Tweet @SkyFtball using the hashtag #TylersTeasersMartins starting statsI was at Manchester United versus Arsenal on Sunday to see Marcus Rashford score with his first Premier League shot and his first Premier League header.Old Trafford had only seen 20 league goals in 12 games before Sunday - 15 for and five against - so I was lucky to witness the most goals in a game there this season.Danny Welbeck and Mesut Ozil became the sixth and seventh away goalscorers this season at Old Trafford after Christian Benteke, Cameron Jerome, Alex Tettey, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Charlie Austin.Arsenal scored two at Old Trafford in the Premier League for only the second time - the other was that famous 8-2 defeat in 2011.Ozil got his 18th Premier League assist meaning he is only two behind Thierry Henrys record for a season.Theo Walcott played in his 250th career league appearance. At the other end of the scale were Premier League debuts for Rashford, Timothy Fosu-Mensah and James Weir - which makes it 33 players used by Manchester United in the league this season.Young at heartWhat is the average age of Tottenhams Premier League squad and is it the youngest in the top flight? Mark Tottenhams squad has the youngest average age in the Premier League this season MARTIN SAYS: Mauricio Pochettino has received great plaudits for giving youth a chance at White Hart Lane this season.And with gd reason given that the average age of Spurs league squad this campaign is just 24 years and 295 days, making them the youngest in the top flight.Second in the list are Liverpl, with an average squad age of 25 years and 267 days, slightly younger than Newcastle Uniteds (25 years and 364 days).Completing the top five are Manchester United, with an average squad age of 26 years and 57 days - and that could drop if a few of their youngsters start a few more games - and Southampton, whose squads average age is just 26 years and 287 days.Meanwhile, at the other end of the spectrum, West Bromwich Albions squad has the oldest average age in the Premier League this season at 29 years and 236 days, ahead of Manchester Citys (28 years and 233 days). Youngest average age of Premier League squads this season Team Age Days Tottenham 24 295 Liverpl 25 267 Newcastle 25 364 Man Utd 26 57 Southampton 26 287 * This takes into account starting line-ups only and players who have appeared in at least six Premier League gamesStuttering title defencesChelsea won back-to-back games for the first time this season. What is the longest time it has taken the reigning Premier League champions to do that? Simon Chelseas 2-1 win at Southampton on Saturday was the first time the champions had registered successive Premier League wins this season MARTIN SAYS: Yes, incredibly it has taken the champions until their 26th and 27th matches of this campaign to record successive Premier League wins: 5-1 over Newcastle United at Stamford Bridge, followed by Saturdays 2-1 victory at Southampton. They then followed it up by beating Norwich on Tuesday night.However, the record is actually held by Leeds United who had to wait until their 31st and 32nd games of the inaugural Premier League season in 1992/93 to register consecutive victories over Ipswich Town and Manchester City.In fact, Howard Wilkinsons side finished 17th that campaign, just two points from safety, in what was a disastrous title defence by Leeds.The current title holders are second on this list, with Blackburn Rovers third after taking until games 20 and 21 before managing two league victories in a row, a year after winning the Premier League for the first time in 1995.Elsewhere, Arsenal had to wait until the 10th and 11th fixtures of the 1998/99 season to win back-to-back Premier League encounters, although Arsene Wengers side ended up just a point behind eventual champions Manchester United come the end of that campaign.Completing this top five are United, who did not register two straight Premier League wins until matches nine and 10 of the 2013/14 season, David Moyes debut campaign at Old Trafford.Rashford at the doubleIs Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford the youngest-ever player to score two goals on his Premier League debut? Mike Marcus Rashford became the youngest player to score two goals on their Premier League debut after his brace against Arsenal on Super Sunday MARTIN SAYS: Yes, Marcus Rashfords double against Arsenal on Sunday now makes him the youngest player to score twice on his full Premier League debut at the age of just 18 years and 120 days.Rashford has overtaken the previous record held by another United player, James Wilson, who at the age of age of 18 years and 157 days netted two goals in a 3-1 win against Hull City on his Premier League bow in May 2014.There are two other teenagers, Robbie Keane and Kevin Nolan, who have also scored twice on their full Premier League debuts. The former achieved his feat while playing for Coventry City against Derby County in August 1999 at the age of 19 years and 44 days.Meanwhile, the latter recorded his double on his Bolton Wanderers debut in a game against Leicester City in August 2001, when aged 19 years and 55 days.However, the youngest player ever to score a Premier League double was Liverpl striker Michael Owen, who netted twice in a 3-2 home defeat to Southampton in February 1998, aged 18 years and 55 days. Later that week he became the youngest England debutant of the 20th Century against Chile and the following Saturday scored his first Premier League hat-trick - and he remains the youngest Premier League hat-trick scorer!

Craig Spurs head into Saturday lunchtimes north London derby with Arsenal at White Hart Lane ahead of their city rivals in the Premier League MARTIN SAYS: Spurs head into Saturdays home game with Arsenal ahead of their city rivals, a scenario which has happened on five previous occasions in the Premier League.The first time it occurred, in the 1994/95 season, it actually happened twice in the second half of that campaign. On the first occasion in January 1995, Gerry Francis team went into the north London derby five points clear of the Gunners and they had extended that lead to 10 points by the time the two rivals met again at Highbury on April 29. Spurs finished in seventh - five places above Arsenal.In April 2006, Martin Jols side occupied the fourth and final Champions League berth prior to a trip to fifth-placed Arsenal, who at the time were four points adrift of Spurs.The match ended in a 1-1 draw, but Wengers men went on to pip Tottenham to the final place in Europes premier club competition by just two points come May.Harry Redknapps Tottenham, third at the time, enjoyed a healthy 10-point cushion over fifth-placed Arsenal going into the north London derby in February 2012.However, a comprehensive 5-2 defeat at the Emirates helped provide the momentum for Arsenal to end that campaign in third position.Spurs did manage to finish fourth in the table, although they missed out on a place in the Champions League after Chelsea won the trophy against Bayern Munich (and I well remember commentating on that day).Finally, the following season Andre Villas-Boas team were four points clear of the Gunners heading into Marchs derby at White Hart Lane, with the hosts claiming a memorable 2-1 victory to further extend their lead.However, despite that seven-point advantage, Arsenal again managed to overtake Tottenham in the closing stages of the season to claim fourth position by a single point, and with it a place in the Champions League.

With Parker having a quiet game for once, Nicolas Batum and Boris Diaw provided the scoring as France won its first major basketball title by beating Lithuania 80-66 on Sunday.

CLEVELAND -- The old guys are back under center for the Cleveland Browns and the New York Jets, aware theyre not part of the future.So Josh McCown and Ryan Fitzpatrick will do what they can to save the present on Sunday when the Jets (2-5) visit star-crossed Cleveland (0-7).New York coach Todd Bowles benched the 33-year-old Fitzpatrick after the veteran threw 11 interceptions while leading the Jets to a woeful 1-5 start. Geno Smith stepped in with his first start since the 2014 season finale and didnt even last a half, going down with a knee injury in the second quarter against Baltimore.With Smith being placed on injured reserve with a torn anterior cruciate ligament, its back to Fitzpatrick. For now at least.I guess you never say never in the NFL, Fitzpatrick said. You just dont know whats going to happen. It was a difficult week for me and I said that to (the media) and said that to my teammates and everybody, but thats behind us. Its over. Nobody in this league feels sorry for you.The Jets certainly wont get any sympathy from Cleveland, which has seen the habitually revolving dr at quarterback speed up at an almost comical rate. Two months into the season, 49 players have attempted at least nine passes. Six of them are Browns.Yes, six. No other team has used more than three.And now the job goes back to the 37-year-old McCown, who returns for the first time since breaking his collarbone in a Week 2 loss to Baltimore. McCown replaces rkie Cody Kessler, who is dealing with a concussion sustained in last weeks loss to Cincinnati.If (McCown) is out there, it means he is the best guy standing right now, Browns coach Hue Jackson said. Will it be a bst? It is a bst just to have any of our quarterbacks playing right now.Everybody wants to talk about the interceptions, Jackson said of Fitzpatrick. That happens sometimes. People go through that. I think he has gotten himself back upright, and playing and knows what to do and how to do it. He is a big challenge.Other things to lk for as Cleveland tries to avoid its worst start in 31 years against New York and its on again/off again/ on again bearded quarterback:LK WHAT WE FOUND!: After entering last Sunday tied for 31st in the NFL with four takeaways, the Jets defense got two interceptions -- on consecutive Ravens possessions. Marcus Williams had the only other two interceptions this season, and they came in the first two games. New York is now tied for 26th in the leaggue in defensive takeaways.dddddddddddd. Thats after the Jets finished tied for third in the league with 30 overall in 2015.We struggled early on to force turnovers as a defense, but were known to force turnovers, cornerback Darrelle Revis said. We were one of the top defenses in the league last year. Once one comes, they start coming in bunches.LITTLE RESISTANCE: For all the hand-wringing over the quarterback situation in Cleveland, the bigger issue with the Browns is the other side of the ball. Cleveland has given up 400 yards or more five times already and ranks 30th in yards allowed and points allowed. Jackson became so infuriated while watching the Bengals race up and down the field last week on their way to 559 yards in a 31-17 Cincinnati win he reamed out the defense and spent the final minutes of the game with his headset off in disgust.FORTE REBOUNDS: Matt Forte shk off an early-season slump to show hes still got some moves with the ftball. The Jets running back rushed for 100 yards and a touchdown on 30 carries against the Ravens, who entered as the No. 1 rush defense. It was his second 100-yard game with New York and he also caught a TD pass, his first as a member of the Jets.After a solid start with 196 yards and three touchdowns on 52 carries in his first two games, Forte ran for just 164 yards and no TDs on 50 carries in the four games that followed.Whether its running or catching the ball, it doesnt matter if I get 30, 25, 20 (touches) or whatever it is or however it shakes out, Forte said. Im just trying to get positive yards, keep the chains moving, score touchdowns so we can score points and let our defense do what they do.BETTER DAYS: The latest iteration of the Browns has made the playoffs once since the franchises return in 1999. It will pay tribute to better days when it honors the 1986 team that went 12-4 and reached the AFC championship game. More than two dozen members of the 1986 club will be on hand, including coach Marty Schottenheimer, quarterback Bernie Kosar, running back Earnest Byner and linebacker Clay Matthews. The Browns fell to Denver in overtime of the AFC title game when John Elway led the Broncos on The Drive.---AP Sports Writer Dennis Waszak Jr. in New York contributed to this report.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
