LONDON - Queens Park Rangers gifted Liverpool a 3-2 win in the Premier League on Sunday after defenders Steven Caulker and Richard Dunne scored own goals at Loftus Road. Custom Miami Dolphins Jerseys .In an explosive finish, with four goals in eight minutes, substitute Eduardo Vargas looked to have secured a point for QPR after he scored in the first minute of second-half stoppage time to make it 2-2.Undeterred, Liverpool launched a late counterattack which ended with Caulker putting into his own net to seal the victory for Brendan Rodgers team.Liverpool substitute Philippe Coutinho had put Liverpool 2-1 up in the 90th minute before Vargas equalized.Earlier, after Mario Balotelli blazed over the bar in the 62nd, Dunne scored the opener five minutes later at the wrong end for his 10th career own goal. Vargas then equalized in the 87th for the first of his two goals.QPR certainly did not deserve to lose. We were lucky to get the win, but we showed tremendous character, Rodgers said. We were a bit better in the second half but QPR definitely deserved something from the game.Despite its third straight defeat, QPR manager Harry Redknapp saw many positives but thought his team should have played out for a draw at the end.Thats the best Ive seen the team play since Ive been here, Redknapp said. Everywhere I thought we were fantastic. Today we went after them all over the park and we won our battles in 90 per cent of positions but in the end we got done for being naive.QPR started best and Charlie Austin had the games first meaningful opportunity in the 9th. After forcing his way into the penalty area, his first shot was saved by goalkeeper Simon Mignolet and from the rebound he could only find the side netting.QPR continued to press forward and midfielder Leroy Fer was twice denied by the crossbar in the space of five minutesHis first effort cannoned off the top of the bar in the 27th and, after his second attempt, Austins follow up was cleared off the line with Mignolet stranded.A lacklustre opening period for Liverpool saw captain Steven Gerrard curl a shot just wide in the 44th.The visitors improved after the interval and should have taken the lead in the 62nd but for an erratic attempt from Balotelli. After Adam Lallanas initial shot was parried by goalkeeper Alex McCarthy, the striker blazed over from six yards out with the goal unguarded.Those frustrations seemed to have been quelled when Dunne put through his own net after quick thinking from Raheem Sterling. A rapid free kick caught QPR offguard and Glen Johnsons cross was accidentally sent into his own net by Dunne.QPR drew level for the first time when Vargas directed Austins header into the net, eight minutes after his introduction for Bobby Zamora.However, Coutinho struck in the 90th, bending a shot beyond McCarthy after being fed by Gerrard.Vargas responded with his second in the 91st after his near-post header edged over Mignolets goal line, before another own goal in the fifth minute of stoppage time handed Liverpool the points.Sterling broke away down the right before his attempted cross for Balotelli was cut out by Caulker. Despite intercepting the pass, Caulker managed to guide the ball into the net to the disbelief of players and supporters.Were still in shock to be honest. We were very lucky today, said Gerrard. The only credit we can give ourselves is that we never gave up.The win lifts Liverpool into fifth place on 13 points while QPR remain bottom of the table after collecting four points from their opening eight matches. Ja Wuan James Jersey . Still, Milan remained five points behind city rival Inter Milan in the race for fifth place and the final Europa League berth, after Inter beat 10-man Parma 2-0. Meanwhile, Paul Pogba led the way as Juventus stayed on course for a third consecutive title with a 1-0 win over relegation-threatened Bologna. Raekwon McMillan Jersey .C. - Steve Clifford isnt exactly singing his teams praises after the Bobcats won for the sixth time in seven games.SALT LAKE CITY - Gordon Hayward knows the Utah Jazz have their best chance to win when they play together and share the ball. Victories havent come easy for the Jazz during this rebuilding season. "We realize were not there yet individually, where we can just play for ourselves and still win. We need to play as a team," Hayward said. Alec Burks and Hayward each scored 21 points and the Jazz held off the New Orleans Pelicans 100-96 on Friday night to snap a five-game skid. The Jazz had 22 assists on their 33 baskets and several other unselfish passes led to 35 attempts from the free throw line. Burks had 12 of his points in the fourth quarter and Hayward added eight final-period points. The Jazz needed all of it to overcome the reeling Pelicans, who played without Anthony avis down the stretch due to back spasms. "Alec attacks the rim and hes got to be one of the best in the league at driving to the basket," Hayward said. "He finishes so well that he scores or gets fouls almost every time." Two exceptions occurred in the waning moments — swarming Pelicans forced Burks to travel and then Greg Stiemsma blocked Burks layup. Anthony Morrow, who had a game-high 26 points, hit a 3-pointer to draw New Orleans within 95-93. Hayward made one of two free throws and the Pelicans drew a play that produced a wide-open shot for Darius Miller that rimmed out. "Thats exactly what we wanted. We had Tyreke (Evans) with the ball looking to find a shooter and he found Darius. It was the best look we could ask for, and it just didnt go in," Brian Roberts said. Roberts made another 3 with 1.7 seconds remaining, but Hayward and Burks each made two more free throws to clinch the victory for the Jazz. Burks made all 13 of his free throw attempts. Derrick Favours had 20 points and nine rebounds for the Jazz. He thrived without Davis playing at full strength. "There was more room in the post," Favors said. "We had people move around instead of standing still, so it was a big help." Roberts had 18 points while Davis finished with eight points and six rebounds in 23 minutes as the Pelicans dropped their fourth straight following a five-game win streak. The game waas tight throughout, but the Jazz extended their lead to double digits near the end of the third when Hayward hit a 3 and followed with another jumper to make it 73-63. Lawrence Timmons Jersey. But the Pelicans responded despite playing an unusual lineup that was sitting at the end of the bench earlier this season before the team was decimated with injuries. Eric Gordon, Ryan Anderson, Jrue Holiday and Jason Smith — a group that averages nearly 60 points a game combined — all are sidelined. New Orleans turned to Morrow, who trimmed the Jazz advantage to 82-79 on a jumper in the lane with 7:16 to play. Morrow also had a dozen points in the fourth quarter on 5-for-5 shooting to give the Pelicans a chance. The guard has scored at least 17 points in five of his past six games. The Jazz again built the lead to 10 points when Hayward made a pair of free throws. The Pelicans then made their last-gasp comeback that fell just short. On one play in the third quarter, Davis blocked Favours shot and then saved the ball from going out of bounds. But as the two big men pursued the ball, Davis was sandwiched between Favours and the fans courtside. Davis gingerly ran back on offence and soon after left the court to be evaluated. The training staff confirmed Davis had back spasms but he returned to play in the fourth quarter, but wasnt on the court when the Pelicans made their final push. "He wanted to play and I just said no. Were not in the playoffs. Every game for me is a championship game, but Ive got to be smart," Pelicans coach Monty Williams said. Davis played only 11 minutes against the Nuggets and his absence was felt as the Pelicans allowed season highs in points (137) and field goal shooting (56.5). After three days rest at home, the Jazz also took advantage with 51.6 per cent shooting. "We talked about being able to finish games and we still have the energy to compete. Its been a long year for these guys and weve been through a lot," Utah coach Ty Corbin said. Notes: Stiemsma got a technical foul for arguing with the officials midway through the third period. ... The Pelicans have lost 12 of 15 on the road. ... After a long slump, Hayward is averaging 21 points a game in his past six. Cheap NFL Hoodies Camo China NFL Jerseys Wholesale Nike NFL JerseysWholesale Jerseys 2020 Youth NFL Jerseys Cheap Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Nike NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
