LONDON -- Chelsea finally seems to have found the solution to its striking struggles. Diego Costa took his goal haul to seven in four matches with a hat trick against Swansea on Saturday while Loic Remy also scored on his debut. The 4-2 victory was Chelseas fourth win in four matches this season and ended Swanseas perfect start to the Premier League season. Costa, who joined from Atletico Madrid for more than $50 million in July, is the first Chelsea player in 86 years to score in his first four games. Just how much a team relies on a lethal striker is clear at Liverpool, which was beaten 1-0 by Aston Villa. Gabriel Agbonlahors ninth-minute goal inflicted Liverpools second loss in four games since last seasons runners-up sold Luis Suarez to Barcelona. In London, there was no debut goal for Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck in a 2-2 draw with champion Manchester City. Like Arsenal, north London rival Tottenham also conceded late to draw 2-2 at Sunderland as Harry Kane scored an own goal. In west London, Chelseas start didnt bode well for the hosts when captain John Terry inadvertently turned a cross from Swansea defender Neil Taylor into his own net in the 11th minute. It took until just before half time for Costa to equalize for Chelsea, and there was no stopping the Brazil-born Spain forward after his header from Fabregas corner. The pair combined 11 minutes into the second half with Costa finishing clinically from a cutback by Fabregas who now has six assists in his four games since leaving Barcelona. Costa completed his hat trick in the 67th after Ramires scuffed a shot into his path. "Hes comfortable in the team," Mourinho said. "The team was built in a way where we were waiting for a certain type of striker. I think now everybody knows Chelsea did the right thing waiting for him." Costas work was done but his replacement, Remy, didnt take long to make his mark. The French forward, signed from Queens Park Rangers after misfiring Fernando Torres was offloaded on loan to AC Milan, netted from Oscars pass in the 81st. The goal ensured there would be no nervy finish after Jonjo Shelveys goal for Swansea five minutes later. "We have difficult weeks ahead of us," Mourinho cautioned, already eyeing Wednesdays Champions League opener against Schalke. Liverpool returns to European footballs elite competition after a four-year absence on Tuesday, hosting Bulgarian newcomer Ludogorets. Both Arsenal and Manchester City prepared for their Champions League matches in midweek with a pulsating draw. Sergio Augero exploited gaps in the Arsenal defence to meet Jesus Navas cross and put City ahead in the 28th. But Jack Wilshere inspired Arsenals recovery in the second half, chipping the ball over goalkeeper Joe Hart and then heading to Alexis Sanchez to volley into the net. But City levelled thanks to the hosts poor defending in the 83rd when Martin Demichelis became the fourth player this season to score against Arsenal with a header. "It was a game of top quality between two very good teams played at a tremendous pace," Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said. Southampton claimed the biggest victory of the day, a 4-0 rout of Newcastle that makes manager Alan Pardews future look increasingly precarious. But Everton manager Roberto Martinez will be relieved after winning its first match of the season. Romelu Lukaku and Steven Naismith scored in the 2-0 victory over West Bromwich Albion. Leonardo Ulloa gave Leicester a 1-0 victory at Stoke for its first triumph in the topflight since gaining promotion, but fellow newcomer Burnley remains winless after Scott Arfield missed a penalty in a 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace in south London.

http://www.bearsnflfansmall.com/c-25-bears-eddie-royal-jersey.aspx.Y. - It was a new day for Henrik Lundqvist, and the Rangers were looking forward rather than backwards.NEW YORK, N.Y. - Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig hopes for incremental progress from his new committee that will try to take steps to shorten game times.Nothing huge, but significant, Selig said Tuesday, a day after announcing the new panel. I just think theres some things that we can do that wont disturb the game and its history and tradition but will maybe do things a little better.Atlanta Braves President John Schuerholz chairs the committee, which includes Commissioner-elect Rob Manfred, players association head Tony Clark, Boston Red Sox Chairman Tom Werner and partner Michael Gordon, New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson and Major League Baseball Executive Vice-President Joe Torre.The average time of a nine-inning game has increased from 2 hours, 33 minutes, in 1981 to a record 3:03 this year. When Manfred was elected commissioner last month, many owners said speeding up the pace of play and decreasing game times was a top priority.Selig said it would be wrong to blame increased use of instant replay this year. MLB says the 1,230 video reviews through Monday have averaged 1 minute, 46 seconds.I remember Billy Martin, Earl Weaver, my pal Sparky Anderson, Lou Piniella throwing bases, kicking dirt, wild for 10 and 12 minutes, Selig said. We dont have that anymore. So do I believe that this has contributed? I do not.Selig spoke at Yankee Stadium to present Derek Jeter with the Commissioners Historic Achievement Award. Jeter cautioned against changing the rules too much.The great thing about baseball is theres no clock, Jeter said. Some fans comme to the games, they enjoy the experience.dddddddddddd They want to stay here for a long time.MLB cant alter the rules for 2015 without agreement from the players association, but could implement changes unilaterally with one year advance notice.Retired star Ken Griffey Jr., speaking in Oakland, said the pace of play isnt the issue.What, tell people they cant get out of the box? he said. The issue, parents or anybody else, theyve got a go time. No matter whats going on during the day, if theyve got kids, were going to leave at 9:30, thats our go time. It doesnt matter whats going on in the game. Theyll listen to it on the radio. Ive got three kids, I know that go time. I know that by heart.Baltimore manager Buck Showalter said baseball should be careful of those doing the most complaining about game times and nodded at media assembled in front of him.Some of that is part of the beauty of the game, he said.Chicago Cubs manager Rick Renteria advocated the enforcement of current rules, such as 8.04, which states: When the bases are unoccupied, the pitcher shall deliver the ball to the batter within 12 seconds after he receives the ball. Each time the pitcher delays the game by violating this rule, the umpire shall call Ball. I think that we as managers or coaches, when we sit here and were watching, the tempo, the pace of the game, with some pitchers its a turtles pace. It can be a little disheartening, Renteria said. Your defence starts to kind of get lax.___AP Sports Writers Janie McCauley and Andrew Seligman contributed to this report.
