guide West Ham to a 3-1 win over Swansea

MANCHESTER, England - Andy Carroll displayed the attributes that once made him one of the worlds most expensive players to guide West Ham to a 3-1 win over Swansea and third place in the English Premier League on Sunday.The tall England striker scored two headed goals and also flicked on a long ball for Diafra Sakho to grab a third as West Ham came from behind at Upton Park for a third win in eight days.Carroll is returning to full fitness after a long injury layoff, with towering performances like this showing why Liverpool spent 35 million pounds (then $56 million) on him in 2011.Ive played a few games and I have felt like I am back, said Carroll, back on the scoresheet for the first time since March. Obviously, until you score, you dont feel youre definitely back and now Ive got two today, it means a great deal.West Ham has been one of the surprising teams in England, reinvented under Sam Allardyce after he was told by the clubs owners that his team needed to be more entertaining this season.Aston Villa also rallied Sunday to beat bottom side Leicester 2-1 and seal back-to-back wins that lifted the team clear of relegation trouble and into 11th place.Right back Alan Hutton volleyed in the winner in the 71st minute after Ciaran Clark cancelled Leonardo Ulloas 13th-minute opener for Leicester, which is four points from safety.It never rains, it pours, said Leicester manager Nigel Pearson, who is under pressure with his team losing seven of its last eight games and without a win since Sept. 21.Leicester had left back Paul Konchesky sent off in the 80th minute after a scuffle with Hutton, capping a feisty game that saw two players — Ulloa and Villas Ashley Westwood — go off injured.At Upton Park, Swansea went ahead in the 19th through Wilfried Bonys seventh goal of the season, only for Carroll to leap and meet a right-wing cross with a header into the top corner in the 41st.Carroll headed in Stewart Downings corner for 2-1 in the 66th and glanced on a goalkeepers clearance for Sakho to nip in front of Swanseas static defence and smash home a rising finish, also his seventh of the campaign.Asked if it was Carrolls best display since joining West Ham in August 2012, initially on loan, Allardyce said: I have to say it was very close to it.His movement and the quality of our balls into the box is very apparent.Swansea goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski was sent off in the 68th for fouling Sakho as the striker surged through on goal. The score was 2-1 at the time.West Ham, which is six points behind second-place Manchester City, would be bumped down to fourth by the winner of Mondays match between Southampton and Manchester United.

Authentic Bulls Jerseys . After a first half in which he thought "the lid was on the basket," the Toronto Raptors coach watched his squad mount a second half surge to defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers 98-91.PHILADELPHIA -- The Canucks say they are happy picking sixth in the NHL draft as it stands now but that hasnt stopped new GM Jim Benning from making calls. "We think at six were going to get a real good player that we like, but up until (Friday) when the draft starts well keep inquiring and seeing what it takes to move up and if weve got the assets to make it happen," Benning said Thursday on the eve of the draft. Benning has a major asset to dangle in the form of centre Ryan Kesler. "Were talking to teams, but at the end of the day were going to do what makes sense to us and to try to help Ryan out," Benning said. "If we dont think we can get a fair deal for him, then were going to keep him and hes a Vancouver Canuck. And were happy to have him back because hes a great player." Kesler has reportedly given the Canucks a list of potential teams he would join, with some suggesting that list is growing shorter. Benning says dealing with a smaller pool of potential trade partners is more difficult but "that is what it is." "Were talking to the agent on a daily basis annd were talking to teams and were hoping to figure something out thats hes happy with and were happy with.dddddddddddd" Kesler had 25 goals and 18 assists in 77 games last season. "If were going to go down that path, we want to try to get NHL-calibre players back to help with that," Benning said of losing Keslers offence. Asked about looking for a veteran goalie, Benning said: "Were going to look at all of our options on that." "Weve said before were happy with the progress that Eddie (Lack) made last year. But as free agency comes up, were going to look at options and then if it makes sense for us, well do that." The Canucks also have Jacob Markstrom in goal. Benning said he is not hung up about trades within his own conference. "I dont think that has any bearing on what were trying to do in Vancouver," he said. "We want to try to get some younger players here this next few years going forward. We have (forward) Bo Horvat who we drafted last year and were going to have the sixth pick this year. So were getting some building blocks."
