United suffers 3-1 loss at Liverpool
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 07 - 03 - 2011

LONDON: Premier League leader Manchester United stumbled to a second straight defeat by losing 3-1 at fierce rival Liverpool, and fifth-place Tottenham conceded a late goal to 3-3 draw at Wolverhampton Wanderers Sunday.
Dirk Kuyt scored twice in the first half and again in the 65th to complete his first hat trick for Liverpool, ensuring United wasn't able to capitalize on second-place Arsenal's draw against Sunderland Saturday. United, which grabbed a late consolation through Javier Hernandez, remained three points above Arsenal having played a game more. Manchester City, which downed Wigan 1-0 Saturday, is four points further back in third.
Steven Fletcher's late header earned Wolves a draw against Spurs. Tottenham drew level on points with fourth-place Chelsea.
Athletic Bilbao beats Sevilla
Athletic Bilbao moved into the Europa League positions in the Spanish league after beating Sevilla 2-0 on Sunday.
Bilbao's victory ended a streak of four straight losses and took the team past Espanyol into fifth place.
Earlier, Sporting Gijon moved out of the relegation zone after beating Getafe 2-0, and Felipe Caicedo gave Levante a 1-0 win over Espanyol. Elsewhere, Almeria came from behind to beat Hercules 2-1, and Osasuna downed Malaga 1-0 from a goal by Sergio Fernandez in injury time for his team's first away win in 13 months.
Inter Milan routs Genoa
Inter Milan needed a second-half comeback to overturn a one-goal deficit and went on to beat Genoa 5-2 on Sunday.
The result means Leonardo's side keeps up pressure on Serie A leader and cross-city rival AC Milan, which it trails by five points.
Napoli though remains third but slipped further back when it drew 0-0 at home to Brescia and is now eight points behind Milan.
Also Sunday, it was: Bologna 2, Cagliari 2; Chievo Verona 0, Parma 0; Udinese 1, Bari 0; and Sampdoria 3, Cesena 2.
Mainz fourth
Mainz struck twice in the last eight minutes to claim a 4-2 win at Hamburg SV and move above Bayern Munich into fourth spot in the Bundesliga Sunday.
