| Sunderland grab derby draw thanks to late Ba own goal Posted: 21 Oct 2012 09:16 AM PDT  Demba Ba (second right) watches in horror the own goal that cost Newcastle United full points. — Reuters pic Yohan Cabaye scored after three minutes to give the visitors the lead at the Stadium of Light before Newcastle were reduced to 10 men after 25 minutes when Cheick Tiote was sent off for a rash kick at Sunderland's Steven Fletcher. Sunderland grabbed a point when John O'Shea met Sebastian Larsson's freekick with a powerful header that deflected into the net off the face of United striker Demba Ba. The result left both teams in mid-table, with Newcastle in 11th place on 10 points from eight games and Sunderland 14th on eight with a match in hand. Bottom club Queens Park Rangers were facing fourth-placed Everton at Loftus Road in a 1500 GMT kickoff. — Reuters |
| Venus wins in Luxembourg to end title drought Posted: 21 Oct 2012 09:11 AM PDT LUXEMBOURG, Oct 21 — Venus Williams proved today she was still a force to be reckoned with after a two-year battle with injuries and illness as she downed Romania's Monica Niculescu 6-2 6-3 to win the Luxembourg Open title. The result ended a torrid year and a 31-month barren run for the 32-year-old American, who failed to get past the second round of any of the three majors she competed in in 2012. While victory in a low-key tournament in Luxembourg might not rate as a landmark win for a woman who has won seven grand slam singles titles, the American looked visibly delighted to get back into the winner's circle for the first time since being diagnosed in 2011 with the auto-immune, fatigue-inducing illness Sjogren's Syndrome. — Reuters |
