LONDON -- Liverpool had the look of Premier League title challengers again during an electrifying win at Tottenham on Sunday, while Arsenals scoring struggles were once more exposed in a draw at Leicester. Having opened the campaign with a slender win over Crystal Palace and then scrambled a draw at Everton, Arsenal was held 1-1 by a Leicester side playing in the top flight after a decade away. Liverpool, though, recovered from its setback at Manchester City at the start of the week with a 3-0 win at White Hart Lane which ended Tottenhams perfect start to the season. Aside from Arsenal, only three teams remain unbeaten. Chelsea and Swansea maintained their 100 per cent starts on Saturday, while Aston Villa beat Hull 2-1 on Sunday to make it two wins out of three along with a draw. Arsenal has shown in previous seasons it can recover from slow starts to still finish in the four Champions League places, but a push for the title is now expected by the London clubs fans. That could require a late addition to the striking options before the transfer window closes on Monday night until 2015. "We are very active," Wenger said of Arsenals transfer activity. "We are disappointed not to get to get the three points. Lets not put that down to only missing a striker." But with Yaya Sanogo leading the strike force in place of Olivier Giroud, who is sidelined until at least late December, Arsenal lacked cutting edge up front. When Sanogo fluffed a chance it was left to Chile forward Alexis Sanchez to score his first league goal in the 20th minute since joining from Barcelona in the off-season. But Leonardo Ulloa was able to equalize inside two minutes after meeting Jeff Schlupps cross from close range. "I think we lacked a bit of creativity and sharpness," Wenger said. Everything Liverpool did have in abundance at White Hart Lane, having already strengthened its striking options following Luis Suarezs departure to Barcelona by signing Mario Balotelli last week. The Italy striker started on Sunday but lacked his cutting edge on his return to English football 20 months after leaving Manchester City for AC Milan. "You could see his team ethic -- he was pressing, working for us as much as he could. He was very good," Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers said. "Take away the circus that surrounds him -- the circus he probably invites himself sometimes -- and control the background noise and get him focused on his football, and hes a good fella. "Hell make mistakes and he was disappointed not to score, but hell be a handful for defenders. But Raheem Sterling shone as the creative force after putting Liverpool in front in the eighth minute after neat buildup play by Jordan Henderson and Daniel Sturridge. Liverpool took until four minutes into the second half to extend its lead courtesy of a softly-awarded penalty. After Joe Allen was held back by Eric Dier in the area, captain Steven Gerrard netted from the spot. While there was no debut goal for Balotelli, defender Alberto Moreno did score on his second appearance for Liverpool. The left back dispossessed Andros Townsend on the half way line after charged down the left flank before dispatching the ball in the net on the hour.

Result notwithstanding, Sundays game had a very different feel to it.CARDIFF -- Wales gave a two-time defending champions response to a demoralizing defeat by whipping France 27-6 and keeping its Six Nations title defence alive on Friday. So shaken to the core was Wales by its 26-3 demolition from Ireland, the only unbeaten team left in the championship, that coach Warren Gatland warned his British Lions-laden side that careers were on the line under the Millennium Stadium roof. The players answer was a robust performance of power, pace and poise, adding up to a third straight win over France last achieved 42 years ago. "That was the response we were looking for," captain Sam Warburton said. "We knew we had it in us." He admitted playing for their jobs was also an incentive. "We said in the week that we dont want to take our places for granted. We have probably worked our hardest in the last two weeks," he said. Stand-in centre George North scored after five minutes and fullback Leigh Halfpennys boot punished frequent French errors and a second-rate scrum with five penalties that propped up a 20-6 halftime lead. When Warburton reached out to plant the ball on the line in the 64th, the score became Wales biggest win over France at home since 1950. That margin will be vital in terms of points difference in the standings if Wales, which jumped over previously unbeaten France into second place, can stay on track and Ireland lose somewhere. The Irish are at Twickenham on Saturday. Wales performance wasnt assured beforehand, certainly not after lock Alun-Wyn Jones, who captained the Lions in their series-clinching win in Australia last year, withdrew just before the match with a foot injury. That gave a second Welshman, Jake Ball, his first test start beside scrumhalf Rhys Webb, whose zippy pass was a big factor in Wales frantic start. Five minutes in, lineout ball was spread left and inside centre Jamie Roberts drew two defenders. North gave Halfpenny an overlap and he chipped ahead. France fullback Bruce Dulin claimed the ball just before the tryline, but he was accidentally clipped in the head by teammate Jean-Marc Doussain and dropped the ball, which North pounced on in goal.dddddddddddd Halfpenny couldnt convert. He seemed to kick only the hardest goalkicks, and France kept giving him chances, especially from a scrum that Wales eventually got on top of. Captain Pascal Pape conceded the second penalty from a ruck, and tighthead prop Nicolas Mas the third for slipping in a scrum. Wesley Fofana was milked by North in a ruck for Halfpennys fourth, and a tighthead conceded just before halftime ended up giving Halfpenny his fifth penalty. Moments before then, referee Alain Rolland told both captains the scrum was a mess and threatened to dish out cards. He upheld his promise in the 50th, sin-binning Mas and counterpart Gethin Jenkins. By then, Wales was in charge and the outmuscled French had few options. "It was a catastrophic first half, our discipline was poor, and we gave away too many penalties," France coach Philippe Saint-Andre said. "We were totally apathetic in the first half." Dulin said, "They got on top of us very quickly and we couldnt pull ourselves together. We didnt go about things the right way. "We didnt start the game well and they just gained in confidence. After their match against Ireland they really wanted to put their foot down." France had a try rightfully disallowed early in the first half for a knockon, but the backs received no ball and didnt go close again until the 50th, when centre Mathieu Bastareaud slipped North and was stopped just short of the tryline, and couldnt offload to Dulin or winger Hugo Bonneval. The French backs were more involved in the second half, but Wales defence was smothering. Frustrated No. 8 Louis Picamoles got himself sin-binned in the 62nd and Wales took advantage. From a Roberts barging run up the middle, Warburton charged off a ruck and just managed in a double tackle with an outstretched arm to put the ball on the line. With 10 minutes to go, Wales substituted Adam Jones and Jenkins, Ball, Dan Lydiate, Webb, Rhys Priestland and Halfpenny, and all were cheered off as returning heroes deserve to be. ' ' '
