LONDON -- Fernando Torres capped off an impressive attacking display for Chelsea by seizing on Manchester Citys defensive blunder in the 90th minute to clinch a 2-1 victory in the Premier League on Sunday. Michael Kors Black Friday Deals . After Chelsea substitute Willian launched the ball forward, City goalkeeper Joe Hart found himself exposed on the edge of the penalty area and defender Matija Nastasic managed to head the ball over his own goalkeeper. In a run that encapsulated his energetic performance at Stamford Bridge, Torres raced onto the loose ball and sent it into the unguarded net. "I dont think this is the moment to say who is to take (blame)," City manager Manuel Pellegrini said. "They scored the goal and we will analyze it in the week." The second half had begun badly for Chelsea when Sergio Aguero cancelled out Andre Schuerrles opener, which had been set up by Torres. But Torres late winner ensured Chelsea ended the weekend still two points behind leader Arsenal, while City dropped to seventh. "We are happy because it is our first win against a contender for the Premier League," Torres said. Although it was Torres first league goal of the season, it was the Spain strikers third this week after also scoring twice at Schalke in the Champions League on Tuesday. And it ensured that two of Sundays goals were scored by former Atletico Madrid strikers -- Torres and Aguero -- in a meeting of one-time Real Madrid managers: Chelseas Jose Mourinho and Pellegrini. The early danger was all created by Mourinhos players. Gary Cahill volleyed over after just three minutes, but both sides were struggling to get sight of goal. Torres threw his body at Ramires deep ball after 28 minutes but was unable to get a shot in. Ramires tried to set up Torres again a minute later, but the end product was poor. Torres brought the ball down with his chest but scooped over with no defenders around him and only Hart to beat. "When you are a player and you make a mistake you are finished for the game," Mourinho said. "After that you saw the best Fernando." And Torres was the creator of Chelseas opener. The City defence couldnt cope with the Spains strikers blistering pace as he rampaged down the right flank before squaring to Schuerrle, who swept the ball in from close range in the 33rd minute. Torres was popping up everywhere, and was only denied a goal by the crossbar in the 37th when he unleashed a shot on the turn from inside the penalty area. "He is sharp, he is powerful, the belief is high," Mourinho said of Torres. "So we are happy for him." In a first half when Petr Cech had little to do, the Chelsea goalkeeper had no trouble batting away a close-range shot from Aguero. But the Argentina striker was on target four minutes into the second half. He ran onto Samir Nasris throughball and got past Cahill before beating Cech at his near post. City kept up the pressure and Javi Garcia met David Silvas free kick with a header that Cech saved. When Eden Hazard went down in the penalty area under a challenge from City defender Pablo Zabaleta, Chelsea appealed for a penalty that wasnt given. Torres continued to search for his first league goal since May, but he flicked a header straight at Hart and lifted the ball over at the back post from Frank Lampards free kick. Cechs feet prevented Silva from giving City the lead, and Torres then produced the winner with the game about to enter stoppage time -- causing Mourinho to launch himself into the crowd behind the bench to celebrate with his son and other supporters. It was Chelseas third straight win, while City has now dropped 11 points in nine games. The only consolation for City is that they remain two points ahead of reigning champion and neighbour Manchester United.

The 30-year-old Moore played in 13 games for the Saints last season, catching 37 balls for 457 yards and two touchdowns.Berea, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - Brian Hoyer or Johnny Manziel? Browns coach Mike Pettine isnt ready to make that decision just yet. Pettine said Monday hell announce on Wednesday who will start at quarterback for this Sundays game against the Indianapolis Colts. He added that general manager Ray Farmer will be in on the meetings. Not ready to make a decision on that at this point, Pettine said. Not leaning one way or the other. Hoyer was benched early in the fourth quarter of Sundays 26-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Manziel stepped in and engineered an 8-play, 80-yard drive that he capped with a 10-yard touchdown scramble. Manziel, of course, performed his money sign celebration following his first NFL touchdown. He ended the game 5-of-8 for 63 yards, forcing the Browns into a critical decision about the teams future of the quarterback position. Michael Kors Black Friday. Hoyer completed 18-of-30 passes for 192 yards and two interceptions before being benched. In the past three games, Hoyer has thrown only one touchdown pass and six interceptions. Manziel, selected with the 22nd overall pick in Mays draft, doesnt shy away from the spotlight. He was fined $12,000 by the NFL for a hand gesture (flipping the bird) that he made in a preseason loss to the Washington Redskins. The flashy Manziel recently made headlines for an altercation that took place at an apartment complex in Cleveland last week, as a fan alleged that the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner and his entourage assaulted him and his brother. The 7-5 Browns enter Sundays game tied with Pittsburgh and Baltimore for second place in the AFC North. wholesale jerseys cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys cheap soccer jerseys wholesale jerseys wholesale jerseys cheap nfl jerseys china ' ' '
