reuters Full content generated by Get Full RSS. |
