Adebayor brace helps Tottenham down Villa

Soccer Betting Lines

11/21/2011 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Emanuel Adebayor bagged a brace in the first half of Monday's only Premier League fixture, as Tottenham downed Aston Villa, 2-0, at White Hart Lane.

The former Arsenal striker opened the scoring with a brilliant overhead kick in the 14th minute and added another with a simple finish into an empty net just before halftime.

After Aston Villa failed to clear a corner kick in the 14th minute, Tottenham pumped the ball back into the box where it was met by Adebayor. The 27-year- old redirected the delivery with an acrobatic attempt to find the back of the net and give Spurs the lead.

Adebayor doubled the advantage in the 40th minute after a brilliant cross from Gareth Bale was not properly dealt with by the Aston Villa defense. The Togo international capitalized on the defensive miscue and calmly stuffed home his shot from inside the six-yard box.

Tottenham dominated play throughout the second half, and Adebayor had a plethora of scoring opportunities but failed to claim a hat trick.

Since beginning the new season with two successive defeats, Tottenham has been in fine form, taking 25 points from a possible 27. Its last loss came on Aug. 28, a 5-1 drubbing at the hands of Manchester City.

With the win, Tottenham jumps ahead of Chelsea in the Premiership table to share fifth place with Newcastle United.

Aston Villa, on 15 points, remains deadlocked with QPR for eighth place.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
