Tottenham - Man City. Czy którejś z tych drużyn...
hmmmm ... kiedy City wygralo z Liverpoolem ? bo cos kojarze ze byl remis 2-2
;-)
Four second half goals saw Manchester City hold Liverpool to a 2-2 draw in a
pulsating encounter at Anfield.
Martin Skrtel deservedly opened the scoring five minutes into the second
period when the commanding centre-back poked an inviting Steven Gerrard centre
into the Anfield Road End net to claim his first ever strike for the club.
But Emmanuel Adebayor levelled for the visitors with a glancing header from a
corner with just over twenty minutes remaining on the clock.
The two teams then traded goals within the space of a minute as Stephen
Ireland tapped City into the lead, but Yossi Benayoun instantly equalised for
Liverpool, tucking home from close quarters after good work by David Ngog to
secure a point for Rafa Benitez's side.
Liverpool were able to name Gerrard in their starting XI for the first time
since mid-October, and the Reds' squad was also bolstered by the presence of
Benayoun, Albert Riera, Fabio Aurelio and Nabil El Zhar on the substitutes'
bench - but Glen Johnson was absent.
The game got underway with Liverpool determined to put a run of one win in
nine matches firmly behind them, whilst also denting City's aspirations of
breaking into the top four come May.
With strong wind and rain swirling around inside Anfield, the Reds made a
promising opening and Skrtel forced a fine early save from Shay Given with a
powerful header from Gerrard's free-kick.
The chance came at a cost to the home side, however, as Daniel Agger was
stretchered from the field after a clash of heads with City centre-back Kolo
Toure as the pair both attempted to reach the initial ball into the area.
With the defender unable to resume, Sotirios Kyrgiakos was introduced into the
action after just eleven minutes, but not before Pepe Reina palmed a Gareth
Barry header to safety with the home side down to ten men.
Fresh from helping his country reach the 2010 World Cup finals at the expense
of Ukraine in midweek, it was the Greek's first run out at Anfield since his
summer switch from AEK Athens.
But injuries have plagued Liverpool's campaign so far, and the problem showed
no signs of letting up when Ryan Babel hobbled off on 17 minutes after failing
to recover from a strong challenge by Nigel De Jong.
Benayoun was his replacement and with Holland's assistant manager Philip Cocu
watching on from the directors' box, it was also something a personal blow for
the 22-year-old who had started the game brightly on the left.
As the half-hour mark loomed, Liverpool threatened again as Gerrard smashed a
volley narrowly over the crossbar at the second attempt after his initial
effort from Kuyt's flick had been blocked by Toure.
Soon after, Kuyt saw a strike of his own deflected for a corner via Wayne
Bridge, and from the resulting flag kick, Benayoun diverted the ball
harmlessly wide on the stretch.
City had rarely looked like troubling Reina, and the No.25 remained unemployed
when Shaun Wright-Phillips skewed wide from the corner from the box.
With Lucas Leiva and Javier Mascherano in control of midfield, the Reds
continued to probe, but the City rearguard stood firm, even with six minutes
of first half injury time played.
The second period began in similar fashion and Gerrard's drive from Kuyt's
cutback was well blocked by Joleon Lescott in the opening exchanges.
But the deadlock was finally broken on 50 minutes as Skrtel got ahead of
Adebayor to prod Gerrard's dangerous free-kick from the left beyond Given at
close-range with his right boot.
It was the Slovak's first goal for Liverpool in his 65th appearance, and the
defender's joy was clear for all to see.
City's response saw a succession of set-pieces pumped into the Reds' box and
it was from a corner that they forced their way back into the game on 69 minutes.
Adebayor atoned for his earlier error by meeting Craig Bellamy's inswinger
with a glancing header to beat Reina from an unmarked position.
City took the lead seven minutes later when Wright-Phillips spun beyond
Kyrgiakos and slid the ball across goal for Ireland to tap home.
Their lead lasted less than a minute as Liverpool responded instantly.
Benayoun stole a march on the visitors' defenders to slip Ngog's inviting
right wing cross to the back post into an unguarded net.
Both sides pressed in search of a winner, with Lucas coming closest with a
stoppage-time header, but neither were able to find the decisive strike and
the Reds were forced to settle for a second consecutive 2-2 Anfield draw.

Keep Islamic law out of Canada, Quebec politicians urge
Minister suggests province reject; Muslim immigrants who favour system
MIKE DE SOUZA
The Gazette
March 11, 2005
Islamic law has no place in Quebec or the rest of Canada, a provincial
cabinet minister and several MNAs said yesterday.
With the Ontario government expected to decide shortly on whether to allow
the Islamic legal code, known as sharia, to be applied to settle family
disputes among Muslims, Liberal and Parti Quebecois MNAs warned yesterday
that using sharia would lead to blatant violations of women's rights.
"I think all political parties in Quebec must say loud and clear that not
only do we not want it in Quebec, we don't want it in Ontario and we don't
want it in Canada," International Relations Minister Monique Gagnon-Tremblay
said at a conference.
The former immigration minister said Quebec should refuse immigrants who
believe the Islamic system should be applied.
"We must rework the social contract (for immigrants) so that the people -
Muslims who want to come to Quebec and who do not respect women's rights or
who do not respect whatever rights may be in our Civil Code - stay in their
country and not come to Quebec, because that's unacceptable."
"On the other hand, if people want to come to Quebec and accept our way of
doing things and our rights, in that instance they will be welcome and we
will help them integrate."
Sharia is canonical law based on the teachings of the Koran.
Ontario's attorney-general is studying a report, made public in December,
that recommends sharia be allowed to settle family disputes.
But in an hour-long presentation, Liberal MNA Fatima Houda-Pepin argued
Islamic law would infringe on women's rights and open the door to polygamy.
"We've seen sharia at work in Iran. We've seen it at work in Afghanistan,
with the odious Taliban regime. We've seen it in Sudan, where the hands of
hundreds of innocent people were cut off. We've seen it in Nigeria with
attempts at stoning," she said.
Salam Elmenyawi, chairperson of the Muslim Council of Montreal, was outraged
when told about the comments made at the conference.
"When you talk like that, you are attacking me and my faith," he said in a
phone interview. "This is total ignorance. Bigotry and ignorance have no
limits."
But Houda-Pepin, who was raised a Muslim, also warned that the public should
make an effort to get to know those in the community who are lobbying for
application of sharia.
"One of the strengths of Islamists is that they know you very well. They know
our history, they know our culture, they know our justice system, the Charter
of Rights," she said.
She said those lobbyists are trying to impose a political agenda, not
necessarily a religious one.
"Their objective is not to integrate into Canada, it is to integrate Canada
to their values," she said, acknowledging sharia is interpreted in a more
liberal fashion in such countries as Morocco as opposed to Saudi Arabia, for
example.
Elmenyawi suggested Houda-Pepin was posing as a representative of the Muslim
community when she does not speak for it.
He said the Islamic community in Montreal is looking at creating family
tribunals, independent of the courts, to settle religious issues and to
protect the rights of both women and men. It is an internal debate that has
nothing to do with Quebec's Civil Code, he said.
Parti Quebecois MNAs who attended the conference showed support for Houda-
Pepin and suggested a joint motion in the National Assembly urging Ontario
and other jurisdictions in North America not to apply sharia.
But provincial Justice Minister Yvon Marcoux said any decision made by
Ontario to allow sharia would have no impact on what the Quebec government
already has decided to do.
"Certainly not in Quebec. The door is closed, and it will remain closed," he
said in an interview.
The Action democratique du Quebec, which was unable to send a representative
to the conference, did not want to commit to supporting any motion.
"We certainly are against application of sharia in Quebec, but we can't
necessarily start telling other provinces what to do," ADQ spokesperson Jean-
Nicolas Gagne said.
