LONDON -- Chelsea took until the sixth minute of stoppage time to salvage a draw against West Bromwich Albion, while Liverpool and Southampton turned on the style with four-goal wins in the English Premier League on Saturday. Luis Suarezs double powered Liverpool to a 4-0 victory over Fulham, and Southampton easily overcame Hull 4-1 to continue the south coast clubs impressive start to the season. Liverpool and Southampton sent Chelsea down to fourth place as the west London club was held to 2-2 at home. Goals from Shane Long and Stephane Sessegnon put West Brom on course for a first win at Chelsea in 35 years until Steven Reid was penalized for fouling Ramires in the fourth minute of stoppage time and Eden Hazard equalized from the penalty spot. Arsenal will finish the weekend top of the standings regardless of whether the north London club can win at Manchester United on Sunday, given its two-point lead over Liverpool. Chelsea is four points behind the front-runners, although it could have been worse for Jose Mourinho. The Portuguese managers 65-game unbeaten league home record at Chelsea was looking under threat until referee Andre Marriner pointed to the spot in stoppage time. Chelsea had gone in front through a moment of good fortune. Hazard cut in from the left and saw his shot parried by Boaz Myhill. West Brom defender Liam Ridgewell then dithered and remained static, leaving Samuel Etoo to score his third goal of the week. The second half began brightly for West Brom, with Long heading against the outside of the post and then finding the target on the hour. From Morgan Amalfitanos corner, Gareth McAuleys powerful header was pushed high into the air by Cech. As the ball came back down, Long rose to head it in. Eight minutes later, West Brom was in front -- as Ridgewell made up for the blunder that allowed Chelsea to go in front. After breaking down the left flank, Ridgewell fed Sessegnon, whose shot easily beat Cech. In front, but never comfortable, West Brom had to soak up sustained Chelsea pressure to protect the lead. "Our reaction could be die or fight for life," Mourinho said. "And our team fought for life." Fortune favoured Chelsea with the late penalty won by Ramires. "He started going down early, he started going down before the contact," said West Brom manager Steve Clarke, Mourinhos assistant at Chelsea during his first stint in charge from 2004-07. At Anfield, Fulham gifted Liverpool the lead when Fernando Amorebieta headed the ball inadvertently into his own goal in the 23rd minute after Steven Gerrard sent a free kick into the penalty area. Three minutes later there was another goal, from another header -- this time from a Liverpool player as defender Martin Skrtel met Gerrards corner. Suarez, who initially thought he diverted Amorebietas header into the goal, then did get on the scoresheet by slotting home in the 36th. The Uruguay striker took his tally to eight goals in six league matches since returning from a 10-game biting ban by wrapping up the win in the 54th after Gerrard turned provider again. Southampton is just a point behind Liverpool. Morgan Schneiderlin headed Southampton in front after 16 minutes against Hull after being set up by Adam Lallana, who then won a penalty after being brought down by goalkeeper Steve Harper. Rickie Lambert converted from the spot on the half hour, before Lallana scored a goal of his own seven minutes later, a fine solo effort after jinking through the defence. Yannick Sagbo pulled one back for Hull from distance early in the second half but Steven Davis completed the comfortable Southampton win in the 88th after meeting Nathaniel Clynes cross. At Villa Park, Aston Vilas four-game scoring drought ended when Leandro Bacuna and Libor Kozak clinched a 2-0 win over Cardiff. There were no goals, though, at Selhurst Park as bottom-place Crystal Palace held fifth-place Everton to end a seven-match losing run. Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard started despite hitting his head before the game when he walked into the wing mirror of the team bus. Norwich staged a second-half comeback to beat West Ham 3-1 and ease the immediate pressure on manager Chris Hughton. Norwich was booed off by its fans at halfltime at 1-0 down but was a much more cohesive unit after the break. Kobe Bryant Lakers Jersey .

Pujols homered leading off the 19th inning, and the Angels outlasted the Boston Red Sox 5-4 on Saturday night in the longest game in the major leagues this season. Pujols 514th career homer and 22nd of the season came on a 3-2 pitch from Brandon Workman (1-6). The towering drive disappeared into the seats above the 18-foot wall in right-centre. "I had the opportunity twice to give the team the lead and I didnt come through, but you just need to stay positive all the time and look for a pitch to hit," Pujols said following a 6-hour, 31-minute marathon in which both teams used nine pitchers, and 558 pitches were thrown. "I did, and I put my best swing of the second half on it." Boston manager John Farrell made a replay challenge, claiming there was fan interference, but the home run stood. The Angels had run out of relievers, so Matt Shoemaker (10-4) came in and retired all nine batters he faced to get the victory. The Angels tied the game in both the eighth and 14th innings. After David Ortiz gave Boston a 4-3 lead in the 14th with a sacrifice fly, the Angels loaded the bases with none out against Junichi Tazawa. Mike Trout drove in the tying run with a fielders choice grounder that scored pinch-hitter Chris Iannetta, who opened the inning with a double. "That tells you something about this ballclub," Pujols said. "We could have easily just say, Forget it after David Ortizs sacrifice fly and just come back tomorrow. But Chris came back a hit a huge double and we ended up tying the game. "A game like this can hopefully turn things around for us. And if thats the case, its worth it to pllay 19 innings.dddddddddddd" Clay Buchholz, who gave up seven runs in each of his previous starts and threw a season-high 114 pitches last Sunday against the Yankees, took a 3-2 lead into the eighth. But Trout drove the right-handers 115th pitch into the seats in right-centre with one out for his 26th home run, and just his second in 17 games. "As hard-fought as we played this game -- as did they -- sometimes extended games can feel like two losses when you come out on the short end," Farrell said. "But I couldnt have been more proud of the way our guys battled through 19 innings." Five days after beating the Dodgers 5-0 for his first major league shutout, Angels starter Garrett Richards took a no-hitter into the seventh inning before Dustin Pedroia broke it up with a leadoff single. It was the first of three straight hits, followed by two infield errors that helped Boston pull ahead 3-2. Until then, Richards hadnt allowed an unearned run all season. The 26-year-old right-hander from nearby Riverside was charged with three runs -- one earned -- and three hits in 6 2-3 innings in his first career start against Boston. TRAINERS ROOM Red Sox: Catcher David Ross, who hasnt played since Aug. 1 because of plantar fasciitis in his right foot, appears on course to be activated on Aug. 17 when he is eligible to come off the disabled list. Angels: reliever Joe Thatcher, who has missed seven games with a sprained left ankle, isnt expected back from the DL until the Angels host Oakland in a pivotal four-game series from Aug. 28-31. ON DECK Red Sox right-hander Rubby De La Rosa (3-4, 3.43 ERA) opposes Angels lefty Hector Santiago (3-7, 3.84 ERA) in the series finale Sunday. Santiago lost both of his starts against Boston last year while pitching for the Chicago White Sox. ' ' '
