PREMIERSHIP

Same old start for Liverpool

AFP, London
It was straight back to domestic disappointment for Champions League winners Liverpool who were held 0-0 at Middlesbrough as the English Premiership kicked off on Saturday.
Manchester United meanwhile, proved their title credentials with a 2-0 victory at Everton. With last season's champions Chelsea and runners-up Arsenal starting their campaigns Sunday, United showcased their intent to run them a
lot closer in the title race this time around.
On their Premiership return, West Ham beat Blackburn 3-1 but Championship winners Sunderland were beaten 3-1 by Charlton and a rejuvenated Tottenham won 2-0 at Portsmouth.
At Goodison Park, goals from Netherlands striker Ruud van Nistelrooy and former Everton striker Wayne Rooney asserted United's superiority with a comprehensive victory that exposed a gulf in class.
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard earned praise from both managers after a dominant display
at the Riverside stadium but there was no way through against a resolute 10-man Boro in a 0-0 draw.
"He has scored seven goals in our pre-season and had two or three clear opportunities here, so we have to be happy that he is getting into the box so often," said Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez.
"He's an awesome player," added Boro counterpart Steve McClaren.
Middlesbrough defender Ugo Ehiogu was dismissed with 15 minutes remaining before Gerrard's 76th minute header looped onto the crossbar and another went agonisingly wide 11 minutes from time.
West Ham celebrated their return to the top flight by coming from behind to beat Blackburn Rovers 3-1 at Upton Park.
Andy Todd put the visitors ahead but 39-year-old former England and Manchester United striker Teddy Sheringham equalised.
The veteran inspired the the Hammers to dominate and Nigel Reo-Coker lashed in from distance and Matthew Etherington sealed victory before Rovers' Paul Dickov was dismissed.
Tottenham fancy their chances of claiming a UEFA Cup spot this season and saw off Pompey in a 20 win.
Spurs were without the injured Netherlands veteran Edgar Davids, Robbie Keane and Ledley King but still claimed victory.
Their first goal at Fratton Park in 47 years - an own-goal by Portsmouth's Andy Griffin - and one from England striker Jermain Defoe ensured victory.
Ten-man visitors Charlton welcomed Championship winners Sunderland back to the top flight by beating them 3-1 at the Stadium of Light.
New striker Darren Bent's double and a Danny Murphy free kick did the damage for Charlton despite Darren Ambrose's dismissal.
Newboy Andy Gray scored for Sunderland.
Aston Villa and Bolton got off to a flying start at Villa Park with all four goals in a 2-2 draw raining in inside nine minutes.
Former Southampton striker Kevin Phillips took just four minutes to open his Villa account.
But the joy lasted two minutes more before Kevin Davies and Ivan Campo turned things around for the UEFA Cup side.
Steven Davis then equalised for the hosts.
Manchester City, without the wing trickery of Chelsea capture Sean Wright-Phillips, were held at home to a goalless draw by last season's relegation survivors West Bromwich.
Mid-table fodder Fulham and Birmingham drew 0-0 at Craven Cottage.
Premiership debutants Wigan take on Chelsea on Sunday and struggling giants Newcastle visit FA Cup holders Arsenal.
