SPORTS 110301

Kicking off with Football and in the English Premiership – West Bromwich Albion rescued a point away from home when they drew 1-1 at Stoke City.

Carlos Vela’s 87th minute leveller after Rory Delap had opened the scoring for the home side has now helped West Brom out from the relegation zone.

Elsewhere in Europe – in the Italian Serie A – leaders AC Milan crusied to a 3-0 win over third-place Napoli; and in the Spanish League – it was the battle of the bottom-two as Malaga moved above Almeria after a 3-1 home win.

Back home in the S-League last night – Balestier Khlasa and Courts Young Lions battled to a goalless draw at the Jalan Besar Stadium.

It was the Lions’ first point of the season and Balestier’s third consecutive draw.

Looking ahead this evening – Gombak United will host champions Etoile FC at the Jurong West Stadium – where a win for the holders will put them on top of the league.

That tie will kick-off at 7:30pm.

Finally in Formula One – Michael Schumacher admits he is not the same driver he was during his heyday but insists he is still young enough to succeed.

The seven-time world champion turned 42 in January and is about to embark on his second season with Mercedes after a three-year absence from the sport.

The 2011 Formula One season flags off on the 25th of this month in Melbourne, Australia.
