SOUTHAMPTON, England -- Chelseas prolific double act of Eden Hazard and Diego Costa scored in a 2-0 win at Southampton in the Premier League on Sunday, earning the team a fourth straight win to keep in touch with its title rivals.Hazard put Chelsea ahead in the sixth minute when he cut in from the byline and shot left-footed through Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forsters legs.Costa added a second by curling in a superb strike from 25 meters in the 55th, a rare long-range strike from a penalty-box predator.Hazard (five) and Costa (a league-leading eight) are scoring the goals that are fueling Chelseas title challenge under new coach Antonio Conte. Its now 12 points from a possible 12 -- and four straight clean sheets -- since Conte switched to a three-man defense, the Italians favored defensive system that worked so well for him with Juventus in Italy.After 10 games, Chelsea is one point behind Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool, which all scored four goals in victories on Saturday.Hazard was a menace to a Southampton team managed by Claude Puel, the coach who gave the winger his break in football. Puel handed a 16-year-old Hazard his professional debut at French club Lille in 2007 so will have recognized the wonderful technique and close control that led to his third goal in as many games.After running off midfielder Steven Davis, Hazard collected Victor Moses pass, cut inside and buried a low shot that was too hard for Forster to react to.Costa was denied by Forsters feet in a one-on-one chance late in the first half, during which Southampton had more of the possession but didnt really threaten.The Spain striker got his now-customary goal, picking up a short pass from Hazard and darting inside before finding the corner.Southampton was picked off time and again on counterattacks led by the roaming Hazard.Conte will be just as happy with Chelseas solid defensive showing without veterans John Terry and Branislav Ivanovic, who had to settle for spots on the bench.Chelsea is the only visiting team to win at St. Marys Stadium this season, having also done so in February.

Meanwhile, there were huge victories for Sunderland and West Ham over fellow relegation rivals, leaving the battle to avoid the drop up for grabs with the bottom 11 teams separated by just six points. Eden Hazard and Fernando Torres scored second-half goals to seal a fourth straight victory for Chelsea, which climbed above Arsenal and Manchester City in the standings ahead of their games on Monday and Sunday respectively.

Peter Gammons, an analyst for Major League Baseballs network and website, drew the ire of hockey fans on Sunday when he criticized the two NHL teams on Twitter for their physical game the night before. Cheap Air Max Shoes China . The International Olympic Committee released the official list of bid cities on Friday after the deadline for applications had passed. The candidates -- all previously announced in their own countries -- are: Almaty, Kazakhstan; Beijing; Krakow, Poland; Lviv, Ukraine; Oslo, Norway; and Stockholm. Cheap Air Max Wholesale RIO DE JANEIRO -- Together, they helped shove the U.S. from the top of the world in mens basketball.Argentina and Spain produced their greatest generations at the same time, icons who were capable of beating the mighty Americans. They once did in the same tournament -- on U.S. soil.Two of the best teams of the last decade for sure, Argentinas Manu Ginobili said. Last 15 years, I would say.Argentina won an Olympic gold medal. Spain has a world basketball championship.They meet again Monday, maybe too old to be considered gold medal contenders but too proud to be counted out. They know people looking at the gray in their hair -- or in Ginobilis case, the ever-growing bald patch -- think their run is over, and even the Argentines themselves insist their only goal here was reaching the quarterfinals.Kind of like the same situation for them, Spains Jose Calderon said. Youre always saying, `Oh thats it, this is the last tournament and they play again. They play again, and they keep playing. And like I say, I think until you dont see us out there anymore, youve just got to play with everything youve got.They meet in a game with huge implications. Argentina (3-1) is tied with Lithuania atop Group B and Spain has clawed back from a 0-2 start with two straight wins, pounding Lithuania 109-59 on Saturday. But the silver medalists in the last two Olympics still face the prospects of meeting the U.S. in the quarterfinals -- or not advancing at all.Spain is supposed to be one of the best teams in the tournament and now theyre going to be facing elimination if we beat them, Argentinas Luis Scola said. Obviously nobody thought it was going to be like that. Theyve got a team full of talent and I think they were, we all were expecting them to fight for medals, which I think that they can still do.Both teams emerged after the U.S. had been untouchable for a decade following the debut of NBA players in international tournaments. Spain and Argentina knocked off the Americans in the 2002 world championships in Indianapolis, when Argentina became the first team to beat a U.S. squad with NBA players on its way to winning the silver medal.They beat the Americans again two years later in the semifinals of the Olympics before capturing gold, and reached No. 1 in the world. Spain then won gold in 2006 at the world championships, edgingg Argentina in the semifinals, and took home silver in 2008 and 2012 after falling to the U.ddddddddddddS. in gold-medal game classics.It seemed over for Argentina after the latter, when it fell to Russia in the bronze-medal game. Age had set in for the Golden Generation and even Scola believed the Argentines time had passed after they went out weakly in the 2014 Basketball World Cup.But Ginobili returned this year at 39 with Andres Nocioni and Carlos Delfino, two other veterans from 2004, and suddenly theyre two wins from another medal. Nocioni carried the Argentines through much of their 111-107, double-overtime victory over Brazil on Saturday with 37 points.I know the talent of course, Brazil coach Ruben Magnano, who coached the Argentines to their Olympic gold, said through an interpreter. Im very curious this time because apart from their will to win, which is bigger than anything that you can even describe, they (want) to do great things. It doesnt matter if its old or young. They just know about basketball.Spain was considered a medal favorite after winning another European title last summer, but its a team in transition. Pau Gasol remains a force inside, but the longtime backcourt of Calderon, a four-time Olympian, and Juan Carlos Navarro, in his fifth Olympics, spends more time on the bench behind young guards Ricky Rubio, Sergio Rodriguez and Sergio Llull.Refusing to be written off after two losses, they can still write their own ending.I think people want really -- Im not saying really want us to lose, but its been too long for Spain to have this run, Calderon said. Thats why theyve been talking about this generation and all that stuff. We know every year passes by and its more difficult, but we know each other and we know what we can do together. Yes, were older, but were still a really good team.Same with the Argentines, who may have to readjust their goals for their final run -- unless this really isnt the end.Im 36. This is my fourth Olympics, Scola said. I never thought Id get this far and Im enjoying it. Its probably going to be the last. Ill try to make it for 40, but probably I wont make it.---Follow Brian Mahoney on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/Briancmahoney cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
