LONDON -- Yaya Toure returned from his Manchester City exile to score twice, inspiring the team to a 2-1 victory at Crystal Palace in the English Premier League on Saturday.The Ivorian midfielder was a surprise inclusion in Pep Guardiolas starting XI, making his first Premier League appearance of the season, and justified his selection by scoring goals in the 39th and 83rd minutes to bring City level on 27 points with first-placed Liverpool.Substitute Connor Wickhams 66th-minute goal briefly made it 1-1 but Palace slumped to a fifth successive defeat.Toures only previous first-team appearance this season came in Citys 1-0 win over Steaua Bucharest in a Champions League qualifier on Aug. 24. His agent, Dimitri Seluk, had been vocal in his criticism of City manager Pep Guardiola, who he said had humiliated Toure by omitting him from the squad for the Champions League group stage.That led to Toure being ostracized by Guardiola, only for the midfielder to issue an apology for misunderstandings of the past.There was also a rare start for long-serving captain Vincent Kompany, but the defender only lasted until the 37th when he came off with a suspected head injury soon after teammate Claudio Bravo clattered into him when they challenged for the ball.It was in the 39th, after Palace defender Martin Kelly conceded possession, that Toures vision gave City the lead. From the edge of a crowded penalty area, he received a pass from Sergio Aguero and played a one-two with Nolito before shooting powerfully beyond Wayne Hennessey -- via a deflection off James Tomkins -- into the back of the net.Palace manager Alan Pardew responded at halftime by replacing Andros Townsend with Wickham and was rewarded when his team produced a greater intensity and Christian Benteke threatened with a header.As it pressed for the equalizing goal, City almost doubled its lead when Joel Ward, after Hennessey had taken the sting out of a near-post shot from Aguero, was forced to clear off the line, but the chance they needed almost instantly followed.With time in Citys half, Wilfried Zaha found Wickham in space and after a slightly heavy touch, the striker ran into the area and powerfully shot under Bravo.The exceptional talents of Raheem Sterling and Kevin De Bruyne on each of Citys wings led the response with which the visitors sought to restore their lead.Citys winning goal came from an 83rd-minute corner, with De Bruyne sending a low cross toward the near post where substitute David Silva dummied to deceive Hennessey and his defense.Toure routinely finished from in front of goal to seal an impressive comeback.Mens Shoes Ireland Online .C. -- Kemba Walker and the Charlotte Bobcats got off to a fast start, and the Sacramento Kings were never quite able to catch up.

Or believe they are even remotely warranted.We were 7-6, played no football games and now were ready to win the Super Bowl? I mean, its like really? So go ahead. Theres nothing else to talk about I guess. So thats what it is, Petersen said Sunday. Thats what we tell our guys. If you want to sit there and pay attention to social media ... then youre just heading down the wrong path. Thats not just what this is about. We have to go play games. Lets talk after game six.Petersen will begin his third fall camp with Washington on Monday and as much as he tries to shield his team from the expectations, they are surrounding the program in a way thats been absent for most of the past decade. The Huskies were ranked No. 18 in the preseason coaches poll. They were picked to finish second in the Pac-12 North Division in the preseason poll. Even running back Myles Gaskin is being listed as a longshot candidate for Heisman Trophy consideration.This is what Petersen was tasked with creating when he left Boise State to take over at Washington. But hes doing his best to temper that outlook at least until the season begins.I really dont think the expectations are one-bit different inside our locker room than they have been since Ive been here, Petersen said. I just dont. We expect to win every game we play. So the outside noise that now might have changed their expectationss that doesnt change anything.ddddddddddddThe biggest news for Washington on the eve of fall camp was the official addition of former Oklahoma wide receiver K.J. Young. The junior transfer from Riverside Community College in California caught 19 passes for 225 yards and a touchdown for the Sooners during the 2014 season as a redshirt freshman. He was dismissed from the Sooners program in the spring of 2015 for an undisclosed violation of team rules and spent last fall at Riverside.While Young is two seasons removed from playing for the Sooners, he immediately adds depth at one of the few positions where the Huskies are thin even with the return of speedster John Ross.To get another player in there that has played at this level and played a lot of football the last few years is a really good thing, Petersen said.Petersen said the Huskies began having conversations regarding Young during the spring and after doing extensive checks -- including conversations with Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops -- decided to move forward with offering Young a roster spot. Petersen had recruited and offered Young a scholarship when he was the coach at Boise State.Weve talked to everybody that we can get our hands on to talk to, Petersen said. Were pretty thorough in terms of whoever were going to recruit. So that process was no different for him than any other of the guys we have brought in here. ' ' '
