LONDON -- An exquisite equalizer from Yaya Toure sparked a second-half comeback by Manchester City in the League Cup final on Sunday, with a 3-1 victory over Sunderland giving Manuel Pellegrini his first trophy as manager. Returning to the stadium where Roberto Mancinis City career ended in an FA Cup final loss last May, further Wembley misery appeared to be beckoning when Fabio Borini put Premier League struggler Sunderland in front after 10 minutes. Instead, City, which has now scored 121 goals this season, remains on course for an improbable quadruple that would require all the resolve displayed in the second half to complete. After a flat first-half performance, the recovery began after Toure nonchalantly curled into the net from 30 yards (meters) in the 55th minute, with Samir Nasri volleying home Citys second inside two minutes. City fans were already celebrating just their third trophy in three years -- following a 35-year title drought -- when Jesus Navas completed a counterattack to add the third in the 90th minute. "To win the first trophy I think is important for us all ... because at an important club you must win trophies," said Pellegrini, the Chilean who spent a decade in charge of Spanish clubs without a winners medal. "In the second half we changed it and scored two beautiful goals and we had the patience to win." City is in the Premier League title hunt and has reached the FA Cup quarterfinals, but must overturn a 2-0 deficit against Barcelona to advance in the Champions League from the round-of-16 stage. "I hope it will bring confidence for us to win the other trophies," Nasri said. After more than $1.5 billion of Abu Dhabi investment in less than six years, City has now won each of the domestic trophies in three years, following the 2011 FA Cup and 2012 Premier League title produced by Mancini. But, in a showpiece game seen live in around 180 countries, City was unpicked after just 10 minutes by a team fighting relegation when slack defending allowed Sunderland to pounce. Fernandinho was dispossessed next to the Sunderland penalty area, allowing Seb Larsson to launch a counterattack before passing to Adam Johnson on the right wing. Johnson then sent the ball high down the flank to Borini, who easily slipped beyond captain Vincent Kompany before scoring low past Costel Pantilimon. In response, there was little threat from a team which is six points off the top of the standings but with two games in hand. Sergio Aguero, back after five games out with a hamstring injury, launched himself down the right flank midway through the first half. But after crossing to Nasri, the France midfielders sight of goal was partially obscured by Lee Cattermole and it was a trouble-free save for Vito Mannone. Making amends for his earlier slackness, a well-timed tackle by Kompany cut out Borinis run on goal -- denying Sunderland a chance to double its lead before halftime. "Our first half, there was memories of Wigan," Nasri said, referring to last years FA Cup final loss. "We said that we need to stay calm, to remain focused and play our football." City did just that, and two exceptional moments swung the game in Citys favour. The curling shot from Toure looped over Mannone into the corner of the net, giving the defensive midfielder a 17th goal of the season. And before Sunderland could regroup there was an equally fine finish from Nasri. From Pantilimons quick goal kick, Aguero sent the ball to Aleksandar Kolarov, who crossed for Nasri to net with a first-time volley. "Theyve scored a great goal to get back into it, hes stuck it in the top corner from 30 yards out and then weve lost a bit of organization and its cost us a second goal," Sunderland captain John OShea said. There was no way back for Sunderland, and Fernandinho seized possession to allow City to mount a late surge forward that ended with Toure setting up Navas to beat Mannone with a close-range finish. "It wasnt to be," Sunderland manager Gus Poyet said. "But we tried ... and now we want to stay in the Premier League." Swell Flaske Norge .

Swell Drikkeflaske Norge . Neither side would publicly confirm or deny any discussions were taking place, until the near unexpected happened. On Saturday night sources confirmed to TSN, the league and players agreed to terms on a new, tentative CBA, pending ratification by the unions players. A league source confirmed the CFLs board of governors must also ratify any potential agreement.He had just watched his team dominate their first game of the season yet they had lost 1-0. Following the match, the local media waited anxiously wondering what kind of response they would get from the charismatic manager. Some expected shouting, some rage, perhaps anger. They would be disappointed. Sunderland manager Paolo Di Canio instead stood behind a microphone and gave thoughtful answers to all questions. When asked how he felt about Fulham scoring with their only effort on goal, there was no pity party. "My players have to learn. I have told them for the past two months we can play attractive football, dominate, but set plays can cost you points and today it happened as their only corner kick became a goal and cost us points we deserved," he said. You will notice Di Canio said points and not point. He had clearly felt his team should have won their opening match, in front of over 45,000 expectant home supporters, but instead they had lost it to a 52nd minute header by Pajtim Kasami after he bullied debut man Valentin Roberge off the ball before nodding home. (photo: www.fourfourtwo.com - Click For Larger Image) Di Canio didnt stop with his lesson to the listening media, continuing: "I warned my players, especially the ones from abroad, they need to learn that the Premier League is different to all the other leagues in the world because every side has a minimum of five or six players over 186, 190 (centimetres). In Italy, Spain, Portugal, you have a maximum of two, three players like this - a centre-half, striker." It was a fascinating take on the approaches taken in different leagues across the continent and not only showed Di Canios experience of the English game (having signed as a player for Sheffield Wednesday back in 1997) but also just how much emphasis a manager at that level puts on set pieces, both in their own penalty box and the opponents. Last season, following the signing of Robin van Persie whose deliveries from a dead ball were outstanding, Manchester United not only won the league but led the standings in goals from set pieces, scoring 22 of their 86 goals in that manner (26 per cent). Sunderland scored just half that many and even more alarmingly, netted just two headed goals all last season - a remarkable statistic when 75 per cent of their attacks came from either the left or right flank. When Di Canio replaced former boss Martin ONeill in April he talked about bringing a different attacking approach to the team but results so far have been mixed for the 45-year-old. In truth, he has only managed eight Premier League games in his career (seven at the end of last season earned Sunderland eight points and kept them up) but with 11 new signings joining the club this summer it is clear this is now Di Canios team. The enigmatic Italian is sure to be given some time to succeed, he remains a fan favourite after guiding the club to a sensational 3-0 win at hated rivals Newcastle last season, but he will know at some point his team has to start scoring goals, and hell be hoping his team gets off the mark on Saturday at St Marys. Last seasons top scorer, Steven Fletcher remains sidelined as he recovers from an ankle injury; turning the pressure on the likees of new man Jozy Altidore and partner Stephane Sessegnon to ensure the side doesnt repeat the same mistakes as last season when no Sunderland player, other than Fletcher, scored until November.dddddddddddd These teams met at St Marys last season just three days before Christmas in a tight affair settled by one goal scored by, you guessed it, Fletcher. Di Canio and current Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino werent in charge of their clubs at that time but when they shake hands this weekend they will do so with more than just a foreign passport in common. Like Sunderland, Southampton narrowly escaped relegation last season and also spent big this summer raising expectations amongst their supporters that they should spend a lot more time in mid-table this campaign than near the bottom. Last weeks 1-0 win at West Brom was a perfect start to their season and while Rickie Lambert rightfully grabbed the headlines with a last minute penalty to win the match, the performances of new signings of Victor Wanyama and Dejan Lovren were impressive, instantly upgrading the Saints in key areas. "As opposed to last season, were a much more competitive team now with these two new signings," the Argentine manager said post match. Two days later he secured the services of Roma striker Pablo Osvaldo, who will likely be watching Wanyama and Lovren from the bench on Saturday. To continue the international feel of this match, Wanyama, the first Kenyan to play in this league, represents the 100th different country other than the four home nations to be featured in the Premier League since it started in 1992-93. The central midfielder had many excellent games at Celtic, including a standout performance against Barcelona in the Champions League last year, but that didnt stop some from raising eyebrows when Southampton paid over 12 million pounds for the 22-year-old in July. Former Kilmarnock manager, the outspoken Kenny Shiels, gave this less than glowing scouting report on him. "Any time we played Celtic I would tell our lads not to worry about him being on the ball because he doesnt keep it very well. (Celtic boss Neil) Lennon deserves a knighthood for getting someone to pay £12.5m. We found that when you gave Wanyama space he didnt have the natural instincts to know what to do with the ball." On his Premier League debut at the Hawthorns, Wanyama was steady, guided along by one of the leagues most underrated players in midfield partner Morgan Schneiderlin. (photo: www.fourfourtwo.com - Click For Larger Image) It will be a partnership worth monitoring closely throughout the season. Confident in their abilities to win the ball back against transitions (Schneiderlin led the league in interceptions and tackles last season), the duo will hope to stabilize the Southampton midfield and allow the four more attack-minded players in front of them to create and score goals.
