MANCHESTER, England -- Manchester City needed a late own-goal to beat Sunderland 2-1 Saturday as Pep Guardiolas management career in the Premier League got off to a labored start.The bookmakers favorite for the title, City dominated possession and was leading after just four minutes when Sergio Aguero scored from the penalty spot.But there was no goal rush in its wake as a Sunderland side under new manager David Moyes defended with determination and discipline at Etihad Stadium.Sunderlands reward came in the 71st when Jermain Defoe latched on to a through-ball to score the equalizer.But there was a sting in the tail for the visitors in the 87th, when a deflected cross by Jesus Navas struck Sunderlands Paddy McNair on the head and the ball flew into his own net.Guardiola punched the air with satisfaction at the final whistle.The former Bayern Munich and Barcelona coach could hardly have created bigger shockwaves by leaving out Joe Hart in a move certain to increase speculation over the England goalkeepers future, while one-time team lynchpin Yaya Toure did not even make the squad.John Stones was handed an immediate debut along with fellow new signing Nolito, while Aleksandar Kolarov played in an unfamiliar central defensive role.It may take time for Guardiolas blueprint for success to become evident but it was clear the team now has a different, non-stop approach.Sunderland gave preferred City goalkeeper Willy Caballero an early test but he pushed away Patrick van Aanholts third-minute free-kick comfortably enough.Van Aanholt then allowed City to gain the advantage a minute later when he slid in late to foul Raheem Sterling in the area.Aguero calmly struck home from the spot to get the Guardiola era up and running.City continued to dominate possession throughout the first half but chances were few and far between as Sunderland settled and refused to let the hosts have things their way.It was some time before Nolito went close by curling across goal and Kevin De Bruyne fired wide with a long-range effort.Sunderland also had some occasional moments with Defoe, still a sharp operator at 33, prompting Caballero to rush out of his area to clear and then extending the keeper with an instinctive volley.Sterling remained full of running into the second half and troubled the Sunderland defense as he reached the byline and crossed -- but Aguero shot wide in the ensuing goalmouth scramble.City was made to rue that miss as Sunderland hit back through Defoe. Fabio Borinis pass to Jack Rodwell drew out Stones and the former City midfielder quickly played in Defoe, who found himself with time to stroke the ball past Caballero.That was not in the Guardiola script, but his team produced the required response.Substitute Navas broke down the right and his cross took a fortunate ricochet off goalkeeper Vito Mannone to hit McNair on the head and go in.City almost claimed another in injury time when Kelechi Iheanacho broke clear but his shot was deflected over.

South Sydney will be using John Suttons 250th game milestone as added motivation for breaking their four-game losing streak and beginning their climb up the NRL ladder.A league powerhouse in recent years, the 13th-placed Rabbitohs face the daunting task of winning seven of their remaining nine games of the regular season just to hit the magical 28-point mark and make the finals.Its an equation made tougher by meeting reigning premiers North Queensland in Cairns on Sunday, however star forward Sam Burgess says Suttons milestone will give them added drive to turn their fortunes around.Sutton, 31, will become the first player in club history to crack the 250-game mark.Especially with the history and how long the clubs been going, its just a credit to John, Burgess said at Redfern Oval on Thursday.With how tough the game is today, what it demands on the body, to put in 250 at one club is fantastic.Hes been through some of the tough years, some of the worst years at Souths, and hes experienced some of the better years as well.

Hes feeling better each week and I think hell be looking forwward to a good game on Sunday.ddddddddddddBurgess, who returned to his 2014 form with a two-try haul in a loss to Penrith last week, said the team was well aware of the predicament they were in with just over two months remaining in the season.But he urged his teammates to focus solely on kick-starting their campaign against the Cowboys.We need to concentrate on ourselves, not worry about how long weve got and the scenarios and how many we need to win. Its more about our performance this weekend, he said.The Rabbitohs are likely to get a huge boost by the return of Adam Reynolds, who has been named to play despite picking up what appeared to be a serious shoulder injury for NSW in State of Origin II last week.The Blues No.7 missed the Rabbitohs loss to the Panthers on Saturday and has yet to train with the team all week, but his teammates were confident he would be playing in Cairns.Hes being a pest as usual and thats always a good sign, Burgess said.Hes tough and hes not daft. Well be smart and make sure if hes playing, hes healthy. But signs are that hes looking good. ' ' '
