LONDON -- Premier League side Crystal Palace was knocked out of the League Cup by third tier side Bristol City on Tuesday as Fulham, Liverpool and Sunderland recovered to avoid being embarrassed by lowly opposition. Palace, which has lost both of its games back in the topflight, was beaten 2-1 in Bristol. Sunderland avoided a similar upset by fighting back from 2-0 down at home to another League One side, MK Dons, to win 4-2. U.S. striker Jozy Altidore started the comeback by scoring his first goal for the club before Connor Wickham netted twice and Adam Johnson drilled in the fourth. Liverpool was 2-0 up against Notts County, but the League One side scored twice to force the game into extra time when the hosts re-asserted their authority to win 4-2. Liverpool opened the scoring in the fourth minute through a fine solo effort from Raheem Sterling. Daniel Sturridge then made the most of a defence-splitting pass from Steven Gerrard to put the hosts 2-0 up in the 29th. But County pulled one back from Yoann Arquins header in the 62nd, and substitute Adam Coombes slotted in a late equalizer. But in stoppage time Liverpool recovered its superiority. Sturridge stroked in his second goal of the night and fourth of the season, before substitute Jordan Henderson netted Liverpools fourth. "I think we got complacent and they got some belief," Sturridge told British broadcaster Sky Sports. "They started playing better football, but our fitness from pre-season showed at the end."

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- A jury convicted a former University of Virginia lacrosse player Wednesday of second-degree murder of his ex-girlfriend in a drunken, jealous rage, rejecting a first-degree murder verdict and a possible life sentence. Instead, jurors recommended a 25-year prison term for George Huguely V in the May 2010 slaying of Yeardley Love. They added one more year for a grand larceny conviction. Huguely was found not guilty of four other charges, including breaking and en**** and burglary. Jurors also could have returned lesser verdicts of involuntary or voluntary manslaughter. Huguely, 24, of Chevy Chase, Md., bowed his head during sentencing. Circuit Judge Edward Hogshire set an April court date on sentencing matters before a formal sentencing is expected to be held in summer. He is not bound by the jurys recommendations, but Virginia judges typically heed jurors wishes. Jurors deliberated for about nine hours before returning their verdict to a sombre courtroom. Huguely stood erect, flanked by his attorneys, and appeared stoic as the verdict was read. Some sobs could be heard in the court. Prosecutors said Huguely killed the U.Va. womens lacrosse player after a day of golf and binge drinking, incensed that she had had a relationship with a North Carolina lacrosse player. Loves right eye was bashed in and she was hit with such power that her brain was bruised. She also had wrenching head injury that caused bleeding at the base of her brain stem. A coroner concluded she died of blunt force trauma. Defence and prosecution experts offered different medical opinions on the lethal consequences of her injuries. Prosecutor Dave Chapman, who described the night Love was killed as a scene from a horror show, said Huguely kicked a hole in Loves door to get in her bedroom and left his on-again, off-again girlfriend to die. Huguelys attorneys said he only went to Loves apartment to talk before the encounter quickly turned physical. He said she banged her head against the wall of her bedroom, and she only had a bloody nose when he left. A prosecution witness testified Love, a 22-year-old from suburban Baltimore, smothered in her own blood-dampened pillow. Loves mother, Sharon, tearfully testified during the sentencing phase as Huguely cast his gaze down at the defence table. She described the death of her daughter as "unbearable." "Every year that goes by Id like to know what shed be doing now," Sharon Love said. Loves sister, Lexie, 28, described the absence of her kid sister. "A song will come on the radio and Ill just burst out in tears," she said, sobbing. Her sisters death, she said, "left a large hole and nothing will fill it." In a statement, the Love family said the passing of time has not eased the pain of their loss. "Our hearts burst with ride when we think of Yeardleys accomplishments but our hearts melt when we remember her kindness and grace," the statement from Sharon and Lexie Love said. The defence did not present any witnesses at the sentencing hearing. "No person is the sum of the worst decision he ever made," one of Huguelys defence attorneys, Rhonda Quagliana, told jurors before they began deliberating his punishment.dddddddddddd The jury of seven men and five women heard from nearly 60 witnesses over nine days to determine what happened to Love. They had to decide whether Huguely battered Love to death in a jealous outburst or if his intent to talk with her spiralled out of control and she died accidentally. They also suggested her own drinking and a prescription drug used for attention deficit disorder could have contributed to her death. Besides her facial injuries, she had marks on her chest that suggested she was grabbed and had injuries around her jaw and inside her mouth and neck. Jurors heard testimony from lacrosse players who told of Huguelys escalating drinking problem and public spats between the two. The incidents included Huguely putting Love in a chokehold while on his bed, and one in which Love accused him of flirting with two high school girls. Friends and fellow players said the two were unfaithful to each other and had a fiery relationship. In a police interrogation video viewed by jurors, Huguely said he simply wanted to discuss their sput****, two-year relationship. Huguely admitted he may have shaken her but insisted he didnt grab her neck or punch her. The prosecution painted a much more sinister scenario. Huguely went to her apartment less than one week after he sent her a threatening email about her relationship with a North Carolina lacrosse player. In the email, Huguely wrote that when he found out about the relationship, "I should have killed you." In his closing arguments, defence attorney Francis McQ. Lawrence described Huguely as hulking, hard-drinking jock but no killer. He acknowledged Huguely had an unintended, accidental role in Loves death, arguing for a finding of involuntary manslaughter and a 10-year prison term. "Wheres the intent to kill?" he asked jurors. "Wheres the intent to kill?" Loves death had a statewide impact, leading to legislation that made it easier for possible abuse victims to get a restraining order in Virginia. Last year, the states General Assembly passed a law that expands criteria under which people can seek protective orders. The measure allows people in dating relationships or those who face threatening co-workers to more easily obtain such an order. "Yeardley Loves death resulted in a great awakening for many individuals in Virginia and across the country about the danger that exists in violent dating relationships," Kristi VanAudenhove of the Virginia Sexual and Domestic Violence Action Alliance said in a statement. "It has also sparked conversations at colleges and universities about how to improve policies and services for students experiencing sexual and domestic violence," she said. U.Va. President Teresa A. Sullivan extended her "sympathy and compassion" to the Huguely and Love families. "Yeardleys family, teammates, sorority sisters and friends -- indeed all of us at the University -- continue to feel the loss of this promising young woman," Sullivan said in a statement. cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' ' |
