LONDON -- Mesut Ozil answered his critics to lift Arsenal out of its slump, while Liverpool slumped to a second successive English Premier League loss on Saturday. Jay Novacek Womens Jersey . Ozil, Arsenals record $70 million signing, ended an eight-match scoring drought stretching back into last season, and also set up Danny Welbecks first goal for the club in a 3-0 victory over Aston Villa. The playmakers influential performance came after manager Arsene Wenger said he should not be a "scapegoat" for a trio of domestic draws and Champions League loss. The emphatic win ended Villas unbeaten start to the season, a week after the team stunned Liverpool at Anfield. West Ham inflicted Liverpools third loss in five rounds, beating last seasons runner-up 3-1. There were late goals in three of Saturdays games. Under-pressure Newcastle manager Alan Pardew saw his side stage a late comeback to draw 2-2 with Hull. Queens Park Rangers twice came from behind to also draw 2-2 with Stoke, and Victor Wanyamas 80th-minute goal gave Southampton a 1-0 win at Swansea that moved the south-coast club to second place. Villa started brightly against Arsenal, with American owner Randy Lerner at his first home game in almost two years, before collapsing and conceding three goals in four minutes. Welbeck, who joined from Manchester United this month, teed up Ozil to run through and roll past goalkeeper Brad Guzan in the 32nd minute. Ozil turned provider by crossing from the left flank and Welbeck powered in the ball from close range. Villas capitulation was capped by defender Aly Cissokho sliding in to turn a cross from Kieran Gibbs into his own net in the 36th. At St. James Park, Newcastle fans displayed banners against manager Alan Pardew, with the team without a league win after five matches. What will encourage Pardew, though, is Papiss Cisse making an instant impact on his return from knee surgery. When Cisse went on in the 69th, Newcastle was 2-0 down to Hull after conceding from Nikica Jelavic and Mohamed Diame. The Senegal forward, who had been sidelined since April, scored after four minutes on the pitch, and stabbed in the equalizer in the 87th. "He shouldnt have played today, really," Pardew said. "My medical staff didnt agree that he should be included today -- I think he has trained five days." At Upton Park, Liverpool showed again just how much it is missing Luis Suarez, who was sold to Barcelona in the off-season. West Ham took less than two minutes, through Winston Reids header, to breach Liverpools defence, and Diafro Sakho chipped the ball into the net five minutes later. Although Raheem Sterling pulled one back for Liverpool in the 26th, Morgan Amalfitano latched onto Stewart Downings pass to score in the 88th to secure West Hams first home win of the campaign. Liverpool took until December last season to lose three matches before finishing second, but matching that league position seems a far tougher proposition. But Burnley and Sunderland are still searching for their first wins after drawing 0-0. QPR and Stoke have just one win each after their draw at Loftus Road. Mame Biram Diouf headed Stoke in front from close range in the 11th minute after Peter Crouch held off defender Rio Ferdinand to nod the ball to his strike partner. After Steven Caulker levelled just before halftime, Crouch restored Stokes lead six minutes into the second half, but Niko Kranjcar curled a free kick into the net in the 88th to secure the point.

So he decided to take another route to the hole.The world No. 1 made his first competitive hole-in-one as a professional as part of a brilliant back nine in his second round, acing the par-3 15th from 177 yards to propel his pursuit of tournament leader Martin Kaymer.McIlroy threw his hands in the air and high-fived playing partner Rickie Fowler after his 9-iron landed a yard from the hole, hopped right and trickled into the cup.It never left the pin, McIlroy said after ticking off one of the few things hed yet to achieve in his golf career.A 6-under 66 — completed with a 15-foot birdie putt at No. 18 — moved McIlroy into third place on 11 under, two shots behind Kaymer, to set up a potentially thrilling duel over the weekend between two players who won three of last years majors.McIlroy will do well to dislodge Kaymer, though.The U.S. Open champion followed up a first-round 64 with a 67 to give himself a great chance of a fourth title at the National Course — where he won in 2008, 10 and 11.Kaymer, who maintained his one-stroke lead from overnight, is a strong front-runner — as shown by his wire-to-wire victories in last years U.S. Open and in Abu Dhabi in 08. He is even threatening to challenge his own record low total in this tournament, set in 11 when he shot a 24-under 264.Its one of the only tournaments where you stand on the first tee and you pretty much know you have birdied every single hole, said Kaymer, whose second-round highlight came on his 10th hole when he chipped in for birdie from a greenside bunker.Separating Kaymer and McIlroy on the leaderboard is Thomas Pieters, a strapping 22-year-old Belgian who is starting to fulfil his potential after an impressive college career in which he was NCAA champion in 2012.Pieters, seeking a first European Tour win, shhot a 67 for 12 under. Connor McGovern Womens Jersey. Among the players to miss the cut — at 2 under — in the first tournament in the annual Desert Swing were defending champion Pablo Larrazabal, No. 2 Henrik Stenson and Italys Matteo Manassero.

His first came at the age of 9 and was also a 9-iron, on that occasion from 106 yards at his home course in Holywood, Northern Ireland.But one of the most thrilling feats in golf had evaded him in competitive professional play until he stepped up at No. 15, slightly downbeat after missing very makeable birdie putts on Nos. 13 and 14.He stayed in his pose as the ball drew in, kicked right on landing and took a couple of small bounces before plopping in.I didnt need to get the putter out on that hole, said McIlroy, who walked up to the cup, repaired his pitch mark and scooped the ball out to whoops and hollers from the crowd.McIlroy was delighted with his ball-striking on a day that revived memories of his stunning year in 2014, when he won two majors and returned to No. 1. He has quickly shaken off the rust following time off over Christmas.Ball-striking, couldnt really fault it, McIlroy said. Just really happy with how Im playing.Kaymer is playing even better, though. Out early in benign conditions — sunny and without a hint of wind — Kaymers unforgiving driving and iron play was as strong as in the first round but his putting wasnt as prolific.His bogey-free score contained five birdies and should have been lower, with a 3-footer on No. 6 (his 15th) one of a number of birdie chances spurned.My game feels like theres isnt much that will go wrong, said Kaymer, who is 100 under par for his last 30 rounds on the National Course.Austrias Bernd Wiesberger shot a 65 for the lowest score of the second round.
