Fulham earns draw with United on Hangeland's late header

Soccer Betting Lines

08/22/2010 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Brede Hangeland's header in the 89th minute helped Fulham claim a 2-2 draw against Manchester United at Craven Cottage on Sunday.

The goal came just five minutes after Hangeland put his team behind with an own goal, and only two minutes after Nani had a penalty kick saved by Fulham goalkeeper David Stockdale that would have wrapped up the win for the visitors.

United has now earned just one point from its last three trips to Craven Cottage in the league, and they have already fallen behind defending champions Chelsea, who have recorded back-to-back 6-0 wins to start the season.

Paul Scholes got United off to a great start with a well-struck shot from 30 yards that found its way into the bottom-right corner of the net in the 11th minute.

United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar then produced two successive saves on Dickson Etuhu to keep his team in front, but he couldn't keep out a first-time effort from Simon Davies in the 57th minute that was set up by Bobby Zamora.

Zamora then came within inches of giving Fulham the lead 10 minutes from time with a volley that skipped just past the post.

However, it looked like United would steal all three points when Nani's corner kick deflected off the leg of Hangeland and ended up in his own net.

Nani could have put the result out of reach three minutes later, but he had his penalty kick saved by Stockdale after Damien Duff handled the ball inside his own area.

And the Portuguese winger was made to pay for his miss two minutes later as Hangeland got up to meet Duff's corner and turn his header off the fingertips of Van der Sar and into the net.

Newcastle was easily handled by United in its opener, but the Magpies stunned Aston Villa on Sunday behind three goals from Andrew Carroll in a 6-0 thrashing at St James' Park.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.

Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.

Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
