Connacht went top of Champions Cup Pool Two after a convincing 40-7 win over Zebre in Italy.?Connacht continued their impressive form in the Champions Cup with a convincing victory over Zebre.The west of Ireland side edged Toulouse last week with a converted try in the dying minutes and almost started where they left off last week when Craig Ronaldson was dragged over the line. The TMO however ruled a double movement and Zebre escaped three minutes in.But their relief was short-lived as Stacey Ili scooped low to gather a Jack Carty grubber, 10 minutes in, to score in the right corner. Ronaldson, taking over the kicking duties from Jack Carty, split the posts from the conversion.Last weeks match-winner Carty doubled their advantage three minutes later when he ran 55 metres to score after Peter Robbs ferocious tackle on Carlo Canna saw the ball slip from his grasp. Ronaldson tagged on the extras as Connacht were halfway to a bonus-point 13 minutes in.Connacht were nearly in for a third when Carty charged down a clearance, but after Kieran Marmion kicked on, Edoardo Padovani beat him to grounding the ball. The TMO was required as Connacht saw Sean OBrien sin-binned for knocking the ball out of Marcello Violis hands just before the half hour. The touch judge then drew the referees attention to another incident involving Connachts Quinn Roux and Zebre hooker Oliviero Fabiani with the latter being sent-off for biting the result.The half ended with Padovani missing a kick in front of the posts and Zebre turning the ball over as Connacht looked set to get a third try, but it remained 14-0 at half-time.Connacht pulled away in the second half as Ili grabbed his second try as an in-perfect cross kick from Carty was gathered by Ili and he touched down.Zebre saw Tommaso Castello sin-binned for playing the ball on the gruond and referee Mathieu Raynal awarded a penalty try. It soon became 35-0 as former Leinster Academy back Cian Kelleher ran in on 53 minutes. But Connacht werent done yet.Replacement forward Conor Carey ran in sixth try two minutes later after good work from Ili and Ronaldson. Tommaso DApice did get a consolation try for Zebre on the hour mark.But Connacht fired back with a second try from Kelleher and a third from Ili to go top of the table with back-to-back games against Wasps to come.

Ahead of Crystal Palaces Saturday Night Football clash with West Brom, we take a look at one of footballs most divisive figures... Emmanuel Adebayor received a predictably hot reception when he returned to White Hart Lane with Crystal Palace on Sunday. The striker had promised to celebrate if he scored against his old club, and after his every touch was booed by the home supporters, his afternoon ended to a backdrop of jeers as he was substituted in the second half.Adebayors break-up with Spurs was drawn-out and painful. By the time he was released from his contract in September, he hadnt played in five months, he was frozen out of first team training, and his prolific spells under Harry Redknapp and Tim Sherwood were long forgotten. It was a familiar story for one of the Premier Leagues most controversial characters. Around a year previously, the 31-year-old had irreparably damaged his relationship with Spurs fans by criticising the atmosphere at White Hart Lane after a defeat by Stoke. The comments added to a long list of misdemeanours that includes an infamously provocative celebration against Arsenal and an on-field bust-up with former team-mate Nicklas Bendtner, and Manchester City will also testify that he rarely leaves his clubs on happy terms. Adebayor in action for Crystal Palace in their recent clash with Watford In fact, the pattern started as a youngster at Monaco, when he grew angry with manager Francesco Guidolin - now at Swansea - after losing his starting spot to Italian strikers Marco de Vaio and Christian Vieri. I have the impression that you have to be Italian to be a first-team player in this side, he said at the time. I cannot continue like this. I have to leave. Soon enough, he was on his way to Arsenal.But for all the acrimony that has accompanied Adebayor since his breakthrough years, there is good reason why he has been so coveted throughout his career. At his best, the Togolese is unplayable, combining fearsome pace and aerial strength with a high level of technical skill and a predatory eye for goal.His towering header in Palaces recent 2-1 defeat by Watford was his 97th Premier League goal on his 233rd appearance, and he is on course to reach 100 in fewer games than Wayne Rooney. Along with Sunderlands Jermain Defoe, the Manchester United captain is the only current Premier League player to have reached the landmark. Fastest players to 100 Premier League goals Player Games taken to reach 100 PL goals Alan Shearer 124 Thierry Henry 160 Ian Wright 173 Robbie Fowler 175 Les Ferdinand 178 Michael Owen 185 Andrew Cole 185 Robin van Persie 197 Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink 200 Didier Drogba 220 Darren Bent 226 Emmanuel Adebayor 233 (*97 goals) Wayne Rooney 247 Rooney is not the only top-class Premier League striker with a scoring rate that pales in comparison to Adebayors.dddddddddddd Teddy Sheringham and Dwight Yorke took 254 games to reach three figures, while Nicolas Anelka took 258. His eight goals in 22 games during a successful loan at Jose Mourinhos Real Madrid are also often overlooked.So while Crystal Palace were widely considered to be taking a gamble by signing Adebayor, the word guarantee might have been more accurate. Adebayor has scored goals wherever he has gone - the conditions just have to be right. Hes a character that needs to be loved, said Alan Pardew. With the group I have, hes going to get that. With that in mind, club chairman Steve Parish quickly heralded the striker as one of the top three players ever to have played for the club, while Pardew has spoken of him in glowing terms at every opportunity. The charm offensive is all part of the plan.There are, however, few players who attract as much vitriol as Adebayor. The striker has been accused of losing focus after securing long-term contracts, something that certainly appeared to be the case when he penned a new deal at Arsenal after scoring 30 times in 2007/08, and when he earned a permanent move to Spurs after scoring 18 goals on loan at White Hart Lane in 2010/11. Adebayor celebrates scoring for Arsenal against Tottenham in 2007 Underperforming players taking home six-figure weekly paycheques are unlikely to be treated sympathetically, but, on a human level, Adebayor has suffered traumas most people can only imagine.He was on Togos team bus when three people were killed and numerous others injured in a gun attack in Angola in 2010, and in May last year the striker was given time off by Tottenham after a series of disturbing Facebook posts revealed bitter feuding with family members. Adebayor returned to White Hart Lane with Crystal Palace on Sunday Ive seen people dying in front of me, Ive seen people with guns in front of me, he said in February 2013, a few months before the death of his brother, Peter. Ive also had 30,000 people abusing me in stadiums. I take it as part of life. Its true that sometimes you hear things and think: Its a tough one but when I go home to my wife and little daughter they put a smile on my face.Adebayor now insists he has nothing to prove to his critics, but reaching 100 Premier League goals would be a reminder of his pedigree. I just want to show people Im still alive and still smiling, he said in January. On Saturday at West Brom, he can show them hes still scoring too.Watch West Brom v Crystal Palace live on Sky Sports 1 HD from 1pm on Saturday Also See: Bolasie targets Wembley appearance What do Arsenal change?
