PREMIERSHIP

Costly draw for MU

Afp, London
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson refused to blame his side's crippling injury list for the loss of two more valuable points following a 1-1 draw against Tottenham at Old Trafford.
The result left champions Chelsea eight points clear ahead of Sunday's match against bottom-of-the-table Everton.
In Saturday's late match Charlton moved into second place after coming from behind to beat faltering Portsmouth 2-1 at Fratton Park.
Elsewhere Wigan's dream start to Premiership life continued with a 2-0 win over Aston Villa at Villa Park to lift them to third.
Fulham paid tribute to their most capped player Johnny Haynes, who died in midweek, with a 2-0 win over European champions Liverpool.
And Arsenal continued their 100 percent home record with a 1-0 win over Manchester City at Highbury thanks to a Robert Pires penalty.
In Saturday's early kick-off match Blackburn ensured Birmingham stayed in the bottom three with a 2-0 win at Ewood Park.
At Old Trafford, United got off to a dream start with Mikael Silvestre prodding home on seven minutes after England goalkeeper Paul Robinson spilled a Ruud van Nistelrooy header.
United were rampant in the early part of the game and Alan Smith brought a smart save from his former Leeds United team-mate with a left foot volley before Robinson also denied John O'Shea.
Martin Jol made some changes after the break and the north Londoners came out firing on all cylinders.
Jermaine Jenas levelled matters on 72 minutes, scoring from a free-kick that left van der Sar rooted to the spot.
Despite slipping further behind Chelsea, Ferguson brushed aside concerns over his side's crippling injury crisis.
"It's frustrating but you have to get on with it," he said. "It is no problem for us, we have young players thriving on the opportunity to play."
Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez was despondent after watching his side fail to score for fourth time in eight league games this season.
"They created two chances and scored two goals, we created lots of chances but didn't score," said Benitez.
Collins John opened the scoring and Luis Boa Morte sealed the win deep into stoppage time.
Tony Warner produced a series of sensational saves to keep the Fulham goal intact and leave the European champions still languishing in the bottom half of the table.
Arsenal captain Thierry Henry was presented with a silver cannon by legend Ian Wright before kick-off to commemorate his record scoring feat of 187 goals - one more than Wright managed for the Gunners.
The French talisman won the penalty that Pires converted to give Arsenal their fifth home win of the season but was also involved in a bizarre incident that will hog the headlines.
Pires turned from hero to clown when trying to tee up Henry with a second penalty after David Sommeil brought down Dennis Bergkamp.
The Frenchman fluffed his pass -which would have been illegal anyway -
leaving manager Arsene Wenger bemused.
"We got away with it. I don't think Robert's intention was a lack of respect it was just a bad decision," said the French manager on the day of his 56th birthday.
"If it had finished 1-1 it would have been a big mistake."
At Villa Park Aaron Hughes put the ball into his own net from a Henri Camara cross in the first half and Alan Mahon rifled home a second after the break.
Blackburn moved up to ninth in the table after a scrappy encounter.
Paul Dickov's penalty shortly after half time and a Craig Bellamy second on his return from injury saw Rovers to victory.
On the south coast Portsmouth looked to be heading towards their first home win of the season when Dario Silva put them 1-0 up in the 14th minute. But second-half goals from Darren Ambrose and Dennis Rommedahl saw Charlton secure all three points.
Sunday's other matches see a northeast derby when Newcastle play Sunderland while in-form West Brom travel to Bolton and West Ham are at home to Middlesbrough.
