LONDON - Alexis Sanchez scored twice after creating the opener on Sunday as Arsenal eased to a 3-0 victory over Stoke and moved up to fifth in the Premier League.Sanchezs cross was headed in by Laurent Koscielny inside six minutes, and the Chile forward was on target in the 33rd minute after completing a one-two with Tomas Rosicky.A free kick from Sanchez four minutes into the second half went through the wall and the ball was pushed onto the post by goalkeeper Asmir Begovic before going into the net.It took his tally to 18 goals since joining in July from Barcelona for around $60 million.For the top players its about consistency and not just about being good one week but every week, Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain said. And I think Alexis has done that all the way through this season.He was brilliant again today, got two good goals and set Laurents goal up as well. Hopefully it continues for him because hes having a great season and his confidence is brimming and that helps the team as well.The victory may have come at a cost. Defender Mathieu Debuchy, who had only just returned from an ankle problem, was carried off during the first half with a shoulder injury sustained when falling into the advertising hoardings after colliding with Stokes Marko Arnautovic.Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny, meanwhile, had been left to watch from the bench as David Ospina made his Premier League debut. It came after a week of negative headlines for Szczesny over smoking in the showers after the loss at Southampton on New Years Day.But it was a quiet day for Ospina on a day when Arsenal was in complete control.Arsenal had shown its intent from kick off as Sanchez tested Begovic with an early effort which was curling towards the bottom right corner before being pushed behind.Stoke has not won at Arsenal since 1981 and was soon behind. Begovic pushed an angled drive from Rosicky behind. Sanchezs corner was only half-cleared, and Koscielny played the loose ball back out to the forward. Koscielny ran off into the six-yard box and ghosted in unmarked to plant a firm header past Begovic from Sanchezs cross.Arsenal continued its offensive, with Oxlade-Chamberlain shooting wide after being played in on the right by Sanchez.Olivier Giroud — back from a three-match suspension — was denied by a spectacular flying save, but Begovic couldnt keep out Sanchezs strike.A quick exchange with Rosicky put Sanchez in space on the right. He jumped the lunging challenge of Steven Nzonzi before darting into the penalty area, where he turned Stoke captain Ryan Shawcross inside-out before clipping the ball past Begovic inside the goalkeepers near post.Begovic was beaten again at the start of the second half.Steve Sidwell tripped Oxlade-Chamberlain on the edge of the penalty area. Sanchezs low free-kick took a deflection off Stoke defender Geoff Cameron in the wall which deceived Begovic, who could only push the ball against the post before it squirmed over the line.Arsenal went close again when Santi Cazorla shaved the crossbar with an angled chip. Theo Walcott and playmaker Mesut Ozil, who returned after three months out with a knee injury, also shot wide.At the Emirates Stadium some fans brought signs emblazoned with Je Suis Charlie (I am Charlie), the phrase adopted as a tribute to Wednesdays deadly attack on French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, which started three days of terror around Paris.

Custom Detroit Lions Jerseys .J. -- The New York Jets have promoted Tony Sparano Jr.OWINGS MILLS, Md. - The Baltimore Ravens finally ran into an obstacle they couldnt overcome: a fourth-quarter deficit on the road against the top-seeded New England Patriots.Until Joe Flaccos desperation heave fell incomplete on the final play of a 35-31 defeat Saturday night, Baltimore did a marvelous job of casting aside every hardship in its path during the 2014 season.The suspension and subsequent release of running back Ray Rice, a myriad of injuries to their defensive backfield, the loss of tight end Dennis Pitta and Haloti Ngatas four-game suspension in December werent enough to keep the Ravens from reaching the post-season for the sixth time in seven years.The success we had as a team speaks to our resiliency, our ability to overcome adverse situations, kicker Justin Tucker said Sunday as he and his teammates cleared out their lockers. This is a team that was able to block out distractions and focus on winning games and executing.The secret?Not looking to the left or to the right, looking straight ahead at the next task at hand, coach John Harbaugh said.Alas, there is no next task for the Ravens, who now have plenty of time to look back on a season that never really went according to plan.We had a lot of adversity, a lot off the field, and a lot of things we couldnt control as a team, rookie linebacker C.J. Mosley said.Baltimore (11-7) stumbled into the post-season on the final day of the regular season, but a 30-17 victory over Pittsburgh in the wild-card round provided hope of a lengthy playoff run.The Ravens gave the Patriots all they could handle until the potential winning drive ended with Flacco throwing an interception in the end zone.Thats the tough part about it, defensive end Chris Canty said. Even on that last drive, we felt Joe was going to make the plays that needed to be made and we were going to walk off the field and look forward to going to the AFC championship.Unfortunately, it wasnt the case. We came up short, and thats the end of the narrative for the 2014 Ravens.Here are some significant facets of Baltimores season that should influence the fashion in which the franchise enters the 2015 run:Savour THE MOMENT: The Ravens have several unrestricted free agents, including Tucker, receiver Torrey Smith and running back Justin Forsett.Thats why the team meeting Sunday had a sense of finality.Some will return. Others will not. Newcomers will arrive.That collection of individuals will never be the same, Canty said. We understand the nature of the business, and thats why we try to make the most of it.dddddddddddd. Unfortunately, we came up a little short of our goal. But I couldnt be more proud of a group of men, the character of the guys in this locker room.BACKFIELD IN MOTION: Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome will put a priority on looking for defensive backs during the off-season.Baltimore entered the playoffs with five cornerbacks and safety Terrence Brooks on injured reserve, which explains why Tom Brady threw for 367 yards and why the Patriots were able to win despite finishing with 14 yards rushing.The Ravens, who listed 12 different cornerbacks during the season, finished 24th against the pass.FLACCO SHINES: Perhaps the main reason for Baltimores run of success over the past seven years is Flacco, who again shined in the playoffs despite throwing two interceptions against the Patriots.Flacco started all 16 games for the seventh year in a row. In the post-season, he cut up the Steelers before throwing four touchdown passes in a valiant effort against New England.The only decision Newsome needs to make at quarterback concerns backup Tyrod Taylor, who becomes an unrestricted free agent. Baltimore might not want to give him a raise to stay.FORSETT FUTURE: Forsett ran for 1,266 yards in his first season with the Ravens. Will there be a second season in Baltimore for the journeyman?This is the organization that gave me my first real opportunity, and I would love to stay, Forsett said. Theres a business side to it. Unfortunately, Ive been in the friend zone most of my career; hopefully we can get into a deeper commitment somewhere down the road.Forsett provided stability to a running attack that flourished without Rice, who was suspended for the first two games and then released on Sept. 8 after a video surfaced showing him assaulting his then-fiancee.CANTY SAY GOODBYE?: Injuries limited Canty to only 10 games, including two starts in his 10th NFL season. He will think long and hard about returning for season No. 11.Obviously, the passion for playing on Sundays will never go away, he said. But you have to think about your future, whether you want to take the pounding of another regular season and being able to stay healthy. Ill spend some time with my family, and then well make a decision when we have to make a decision.Canty had 22 tackles and a half-sack in 2014.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Buffalo Sabres Gear Wholesale Calgary Flames Jerseys Cheap Adidas Colorado Avalanche Jerseys Montreal Canadiens Outlet Store Wholesale New Jersey Devils Jerseys Adidas Arizona Coyotes Jerseys Cheap Adidas Boston Bruins Jerseys Cheap Adidas Carolina Hurricanes Jerseys Chicago Blackhawks Shop Free Shipping Wholesale Columbus Blue Jackets Jerseys Dallas Stars Shop Free Shipping Cheap Adidas Detroit Red Wings Jerseys Anaheim Ducks Jerseys China Wholesale Edmonton Oilers Jerseys Florida Panthers Shop Free Shipping Wholesale Los Angeles Kings Jerseys Minnesota Wild Outlet Store Cheap Adidas Nashville Predators Jerseys Cheap Adidas New York Islanders Jerseys New York Rangers Winter Classic Jerseys Cheap Adidas Ottawa Senators Jerseys Cheap Adidas Philadelphia Flyers Jerseys Wholesale Pittsburgh Penguins Jerseys Cheap Adidas San Jose Sharks Jerseys St. Louis Blues Winter Classic Jerseys Wholesale Tampa Bay Lightning Jerseys Toronto Maple Leafs Outlet Store Vancouver Canucks Outlet Store Cheap Adidas Vegas Golden Knights Jerseys Cheap Adidas Washington Capitals Jerseys Cheap Adidas Winnipeg Jets Jerseys ' ' '
