Adebayor brace helps Tottenham down Villa
Soccer Betting Lines
11/21/2011 -
London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Emanuel Adebayor bagged a brace in the
first half of Monday's only Premier League fixture, as Tottenham downed
Aston Villa, 2-0, at White Hart Lane.
The former Arsenal striker opened the scoring with a brilliant overhead kick
in the 14th minute and added another with a simple finish into an empty net
just before halftime.
After Aston Villa failed to clear a corner kick in the 14th minute, Tottenham
pumped the ball back into the box where it was met by Adebayor. The 27-year-
old redirected the delivery with an acrobatic attempt to find the back of the
net and give Spurs the lead.
Adebayor doubled the advantage in the 40th minute after a brilliant cross from
Gareth Bale was not properly dealt with by the Aston Villa defense. The Togo
international capitalized on the defensive miscue and calmly stuffed home his
shot from inside the six-yard box.
Tottenham dominated play throughout the second half, and Adebayor had a
plethora of scoring opportunities but failed to claim a hat trick.
Since beginning the new season with two successive defeats, Tottenham has been
in fine form, taking 25 points from a possible 27. Its last loss came on Aug.
28, a 5-1 drubbing at the hands of Manchester City.
With the win, Tottenham jumps ahead of Chelsea in the Premiership table to
share fifth place with Newcastle United.
Aston Villa, on 15 points, remains deadlocked with QPR for eighth place.

Mayweather picked to beat De La Hoya
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya and his rival Floyd Mayweather Jr. arrived at the MGM Grand here Wednesday amid the pomp and pandemonium befitting two of the biggest stars in the sport who are about to duke it out for the WBC super welterweight crown this Saturday (Sunday in Manila).
As of Wednesday, MySportsbook.com closed its book with Mayweather a favorite to defeat De La Hoya at -170 (a $100 bet wins $70), while De La Hoya is a +140 underdog (a $100 bet wins $140).
Mayweather arrived at about 11:30 a.m. on a big truck with his face and a big "World's Best Pound-for-Pound" sign scribbled across the vehicle. He was accompanied by his entourage made up of rappers and his training team.
A crowd of close to 3,000 eager fans packed the MGM Grand lobby, with their cameras in tow, all trying to vie for position to get a good angle at Mayweather, who is acknowledged as the world's best fighter pound-for-pound.
Eric Gomez, Golden Boy Promotions vice-president, described the fan turnout as "amazing" and swore he had never seen anything quite like this event.
"The crowd was fantastic. Everybody was just too eager to see the two fighters," said ALA manager Michael Aldeguer, who was among those who waited at the lobby together with his ward Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista and AJ Banal.
De La Hoya made his own grand entrance at the hotel lobby at around 12:30 p.m. accompanied by GBP chief executive officer Richard Schaefer and trainer Freddie Roach.
The same group of fans who trooped to see Mayweather also lingered around to get a close look at De La Hoya, who has been secretly working out at a Las Vegas gym for days after arriving from his main training camp in Puerto Rico.
The golden boy then took part in a closed-door afternoon workout with Bautista and Banal. The two, along with Aldeguer and wife Christine, as well as an HBO crew were the only ones allowed inside the gym.
De La Hoya and Mayweather take part in today's final press conference before the official weigh-in this Friday.
Ring Magazine, the acknowledged bible of boxing, reported in its June 2007 issue that 12 out of 20 boxing experts it interviewed have favored Mayweather to defeat De la Hoya, with only 8 favoring the latter.
But Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao said in a recent interview with The Freeman's Emmanuel Villaruel that De La Hoya will win by unanimous decision over Mayweather.
