WATFORD, England -- Alexis Sanchez scored one goal, set up another and also earned a penalty as Arsenal used a dominant first-half display to beat Watford 3-1 for its first win of the Premier League season on Saturday.The Chile forward tumbled to the ground in the area after being challenged by Nordin Amrabat, giving Santi Cazorla the opportunity to slot a penalty kick down the middle to put Arsenal ahead in the 9th minute.Sanchez made it 2-0 in the 40th in slightly fortuitous circumstances. Meeting Theo Walcotts low cross from the right, Sanchez fell over while applying the finish but still managed to get the ball past Watford goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes and over the line before it could be cleared.Mesut Ozil then made a late run into the box and headed in Sanchezs pinpoint cross from the left, giving Arsenal a 3-0 lead in first-half injury time.Roberto Pereyra, recently bought from Juventus as Watfords record signing, came off the bench at halftime for his debut and reduced the deficit in the 57th with a powerful shot from a rebound.The win will be a relief to Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, who has come under renewed fire at the start of this season after his team failed to win either of its first games. A failure to sign any marquee players this transfer window has also infuriated some disillusioned fans, although Arsenal is on the brink of announcing the signings of two players -- Germany defender Shkodran Mustafi and Spanish striker Lucas Perez -- before the window shuts on Wednesday.Wenger said the two players have had their medicals.We had to work very hard to get signings done, Wenger said. We have not got any plans for anyone else now.Arsenal started the season by losing 4-3 at home to Liverpool, then drew 0-0 at Leicester.The teams attack looked more potent with the return of Ozil, who was given extra time off following the European Championship.Ozil is not physically there completely, Wenger said, but what we want from Ozil is assists and goals and I hope he can get that this season -- 10 or 15 goals, plus the chances he creates.

Adidas Nmd r1 Outlet .J. -- Pitcher Carl Pavano is retiring after 14 major league seasons. It was a bit of a job trying to explain R Ashwin was the worlds No. 1 bowler.Fifty-six overs for two measly wickets in Rajkot. How could he do this? That too at the start of a marquee series. Against an opponent who was supposed to read spin bowlers about as well as a toddler reads hieroglyphs. Clearly, this Test has been nothing short of a big smiley face sticking its tongue out at every prediction anyone has ever made about it. England are on top, if you didnt know.So maybe it wasnt surprising that after getting no reward with the ball, Ashwin scored a chanceless, effortless half-century after Indias situation had got as dicey as it ever had in the four days of play so far.Still, he could at least have thrown his bat around and got a few nicks over the slips and third man. Nope. Middled pretty much everything. Played beautiful little late cuts and cover drove like a champion.On the fourth day, the one Indian batsman averaging over 50 misjudged length, hit across the line and was bowled. Another trod onto his stumps. With five and a half sessions left, and a lead of 176 still intact, England had gained a substantial opening. Except, Ashwin stood in the way. Probably just to spite them. Or maybe it was to haul his team out of trouble. You decide whats more plausible.The hallmark of a batsman, it has long been said, is how much time he has to play his shots. The slowness of the pitch lent Ashwin a hand, but the ease with which he was picking good-length balls and manoeuvring them into gaps either side of the pitch was just too much. Sure, his stance is like VVS Laxmans. And yes, some of their shots are similar too. The running, definitely. Now he has gone and taken up the role as the rearguard specialist too?India wouldnt have won in St Lucia without Ashwin the batsman. He made 118 off 297 balls having come in at 87 for 4.dddddddddddd They may yet lose in Rajkot but his 70 off 139 meant that might only happen if Englands bowlers can take 10 wickets in two sessions or so. Considering it has taken four days for the teams to bowl each other out, and with the turn expected of the pitch arriving to the party subdued and fashionably late, India have a good chance of keeping the series level despite trailing for most of it so far.Ashwin showed the magic in his hands every time he played the late cut. He also did the one thing that is inextricably associated with a pure batsman: farming the strike.India lost their ninth wicket in the 156th over. England needed six more overs to bowl them out because Ashwin kept finding a single off the last two balls of an over to make sure he was on strike for the next one. He would exploit Rashids drift by coming down the track and taking the ball on the full to find a single at long-on. He met wide yorkers from Ben Stokes with the open face and steered the ball behind point. He left Mohammed Shami with at best two balls per over.Ashwin was caught on the midwicket boundary going for a six off the last ball of the 162nd over. The field was brought up and offspinner Moeen Ali was bowling around the wicket, cramping him up and reducing the chances of working the ball into a gap. He saw the ball was tossed up, he realised runs were on offer, he backed himself to clear the fielder and he went for it. Hmmm. Thats about as batsman-y as it gets.I really shouldve known better and introduced Ashwin as the worlds No. 1 allrounder averaging 47 in Tests in 2016, a series-defining hundred included. ' ' '
