| | Arbuzov leads 2-0 in semis |  WORLD 21st-ranked
Andrew Arbuzov has virtually
put his one foot into the
final, taking a commanding
2-0 lead in the best of five
semi-finals at the Qatar
Match Racing Cup 2012
(Grade 3) at Doha Bay.
Under mostly overcast and
dusty conditions, the action
began at the Doha Bay on
Thursday with strong gusts
baulking sailors from showing
their best. But the day
improved into an excellent
one later as the wind calmed
down.
Runner-up last year,
Arbuzov and his crew Yury
Antipov, Vyacheslav
Kaptyukhin and Alexey
Borovyak defeated

semi-finals after the secondround

breathed life into the Premier
League title race with a stunning
1-0 upset of Manchester
United on Wednesday as
Manchester City romped to a
4-0 win over West Bromwich
Albion.
Just days after United
looked to have assured itself of
a 20th league crown by opening
up an eight-point lead
over City, Shaun Maloney´s
50th-minute winner for
Wigan suggested the title race
may yet have more twists in
store.
City´s emphatic win over
West Brom at Eastlands
reduced United´s lead at the
top to five points with five
games remaining, meaning
Sir Alex Ferguson´s side have
little margin for error in their
remaining fixtures.
United — who must trave... | |
