LONDON -- Manchester City moved provisionally top of the Premier League with a controversial 2-0 victory at Newcastle while Liverpool stayed in contention with a 5-3 win at Stoke as both teams benefited Sunday from contentious refereeing decisions. Goals from Edin Dzeko and Alvaro Negredo secured Citys 10th consecutive win over the Magpies as Manuel Pellegrinis high-scoring team extended its unbeaten run in all competitions to 15 games. But the result did not reflect the intensity of a game overshadowed by referee Mike Jones decision to disallow Cheikh Tiotes apparent equalizer, ruling that Yoan Gouffran interfered with play in an offside position. Negredo secured Citys win in added time while league top scorer Luis Suarez scored twice for Liverpool and Steven Gerrard converted a disputed penalty. City won its third straight away game to climb one point above Chelsea in the standings ahead of Arsenals match at Aston Villa on Monday. If the Gunners win, they will move back to the top of the table. But Citys successful day was marred by Samir Nasri sustaining a knee injury and having to be carried off on a stretcher after a reckless tackle by Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, who escaped with a yellow card. Nasri was set to undergo scans on Monday, with the club fearing he may have sustained ligament damage. "Nasri has I think a serious injury to his knee, we will see tomorrow. I repeat it was a direct red card," City manager Manuel Pellegrini said. "Its his medial ligament. We will see tomorrow what has happened with him." Pellegrinis team has now won six consecutive league matches and scored a total of 94 goals in all competitions, more than its entire tally for last season. Utilizing its usual combination of quick passing and movement, City moved in front as David Silva released Aleksandar Kolarov on the left side before the Serbia defender sent a low cross for Dzeko to fire into the back of the net for his fifth league goal of the season. But Tiote and the whole crowd thought he had equalized when he fired a stunning shot into the top corner in the 34th minute. The linesmans flag stayed down but Jones went over to talk to his assistant before disallowing the goal, judging that Gouffran, standing in front of Joe Hart in an offside position, was interfering with play. A dejected Alan Pardew shook his head in disbelief while Newcastle fans booed the decision and started to sing "1-0 to the referee." "Were in an entertainment business and the guys hit a wonder goal that Joe Hart isnt going to save," Pardew said. "Im not thrilled with the referees answer when Ive asked for an explanation as I dont quite get how he can disallow a goal of that quality on the technical point he is using. Joe Hart is nowhere near it. It goes through a crowd of City players who are impairing his view." Pardew confronted Pellegrini after the incident, with the Newcastle manager apparently aiming an expletive-laced tirade at his counterpart. "I apologize for that," Pardew said later. Negredo put the game away after being sent clear by Milner. Tim Krul did well to save his first shot but the ball ricochet off the keeper and Negredo shot into an empty goal. At Stoke, where Liverpool claimed its first ever league win, manager Brendan Rodgers acknowledged that his team was awarded a soft penalty after Marc Wilson sent Raheem Sterling tumbling in the box despite little contact. Gerrard converted from the spot to put the Reds back in front after they had squandered a two-goal lead. "I thought it was soft if I am being honest," Rodgers said. "I would call that a Spanish penalty, it is one where the attacker goes into the defender, who does not get the ball, and the contact puts him over. If we get that wee bit of fortune, we will take it." Liverpool trails City by five points and has one more point than fifth-place Everton in the race for the final Champions League spot. Suarez grabbed a brace and has now scored 22 league goals while Daniel Sturridge came off the bench to score after a nearly seven-week layoff with a sprained ankle. Liverpool allowed Stoke to rally from a 2-0 deficit when former Reds Peter Crouch and Charlie Adam cancelled out Ryan Shawcross own goal and Suarezs first strike. Gerrard then put his team back in front after the interval before Suarez gave the visitors breathing space from Sturridges assist. "Daniel Sturridge is a great player who helps the team. It is a long time we did not play with him," said Suarez, whose partnership with the England player had been deadly before Sturridges injury. Jonathan Walters pulled one back to ensure a nervous finish for the visitors before Sturridge secured the win two minutes later when he retrieved the ball near the goal line after his initial effort was saved, juggled it and slotted home from close range.

Despite Barcelona showing the same vulnerability in defence, Messis best performance since returning from a lengthy injury layoff ensured that his side bounced back from a defeat by Valencia in the previous round. Barcelona is now level with Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid at the top of the standings after 23 rounds. Sevilla dominated the first half hour on the Sanchez Pizjuans water-logged pitch and went ahead through Alberto Morenos 15th-minute goal. But as the rain showers turned into a downpour, Messi supplied a free kick for Alexis Sanchez to equalize in the 34th before the Argentina forward blasted in his first goal in open league play since Sept. 28, before his injury. With Sevilla surging forward after halftime, Messi stepped up once more to score from Andres Iniestas pass in the 56th. Substitute Cesc Fabregas capped the win with Barcelonas fourth goal two minutes from time. "Leo always shows up," Iniesta said. "He is one of those few players who can change a game if you give him a few meters, and he almost always does so." Last week, Messi converted a penalty in the loss to Valencia, but otherwise he hadnt scored in the league since returning in January after being sidelined for two months with a left hamstring tear. Messis double on Sunday gave him 11 league goals this season despite his extended absence. Alexis leads the team with 14. Elsewhere, Osasuna beat Getafe 2-0 at home to move four points clear of the relegation zone. Real Sociedad was held 0-0 at its Anoeta Stadium by Levante and the inspired form of goalkeeper Keylor Navas, while substitute Humberto Osorio scored twice as Valladolid came from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Elche. Sevillas players must have wondered how they went into halftime losing 2-1 after bossing the first half on a wet pitch that slowed the ball but not the frenetic pace. Unai Emerys side only allowed Barcellona to create two clear scoring chances, and both ended in goals, while the hosts provoked havoc in Barcelonas box throughout.dddddddddddd "It hurts of course because we had done a good job," Sevilla midfielder Ivan Rakitic said. "But when you play against the best they punish you for any mistakes you make." Rakitic helped to open the scoring by steering a team buildup more similar to Barcelonas passing prowess than Sevillas counterattacking style. He combined with two players inside Barcelonas area before the ball reached Moreno for a shot that flew off Marc Bartra and into the net. Sevilla pressed its advantage and every corner and free kick inspired panic in Barcelonas defence. Carlos Bacca headed Rakitics free kick off the upright in the 20th, and Bacca set up Rakitic in the 29th only to see him stroke the ball wide. Alexis scored against the flow of play when he used the back of his neck to glance Messis free kick beyond goalkeeper Antonio "Beto" Bastos - while appearing to be in an offside position. Messi had been kept quiet until he broke loose in midfield and passed wide for Pedro Rodriguez, who returned the ball for the Argentine to strike a left-footed shot into far corner the net. After halftime, the game opened up and both sides exchanged scoring opportunities. But after Sevillas Victor Machin had squandered a one-on-one and Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes saved back-to-back shots from Bacca and Kevin Gameiro, it was Messi who again showed that he has recovered his form. Messi controlled Iniestas crisp pass with one touch while at full trot and unleashed another left-footed effort that skipped off the soggy turf before bouncing in off the post. "Those who say something negative about Messi risk challenging his pride," Barcelona coach Gerardo Martino said. "The next rival up pays the price, like today." Fabregas scored from close range after Alexis provided the pass, with Sevillas defence in tatters. Barcelonas veteran defender Carles Puyol was dropped from the squad early in the day due to back pain.
