Manchester, England (SportsNetwork.com) - David Silva scored a pair of goals for Manchester City on Saturday to lead the club to a 3-0 win over Crystal Palace at the Etihad Stadium, moving City level on 39 points at the top of the table with Chelsea. City entered the match woefully short on options at striker with Sergio Aguero, Edin Dzeko and Stevan Jovetic all out on Saturday. But Silva stepped up and filled the void by scoring in the 49th and 61st minutes before Yaya Toure capped the scoring nine minutes from time to hand City its eighth successive win in all competitions. A patient approach from the home side still yielded decent chances in the first half, but it wasnt until after the break that Silva fired his team in front. Pablo Zabaleta did some good work to get into the penalty area and drop the ball off for Silva, whose first-time shot took a wicked deflection on its way past goalkeeper Julian Speroni. Silva was at it again just after the hour mark when he arrived in front of goal to redirect a low cross from Aleksandar Kolarov past Speroni. James McArthur thought he had pulled a goal back for the visitors when he headed the ball past Joe Hart in the City net, only for it to be ruled out for offsides. Toure put the finishing touches on the win in the 81st minute when he took control of the ball from James Milner and smashed a shot off the post and into the net. Manchester United dropped seven points back of City after being held to a 1-1 draw at Aston Villa. Christian Benteke put Villa ahead in the 18th minute, while Radamel Falcao found the equalizer eight minutes into the second half for United.

Steven Shotts 38-yard field goal with just eight seconds to play was the difference as the B.C. Lions overcame a tough start to defeat the Edmonton Eskimos 14-11 in a CFL pre-season game. "We definitely had to overcome some stuff in this game," Benevides said. "We had some positive plays and some negative plays we needed to rebound from. We had a touchdown at the goal-line in the second quarter and dropped it and had another one on a corner route and didnt exactly get the throw we wanted. We were down the entire game and had to fight that adversity. It was good to see how they handled the final two minutes." Lions quarterback Travis Partridge engineered the comeback and was thrilled to be able to make a difference in his first CFL game. "It was fun," he said. "There were a lot of firsts for me. I had my first bonehead mistake with an interception, my first completion, my first rushing yards and my first TD pass. It was a blast. Even though it was a pre-season game, a win always feels good. I have a lot to learn, as do a lot of us, but it was something I can build on." The Lions finished one spot ahead of Edmonton in the Western Division last season, tied with Saskatchewan at 11-7. The Eskimos are hoping a ton of off-season changes, including bringing in Chris Jones as the new head coach, will help them improve on a disappointing 4-14 record in the 2013 season. "It was a pretty good game," Jones said. "Theres a lot of good things on that film, unfortunately we ended up coming out on the short end of the stick. We talked about it pre-game, we had to hold onto the football, we couldnt take penalties and that ended up being the Achilles heel at the end, but there were some good things." Edmonton started the scoring with 5:45 remaining in the opening quarter as quarterback Mike Reilly capped off a long drive with a 33-yard touchdown pass to Fred Stamps. B.C. responded with a 37-yard Ricky Schmitt field goal three minutes later to make it 7-3 for Edmonton heading into the second quarter. John Beck replaced Kevin Glenn as the Lions quarterback for the second half. He had a couple of decentt drives fall short as B.dddddddddddd. could only add a punt single to its side of the score column before turning the ball over at the Edmonton nine-yard line on a third down gamble with just under two minutes to play in the first half. Edmonton got a late interception from Dexter McCoil at the Lions 35, leading to a Grant Shaw field goal and a 10-4 lead for the home team at the mid-mark. The slow pace to the game continued into the third quarter as Edmonton got a single point on a missed 37-yard field goal attempt by Zackary Medeiros. It just wasnt Medeiros day as he got a second chance from the 36 late in the third quarter and hit the uprights to keep the score at a humdrum 11-4. The Lions were pressing to tie the game with nine-and-a-half minutes remaining, but a pass from third string QB Partridge was picked off in the end zone by Edmontons Ryan Hinds. B.C. was finally rewarded on one of their drives with just 2:43 remaining in the fourth quarter as Partridge hit Brian Burnham with a 23-yard TD pass into the end zone to tie the game 11-11. The Lions got the ball back at the Edmonton 25 with 47 seconds left on Alex Ellis-Hoffmans recovery of a Mark Dell fumble, leading to the game-winning field goal.
