Bowditch pulled the ball back for Tommy Miller, whose skewed effort was headed away by Adam Drury but only as far as Fabian Wilnis. He rifled the ball home.In injury time and with Norwich throwing everything forward, Bowditch launched a breakaway which Bent showed composure to finish, his low shot beating Green.Norwich had earlier been frustrated by Marshall's reactions when Paul McVeigh got a touch to a shot from David Healy. But, the dynamic runs of Rivers aside, they were unable to find much penetration.Goals: Wilnis (72) 0-1; D Bent (90) 0-2.Norwich City (4-4-2): Green; Kenton, Fleming (Mulryne, 75), Bromby, Drury; Rivers (Henderson, 76), Holt, Easton (Abbey, 80), McVeigh; Healy, Roberts. Substitutes not used: Crichton (gk), Russell.Ipswich Town (3-5-2): Marshall; Holland, Gaardsoe, Makin; Wilnis, Wright, Miller, Magilton (Naylor, 89), Richards; D Bent, Ambrose (Bowditch, 71).

Michael Ballack put a recent dispute with his coach Ottmar Hitzfeld firmly behind him by scoring both goals in Bayern Munich's 2-0 victory over Energie Cottbus in the Bundesliga. Meyer will be replaced by Ewald Lienen, a former Cologne coach. Kaiserslautern remain bottom after a goalless draw against TSV 1860 Munich.Elsewhere, Dortmund bounced back from their draw with Schalke last weekend by defeating Hansa Rostock 2-0. Bayer Leverkusen beat Werder Bremen 3-0, while Bochum lost 2-1 to struggling Hannover.* Congo's Shabani Nonda sent Monaco back to the top of the French league with a late double as they won 3-1 at Lille on Saturday. Marseilles, who are now second on goal difference, were held to a goalless draw at Strasbourg.

Bordeaux, who are six points back in third, beat Sochaux 2-0.. Early goals from Lorenzo Amoruso and Shota Arveladze proved vital yesterday as Rangers survived a late revival from Livingston to maintain their six-point lead at the top of the Scottish Premier League table. A m?e ensued, although the referee, John Rowbotham, did not book anyone.The home side provided most of the attacking football in the first half, but that came only after they had gifted Rangers two early goals.Amoruso netted the first in the eighth minute when Brinquin allowed him a free header from a corner, and, when McCann crossed from the left eight minutes later, no fewer than four defenders failed to cut it out. That allowed Arveladze, who had seen an effort ruled out for offside from the previous attack, to stoop and nod past the startled Alan Main.The game swung from end to end and Livingston thought they were back in it when Fernando Ricksen bundled over Zarate in the box as a cross came in and a penalty was awarded, but Klos blocked Zarate's 71st-minute effort. Dadi's goal was too late.Rangers' Dutch pair Arthur Numan and Ronald de Boer are doubts for the Celtic game Numan has a knee problem while De Boer has a calf injury. But Amoruso is expected to play next weekend despite a broken nose.Goals: Amoruso (8) 0-1; Arveladze (16) 0-2; Dadi (90) 1-2.Livingston: Main, Brinquin, Maidana, Andrews, Bahoken, Quino (Dadi, 45), Makel (Tour?aman, 78), Lovell, O'Brien, Wilson (Xausa, 63), Zarate. Substitutes not used: McEwan (gk), Camacho.Rangers: Klos, Muscat, Moore, Amoruso, Bonnissel, Ricksen, Ferguson, Arteta, Mols (Caniggia, 62), Arveladze (Thompson, 71), McCann.

As Tiger Woods contested the final of the Accenture World Matchplay at La Costa against David Toms yesterday, the organisers of this week's Dubai Desert Classic announced that the world No 1 has postponed his return to the Gulf until next year. The South African decided on Friday to travel to the Middle East where he will be joined by half the European Ryder Cup team.Despite some withdrawals, including Colin Montgomerie and Nick Faldo, the organisers have had no problem in filling the 150-man field. Neither Woods nor Els were due to play in the Qatar Masters in Doha on 13 to 16 March. Despite Foreign Office advice against "non-essential" travel to Qatar that event is also due to go ahead as planned.Woods first played in the Gulf two years ago when he was runner-up in the Dubai Classic, losing at the 72nd hole to Thomas Bjorn. Reputedly on an appearance fee of around $2.5m, Woods has already agreed to play in the tournament next year. "Although I originally intended to play this week, I have reluctantly decided to postpone my appearance until next year," Woods said.
