MANCHESTER, England -- Manchester City needed a late own-goal to beat Sunderland 2-1 Saturday as Pep Guardiolas management career in the Premier League got off to a labored start.The bookmakers favorite for the title, City dominated possession and was leading after just four minutes when Sergio Aguero scored from the penalty spot.But there was no goal rush in its wake as a Sunderland side under new manager David Moyes defended with determination and discipline at Etihad Stadium.Sunderlands reward came in the 71st when Jermain Defoe latched on to a through-ball to score the equalizer.But there was a sting in the tail for the visitors in the 87th, when a deflected cross by Jesus Navas struck Sunderlands Paddy McNair on the head and the ball flew into his own net.Guardiola punched the air with satisfaction at the final whistle.The former Bayern Munich and Barcelona coach could hardly have created bigger shockwaves by leaving out Joe Hart in a move certain to increase speculation over the England goalkeepers future, while one-time team lynchpin Yaya Toure did not even make the squad.John Stones was handed an immediate debut along with fellow new signing Nolito, while Aleksandar Kolarov played in an unfamiliar central defensive role.It may take time for Guardiolas blueprint for success to become evident but it was clear the team now has a different, non-stop approach.Sunderland gave preferred City goalkeeper Willy Caballero an early test but he pushed away Patrick van Aanholts third-minute free-kick comfortably enough.Van Aanholt then allowed City to gain the advantage a minute later when he slid in late to foul Raheem Sterling in the area.Aguero calmly struck home from the spot to get the Guardiola era up and running.City continued to dominate possession throughout the first half but chances were few and far between as Sunderland settled and refused to let the hosts have things their way.It was some time before Nolito went close by curling across goal and Kevin De Bruyne fired wide with a long-range effort.Sunderland also had some occasional moments with Defoe, still a sharp operator at 33, prompting Caballero to rush out of his area to clear and then extending the keeper with an instinctive volley.Sterling remained full of running into the second half and troubled the Sunderland defense as he reached the byline and crossed -- but Aguero shot wide in the ensuing goalmouth scramble.City was made to rue that miss as Sunderland hit back through Defoe. Fabio Borinis pass to Jack Rodwell drew out Stones and the former City midfielder quickly played in Defoe, who found himself with time to stroke the ball past Caballero.That was not in the Guardiola script, but his team produced the required response.Substitute Navas broke down the right and his cross took a fortunate ricochet off goalkeeper Vito Mannone to hit McNair on the head and go in.City almost claimed another in injury time when Kelechi Iheanacho broke clear but his shot was deflected over.

The 29-year-old Baines has established himself as one of the top attacking full backs in the country and was the subject of two bids from United during the last off-season.

BROOKLYN, Mich. -- Joey Logano won the pole at Michigan International Speedway -- and lately at this track, thats been a pretty good indicator of things to come.Its Loganos third pole in 16 Cup races at MIS, and the previous two times he won the pole, he also went on to win the race. That includes his victory at Michigan in June.In fact, three of the last four race winners at Michigan also took the pole -- Logano this year, Matt Kenseth last August and Jeff Gordon in August of 2014.Obviously starting up front here is an advantage for sure when you talk about track position and safety on restarts, being how crazy it is with the low-downforce package on restarts, Logano said. Having the first pit stall is probably the most important of all that.Logano won Friday with a lap of 201.698 mph in his No. 22 Ford. Jimmie Johnson was second in qualifying for Sundays race, followed by Denny Hamlin.Logano has won 17 poles in his Cup career and three in 2016.Johnson won twice early this season but has only two top-10 finishes in his last 10 races, so his strong showing in qualifying was encouraging.All signs are pointing toward progress being made and Im very excited about that. I just want to thank everyybody at Hendrick Motorsports for their long hours and all the time theyre putting in to get a little better in all areas, Johnson said.dddddddddddd Its not just one thing. We have to look at everything globally and everybody in all departments is finding a way to bring a little bit more, and its showing up. I think all four Hendrick cars showed a lot of speed today.TEAM EFFORT: Among Johnsons Hendrick teammates, Kasey Kahne qualified 11th, Chase Elliott was fifth and Alex Bowman was sixth. Bowman is filling in for Dale Earnhardt Jr., who is recovering from a concussion.MIDDLE OF THE PACK: Greg Biffle, the active leader with four victories at Michigan, qualified 22nd.FAST TRACK: Speeds over 200 mph have become common in recent years at Michigan, but Loganos run didnt come all that close to Jeff Gordons track qualifying record of 206.558 from 2014.HISTORY: Logano is trying to become the third driver to win three or more races from the pole at Michigan. David Pearson did it four times and Bill Elliott three times.---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtrister Discount NFL Jerseys Cheap Stitched Jerseys Disocunt Football Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys China NFL Jerseys From China Wholesale Stitched Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Store ' ' '
