HONG KONG (Reuters) - Luiz Felipe Scolari questioned the form of his Guangzhou Evergrande players after Gao Lin's late header salvaged a 2-2 draw against cross-city rivals Guangzhou R&F, who moved a point clear at the summit of the Chinese Super League.

Evergrande, six-time winners of the league title, took the lead after just nine minutes through Brazilian striker Alan Carvalho before an Eran Zahavi penalty and a curling free kick from Renato looked set to secure all three points for Dragan Stojkovic's team.
