Manchester, England (SportsNetwork.com) - Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie found the back of the net on Saturday as Manchester United claimed its third consecutive victory in league play with a 3-0 result over Hull City at Old Trafford. Louis van Gaals tenure as Manchester United manager got off to a rocky start as the club failed to win any of its league matches during the first month of the season, but van Gaal has since righted the ship as the Red Devils earned an impressive 2-1 win against Arsenal away from home last week. The Red Devils opened the scoring after 16 minutes through defender Chris Smalling and Rooney doubled the advantage three minutes before the intermission when he ripped one into the bottom left corner just inside the post. It was Rooneys fifth goal of the season and seventh against Hull City in his last five games. Van Persie then put an exclamation point on proceedings with a third goal in the 66th minute when he fired home from distance into the top left corner to put United comfortably in the drivers seat. Hull City did little to trouble David de Geas goal as the Tigers managed three shots on goal and kept just 23 percent of possession over the duration of the 90 minutes. The result keeps the Red Devils in fourth place in the Premier League with 22 points, while Hull City stays in 17th place with 11 points, out of the bottom three on goal difference. Elsewhere in the Premier League on Saturday, Liverpool put an end to a five- match winless run across all competitions thanks to a 1-0 win over Stoke City at Anfield. Liverpool has struggled mightily over the past month and has not won since a 2-1 triumph over Swansea City in the League Cup on Oct. 28. Saturdays affair was physical from the outset and the breakthrough came when a cross from Glen Johnson on the right flank was nodded off the crossbar. The ball bounced in front of Stoke goalkeeper Asmir Begovic. Johnson raced in from his spot on the right flank, beat his mark to the ball and bravely went in for a diving header past Begovic to give the Reds a much-needed three points. Sunderland claimed an impressive point against Chelsea, holding the unbeaten league leaders to a scoreless draw at the Stadium of Light. Chelsea had the better of the possession, keeping 66 percent of the ball, and the club remained patient looking for an opportunity to break down the Sunderland defense. But the Black Cats back line held firm to take a point off of Jose Mourinhos club. The only other two teams to hold Chelsea to a point are Manchester City and Manchester United. Arsenal bounced back from its defeat to Manchester United with a 1-0 win over West Bromwich Albion thanks to a 60th-minute goal form Danny Welbeck. The win keeps the Gunners in the top-six with 20 points from 13 matches, two behind United for the final Champions League place, while West Brom remains in 14th place. Joe Cole and Danny Ings swapped goals as Burnley and Aston Villa played to a 1-1 draw at Turf Moor. Cole opened the scoring for Villa in the 38th minute, but the visitors failed to hold the lead as Ings converted a penalty with three minutes to play to claim a point for the Clarets. Charlie Austins 73rd-minute goal held up as the winner as Queens Park Rangers claimed a nervy 3-2 victory over Leicester City at Loftus Road. QPR has struggled all season near the bottom of the table and things started poorly Saturday as Esteban Cambiasso gave Leicester the lead after four minutes. A Wes Morgan own goal in the 38th minute and a goal from Leroy Fer gave QPR the lead at halftime, but Jeffrey Schlupp put the sides on level terms at 2-2 in the 68th minute. Austin then fired home the winner five minutes later to give the Hoops a vital three points in their bid to stave off relegation. Crystal Palace claimed a point away from home as the Eagles battled Swansea City to a 1-1 draw at the Liberty Stadium. Wilfried Bony opened the scoring after 15 minutes for the hosts, but Mile Jedinak converted a penalty kick 10 minutes later as the clubs were forced to share the spoils. Finally in the Premier League on Saturday, Newcastle Uniteds six-match winning streak across all competitions came to and end in east London as the 10-man Magpies fell to West Ham United, 1-0, at Upton Park.

Custom Pittsburgh Pirates Jerseys . -- Packers cornerback Tramon Williams has been fined $26,250 for contact with an official, per NFL guidelines. Dave Parker Jersey . JOHNS, N. DENVER -- Peyton Manning stuffed the football into his helmet and handed it to an equipment man for safekeeping. The connection: Flawless, as usual. The keepsake: Certainly one hell want to hang on to. The Broncos quarterback had an answer for everyone Sunday -- from Tom Brady to the New England defence to anyone who thought he couldnt win the big one. Manning is taking the Broncos on a trip to New York for the Super Bowl after another of his impeccably crafted victories -- this time, a 26-16 win over the Patriots on Sunday in the AFC title game. "Being in my 16th season, going to my third Super Bowl, I know how hard it is to get there," Manning said. Especially this time. Only three years ago, he could barely grip a football as he started the long comeback from surgeries that ravaged his neck and nerve endings. And only 53 weeks ago, he suffered a devastating loss to Baltimore in the divisional playoffs that derailed what looked like a Super Bowl trip in his comeback season. But Manning will get his chance for a second Super Bowl ring, after all. Hell try to become the first starting quarterback to win one with two different teams, at the Meadowlands on Feb. 2 against the Seattle Seahawks, who beat San Francisco 23-17 in the NFC title game. "Hes been remarkable," said Broncos coach John Fox, off to his second Super Bowl as a head coach. "Its unprecedented what he did." After packing away his football, Manning ran to the 30-yard line to shake hands with Brady. A bit later in the locker room, he celebrated with his father, Archie, and brothers Cooper and Eli, the Giants quarterback who surprised Peyton much the way Peyton surprised him by showing up at the NFC title game two years ago. The Indy-turned-Denver quarterback improved to 5-10 lifetime against Brady, but is now 2-1 in AFC title games. "I have a lot of respect for him," Brady said. "Certainly, hes a great player and he played great today." Though Manning threw for 400 yards, it was more dink-and-dunk than a fireworks show in this, the 15th installment between the NFLs two best quarterbacks of a generation. Manning set up four field goals by Matt Prater and put his stamp on this one with a pair of long, meticulous and mistake-free touchdown drives in which nothing came cheap. He geared down the no-huddle, hurry-up offence that helped him set records for touchdown passes and yardage this season and made the Broncos the highest-scoring team in history. The result: 93- and 80-yard touchdown drives that each lasted more than seven minutes; they were the two longest, time-wise, of the season for the Broncos (15-3). The Broncos held the ball for 35:44. They were 7 for 13 on third-down conversions. "To keep Tom Brady on the sideline is a good thing," Manning said. "Thats something you try to do when youre playing the Patriots." Manning capped the second long drive with a 3-yard pass to Demaryius Thomas, who got inside the overmatched Alfonzo Dennard and left his feet to make the catch. It gave Denver a 20-3 lead midway through the third quarter. From there, it was catch-up time for Brady and the Pats (13-5), and they are not built for that -- at least not this year. "We got in a hole there," Brady said. "It was just too much to dig our way out." A team that averaged more than 200 yards on the ground the last three games didnt have much quick-strike capability. Brady, who threw for most of his 277 yards in comeback mode, actually led the Patriots to a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns. But they were a pair of time-consuming, 80-yard drives. The second cut the deficit to 26-16 with 3:07 left, but the Broncos stopped Shane Vereen on the 2-point conversion and the celebration was on in Denver. "Losing is never easy," Patriotss defensive lineman Rob Ninkovich said.dddddddddddd "But when you have somebody as talented as (Manning), who puts in as much work and effort, and has done it for so long, its a little bit easier to swallow." The trip to New York, where it figures to be at least a tad cooler than Sundays 63-degree reading at kickoff, will come 15 years after John Elway rode off into the sunset with his second straight Super Bowl victory. The Broncos have had one close call since -- when they lost at home to Pittsburgh in the 2005 seasons AFC title game -- but what it really took was Elways return to the franchise in 2011. He slammed the door on the Tim Tebow experiment and signed Manning to a contract, knowing there were risks involved in bringing to town a thirty-something quarterback coming off multiple operations to resurrect his career. Even without Von Miller on the field, Elway put enough pieces in place around Manning to move within a game of the championship. Thomas. Wes Welker (four catches, 38 yards). Eric Decker (5-73). Tight end Julius Thomas (8-85). "Its been a terrific group," Elway said as he hoisted the AFC championship trophy. "They worked their tail off all year." Manning knows how to make the most of all the options hes been given. This game started getting out of hand at about the same time Patriots cornerback Aqib Talib went out with a knee injury. Nobody else could cover Thomas, and Manning, who finds mismatches even under the toughest of circumstances, found this one quickly. "Talibs an excellent player," Manning said, "but Demaryius was going to be a big part of the game plan, either way." Thomas finished with seven catches for 134 yards, including receptions of 26 and 27 yards that set up a field goal for a 13-3 lead before the half. Denver got the ball to start the third quarter and Manning hit Thomas for 15 and 4 yards as part of the 80-yard, 7:08 touchdown drive that gave Denver the 17-point lead. It was 23-3 before Brady began the comeback that came up short. "Peyton Manning is Peyton Manning," Patriots defensive end Andre Carter said. "Hes a smart player and able to make adjustments when he needs to." New England came up a win short of the Super Bowl for the second straight year. The thought this week was that Bill Belichicks team was playing with house money, having well exceeded expectations for a team that lost a number of stars -- Aaron Hernandez, Wes Welker, Rob Gronkowski -- and has been plagued by injuries all year. But a loss is a loss and facts are facts. Belichick is stuck on three titles and hasnt won one since the NFL busted him for the Spygate videotaping scandal. "There were a lot of opportunities in the game that, if we were able to coach better, play better, execute better in any of those areas, it would have given us a chance," Belichick said. Manning said Belichick is the best coach hes ever had to go against. The quarterback insisted this weeks showdown against Brady was more Broncos vs. Patriots than Manning vs. Brady. He lets others decide whos the greatest at this or that. But he earned a chance to improve on his already-sterling legacy -- one that figures to leave him holding his fifth MVP trophy come Super Bowl week. A win at MetLife Stadium in two weeks would put him in the same company brother Eli, along with Elway, Roger Staubach and a few others as a two-time Super Bowl winner. Two weeks for Manning to prepare might feel like a lifetime. At times, his long, difficult comeback has felt like a lifetime, too. "Weve definitely come a long way in two years," Manning said. "And bouncing back from last years playoff loss to put ourselves in this position, it definitely feels very gratifying."
