MANCHESTER, England -- Raheem Sterling offered further evidence of his improvement under Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola by scoring early and late goals in a 3-1 win over West Ham in the English Premier League on Sunday.Fernandinho scored the other goal for City, which has won its first three matches of the campaign to be level on points with title rivals Manchester United and Chelsea.A negative for Guardiolas side could be a second-half incident in which star striker Sergio Aguero appeared to swing an elbow at marker Winston Reid as they competed for a high ball in the second half. The referee was nearby and didnt give a foul, but if he says he didnt see it, Aguero could face a retrospective ban that would rule him out of Citys next game -- the Manchester derby.Guardiola said he didnt see the incident and gave short shrift to the possibility of a suspension for Aguero -- but was much happier to talk about Sterlings revival.The winger, who cost City 49 million pounds ($76 million) in the summer of 2015, lost his place in the team at the end of last season under former coach Manuel Pellegrini and endured a disappointing European Championship with England. He has looked a different player under Guardiola, rediscovering his confidence and dribbling ability.He now has two goals to his name, the first coming in the seventh minute to finish off one of Citys many flowing team moves in a dominant first-half display by the hosts.Fernandinho added a second goal in the 18th minute with a powerful header from Kevin de Bruynes free kick. But it needed Sterlings injury-time goal -- when he rounded the goalkeeper and scored from an acute angle -- to see off a West Ham side that improved in the second half.Of course, we are pleased, Guardiola said of Sterling. He can play right, left, center. He is so dynamic. I am so happy he is playing good.It looked like being a procession for City after a one-sided first half but Michail Antonios 58th-minute header -- a replica of his winner against Bournemouth last weekend -- made it 2-1 and set up a tense finish at Etihad Stadium.Of course we can do better, Guardiola said. No doubt about that. But we are just one and a half, two months here.The defeat ended a difficult few days for West Ham manager Slaven Bilic, whose injury-hit team lost to Romanian side Astra Giurgiu on Thursday to miss out on Europa League qualification.Dimitri Payet, Aaron Cresswell and record signing Andre Ayew were among the key players missing for Bilic.You cant say City didnt deserve to win. Of course they did, he said.With so many players we are missing, I have to praise this team. We cant play much better than we did in the second half especially when you are missing six seven eight players and you play against them.Jimmy Nelson Brewers Jersey .

It wasnt a wholesale change of anything. We just got back to our stuff.It was Brees 21st career game with at least four TD passes and no interceptions, tying Tom Brady for most in NFL history.Brandin Cooks caught seven passes for a career-best 186 yards for the Saints (6-8), including touchdown plays of 65 and 45 yards .Knowing they (the Cardinals) were the No. 1 defensive team in the league, as a competitor you want to accept those challenges and bring it on, Cooks said. As a team, that is what we did. `David Johnson rushed for 53 yards and caught four passes for 55 yards for Arizona (5-8-1). The second-year back became the first player in NFL history to have at least 100 yards from scrimmage in the first 14 games of a season.As impressive of a stat that is, you kind of expect it, Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer said. Thats how good of a player he is.Johnson rushed for two touchdowns, giving him 17 TDs this season and 30 in the first 30 games as a pro.Palmer threw for 318 yards and two scores in a game that clinched the first losing season for the Cardinals in Bruce Arians four years as coach. Arians praised the play of his makeshift blocking unit, but its strong game wasnt enough.Im extremely proud of the guys on the offensive line, he said, and shocked that we gave up that many points.The teams amassed 913 yards, 488 by New Orleans, 425 by Arizona, which finished 4-3-1 at home.Thats a very good offense with a great quarterback, a great play caller, a lot of weapons, very good offensive line Palmer said of the Saints. You dont expect to come in and play the field position game and kick field goals. You have to come in and score touchdowwns, and they outlasted us.ddddddddddddThe teams traded touchdowns on four possessions in the second half before Brees put New Orleans ahead for good, 41-34, with a 4-yard scoring pass to Michael Thomas with 5:33 to play.A moment later, the Cardinals Brittan Golden fumbled and Ken Crawley recovered for the Saints at the Arizona 29. That led to Tim Hightowers 2-yard touchdown run that made it a two-score game with 3:27 remaining.Palmer threw 30 yards to John Brown for a score with 2:19 left, but the onside kick try went out of bounds and the Saints ran out the clock.Brees threw for three touchdowns in the first half, including the two long passes to Cooks.His only bad moment came when Marcus Golden stripped the ball out of his hands and Calais Campbell grabbed it out of the air. The 6-foot-8 lineman rambled 53 yards for a touchdown.CAMPBELLS LAST?Campbell also had two sacks in what could be his final home game for Arizona.Its just the harsh reality that it could be, he said. I really hope its not, but well see how that goes.His two sacks made him the only player in franchise history to have at least six sacks in seven different seasons.But the 30-year-old lineman is a free agent after this, his ninth NFL season. And theres wide speculation the Cardinals wont re-sign him, opting to devote their resources elsewhere.FITZGERALD MOVES UPArizonas Larry Fitzgerald caught seven passes to give him 1,116 career receptions.
