Don't blame Lescott

Fulham captain and Eurosport-Yahoo! blogger Danny Murphy believes Everton's awful start to the season can't be all blamed on Joleon Lescott.

Eto'o opened his account from the penalty spot 11 minutes into the second half after fellow arrival from La Liga Diego Milito was fouled by Leonardo Bonucci. Eto'o was guilty of missing a glorious chance with the goal gaping 10 minutes afterwards, placing his low shot wide of the post - and he lived to regret it when an increasingly adventurous Bari struck in the 74th minute.

Liverpool Captain Steven Gerrard All Praise For Glen Jonson

Glen Johnson made a superb debut for Liverpool during the 2-1 loss against Tottenham Hotspur, and followed it up with a stellar performance against Stoke City in their 4-0 victory. Presently, the Reds' captain has hailed the full-back for his good showings in a red jersey. "We saw what Glen will offer this team with the run that won the penalty at Spurs," Gerrard is quoted in FIFA.com as saying. "He cut inside and left people for dead. "He showed similar form against Stoke and was outstanding on the right for us." The 24-year-old signed for the Merseyside club after a bid of around £18 million was agreed with Portsmouth earlier in the summer.
