MANCHESTER, England -- Aston Villa compounded the simmering frustration at Arsenal by winning 3-1 at Emirates Stadium on Saturday while Liverpool rode its luck to also start the new Premier League season with a victory. Christian Benteke scored twice as Villa came from behind to beat Arsenal, which was booed off by home fans already aggrieved at manager Arsene Wengers failure to strengthen the squad in the summer transfer window. Liverpool striker Luis Suarez -- Arsenals main target in the off-season -- was in the stands because of suspension as his team defeated Stoke 1-0 thanks to Daniel Sturridges 37th-minute goal, although it needed debutant Simon Mignolets late penalty save to preserve the lead. West Ham, Southampton and Fulham also started with wins, while Norwich drew 2-2 with Everton after Ricky van Wolfswinkels equalizer on his competitive debut. Manchester United begins the defence of its title at Swansea later Saturday, with unsettled striker Wayne Rooney starting on the bench. Its a case of new season, same old story for Arsenal, whose defensive shortcomings were capped by centre back Laurent Koscielnys second-half sending-off for two yellow cards. Wengers team is unlikely to be challenging for the title this season unless the club, which is awash with cash, can recruit some marquee names to add to a squad that the French manager acknowledged on Friday was threadbare. Wenger was hit with chants including "You dont know what youre doing" and "Spend some (expletive) money" minutes before the final whistle. Olivier Giroud gave Arsenal the lead in the sixth minute but Benteke, who withdrew a transfer request over the summer, equalized in the 22nd when he headed home a rebound after his penalty was saved by goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny. The Belgium striker then converted a 66th-minute penalty following Koscielnys clumsy foul on Gabriel Agbonlahor, earning the defender a first yellow card, and debutant Antonio Luna sealed the points in the 85th for Villa by racing clear on the break to score in the bottom corner. It was a much more positive start to the campaign by Liverpool, who dominated against Stoke but only had Sturridges 25-yard strike to show for its efforts. That profligacy almost cost them when Daniel Agger handballed in the area in the 88th minute but Mignolet ended a nervy debut by clawing away Jon Walters spot kick and then denying Kenwyne Jones effort on the rebound. Suarez, who was serving the fifth match of a 10-game ban for biting an opponent last season, was cheered by some fans as he walked the perimeter of the Anfield pitch with his daughter before kickoff despite an off-season dominated by transfer speculation surrounding the striker. The scorer of Englands winner over Scotland on Wednesday on his international debut, Rickie Lambert completed the perfect week by converting a last-minute penalty for Southampton in a 1-0 victory at West Bromwich Albion. Goals either side of the break by Joe Cole and Kevin Nolan were enough for West Ham in a 2-0 home win over promoted Cardiff and Pajtim Kasami grabbed a 52nd-minute winner for Fulham in a 1-0 victory at Paolo Di Canios Sunderland. Norwich went ahead at Carrow Road through Steven Whittaker before goals by Ross Barkley and Seamus Coleman in a five-minute span gave Everton the lead by the 65th minute.

FRISCO, Texas -- Dak Prescott converted a long third down on the go-ahead drive in his first NFL win by changing the protection and the route at the line of scrimmage.Later, the rookie Dallas quarterback wisely slid to take a sack on a bootleg that didnt work when the most important thing for the Cowboys was forcing Washington to use its last timeout in the final two minutes.The former Mississippi State standout keeps telling people he felt ready for the NFL from the beginning. And he keeps showing it after injuries to Tony Romo and Kellen Moore suddenly made him the starter.This isnt a dream where Im like wowed every day, Prescott said with the same demeanor he had as a third-teamer during offseason workouts. I feel like this is where I belong, so Ive got to continue to get better.Prescott has an NFL-record 75 pass attempts without an interception to start a career, although hes still looking for his first touchdown pass.Hell shoot for a number much more important to him when the Cowboys host Chicago on Sunday night.With a win, the 23-year-old will have double the number of victories the Cowboys had without Romo in 14 games over the three seasons before the fourth-round pick showed up.Prescott inherited starting jobs in high school and college because of injuries and didnt surrender it either time.At Mississippi State, he finished as the schools passing leader while joining Tim Tebow as the only SEC quarterbacks with at least 70 touchdowns passing and at least another 40 rushing.A day after getting his first win 27-23 over the Redskins, naturally Prescott was asked what he thought if the wins kept coming while Romo recovers from his fourth back injury in less than four years. He was quick to call it Romos team, another thing he has said all along.I think Dak said it best, owner and general manager Jerry Jones said on his radio show this week.Tony would be the first to tell you its everybodys team. But still, its Tonys team. Tony has the experience and he has the ability to make us a better team. And thats the only way you look at it right now.Prescott became the backup when Moore broke his right ankle in training camp. And he became tthe starter when Romo broke a bone in his back in the third preseason game at Seattle.ddddddddddddAlong the way, Prescott led the NFL in passer rating in the preseason, helping the Cowboys change their mind about adding a new backup to Romo. Eventually, Dallas signed Mark Sanchez as the No. 2 behind Prescott, who had a rushing TD against Washington.After receiver Dez Bryant had just one catch in an opening loss to the New York Giants, Prescott found the 2014 All-Pro seven times for 102 yards against the Redskins. The critical third-and-11 conversion against Washington was to Cole Beasley, who has a team-high 13 catches through two weeks.I didnt really see him much until we got into camp just because wed go with the 1s, Beasley said. He was a very poised and confident guy in the huddle. And thats what you like to see. Its like he wasnt even a rookie.Before beating Washington, the Cowboys were 1-14 without Romo -- including the opener with Prescott -- going back to the season finale in 2013.If Prescott beats the injury-riddled Bears, hell have one more victory than veterans Brandon Weeden, Matt Cassel and Moore managed in 12 starts last season.And the Cowboys will have a winning record while being a week closer to Romos return with a young quarterback whos looking like the future beyond the 36-year-old and 10-year starter.Weve had success, hes handled that well, coach Jason Garrett said of Prescott. Weve had some adversity, hes handled that well. Weve been ahead, hes handled that well. Weve been behind, hes handled that well.So I think you put all of those things together, and you feel good about where he is in all aspects of his game.Game notes CB Orlando Scandrick was held out of practice and said hes dealing with soreness in both hamstrings. ... DE Charles Tapper (back) still isnt practicing, making it likely hell miss the third straight game at the start of his career.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Schuyler Dixon on Twitter at https://twitter.com/apschuyler ' ' '
