i was just incredibly happy. a little bit relieved. all of the emotions that you can feel. it was the most incredible feeling. hello there, and welcome along to the programme... and busy as usualfor the big names in the premier league today. liverpool began a new regime under new head coach arne slot, with a straightforward win over new—boys ipswich town at portman road. it could be sign of how tough things will be for ipswich, on their return after such a long spell away from the top flight. patrick geary was watching. ipswich town have waited 22 years for their place in the sun. their exile from the premier league began the year ed sheeran first picked up a guitar.

now they're back playing liverpool, they must learn as fast as he did. missed chances must not become bad habits. but this was a positive start from ipswich. it took until the second half for liverpool to threaten. commentator: on to luis diaz! and lifted over the bar. they're a team beginning their own new era under manager arne slot, a dutchman who has replaced jurgen klopp with ideas of his own. and this is roughly what he wants them to do. rolls it in... jota! 1-0. diogojota set up by mo salah. the egyptian is in his eighth season with liverpool. he remains a brilliant constant — 2—0. salah going through and scoring! and a first slot test passed. people told me before i started, there's no easy game in the premier league and i think today showed this if you play a newly promoted club. it shows you every time how tough it is to win games over here.

but in the end we managed to win it and it was a was a good way to start the season. so ipswich begin this premier league season just how they ended their last one — with defeat to liverpool. it's manchester city next. welcome back. patrick geary, bbc news. so a winning start for life under arne slot for liverpool, but still plenty of reasons for optimism for ipswich according to their manager kieran mckenna. starting this 11 today, and on the first day of the season be playing against liverpool and the ascendancy for the first half, probably the better team in that period. that is a great reflection of the achievement that we've had here. but, we also look at a second half, you know, continue to try to find ways to improve and manage that game better. at first sure i feel there is a lot more positives out there today than negatives. arsenal have come the closest to dethroning manchester city in the last couple of seasons, and they started as they mean to go on, at the emirates today. the gunners beat wolves 2—0, with goals coming from kai havertz and bukayo saka.

arsenal the dominant side, and rarely looked out of control against wolves side who created few chances in the match. i think we should have opened the gap in terms of the squad line much earlier. especially in the first half. but then i liked that we showed some grit and some consistency, especially, yeah, we had some giveaways especially in the first that were very, very tricky. i felt like 1—0, we felt throughout the game — i felt like 1—0, we felt throughout the game we thought we were more likely than_ the game we thought we were more likely than them in the second goal, obviously _ likely than them in the second goal, obviously. pleased that we were able to spoken _ obviously. pleased that we were able to spoken to the players around. those _ to spoken to the players around. those details, especially if you want _ those details, especially if you want to — those details, especially if you want to compete with teams like arsenal, — want to compete with teams like arsenal, when you come in that final pass with _ arsenal, when you come in that final pass with those little details, at least _ pass with those little details, at least a — pass with those little details, at least a couple of those. newcastle united hung on to open their season with a win, against another of the newly promoted sides, southampton. saints enjoyed the better possession, and looked likely to score, after newcastle defender fabian schar was sent off early in the first half. joelinton�*s goal on the stroke of half time proving the difference for eddie howe�*s side.

it wasn't an enjoyable game. of course, the end result is unbelievable. how we got there was very, very difficult. yeah, of course, sending up changes in the game totally credited to the players for how we regrouped and managed to find a way to win. we played so many games in preparation for this. it was all to play for~ — preparation for this. it was all to play for. they ran over teams, steam—rolled teams. they did do that to it in _ steam—rolled teams. they did do that to it in the _ steam—rolled teams. they did do that to it in the first 80 minutes. we paid _ to it in the first 80 minutes. we paid the — to it in the first 80 minutes. we paid the price. it's the primary league — paid the price. it's the primary league. but we still haven't more than enough chances to come home and win it _ than enough chances to come home and win it maybe _ than enough chances to come home and win it. maybe it's that little bit of belief _ win it. maybe it's that little bit of belief. i think the players should _ of belief. i think the players should take so much from that. i have _ should take so much from that. i have i'm — should take so much from that. i have. i'm really proud of watching the team — have. i'm really proud of watching the team today and i'm frustrated we haven't _ the team today and i'm frustrated we haven't got _ the team today and i'm frustrated we haven't got anything. a miserable start for everton, who were well beaten at goodison park by brighton. the seagulls, under new manager fabian hurzeler — the premier league's youngest ever permanent manager — were too much and won 3—0. kaoru mitoma, danny welbeck and simon adingra with the goals. a disappointing one then

for everton, as they begin theirfinal campaign at their current home ground. m ista kes mistakes change games. i thought it was delivered really well in the first half. we broke wide. we played dye eggs. we effected their back line. so many good moments, and then conceded a goal at the run of the game. a good break away. they are capable of that, we know that from the way they play. the second half we can't legislate for the decisions made. it's the referee's decision for me. they are saying his foot landed on the defender come up with the defender�*s foot is out of control, drugs is put away. the primary league, every week, we don't get them, obviously as we have done historically. it changes everything. they make a mistake with the ball and they capitalise on it. and we get somebody sent off and that is a big ask. i think it was a intense game, as we expected _ i think it was a intense game, as we expected it — i think it was a intense game, as we expected it i— i think it was a intense game, as we expected it. ithink i think it was a intense game, as we expected it. i think we started a

always smiling, always with joy. and we wish him the best. i think he is leaving the hospitaljust now and then he's going to be assessed tomorrow and after tomorrow. but it serious, but the good news is he is stable, he is stable, he is speaking, he is aware. sojust need time. to the championship, and goals were in short supply in the lunchtime kick—offs. it was a goalless in the game between west brom and leeds — and nobody on the scoresheet either at fratton park for portsmouth against luton. rob edwards side hung on for a point after being left with ten men. keeper thomas kaminski was sent off in the first half, after he picked up two yellow cards in three minutes. the first was for time wasting — and the second for a rash foul outside the box. quick run down of the rest of the championship scores today, and derby beat middlesbrough one—nil. bristol city got the better of millwall in a seven—goal thriller. burnley thrashed cardiff 5—nil, to continue their impressive start to life in the championship. norwich and blackburn shared four goals. wane rooney picked up his first point in charge of plymouth,

as they drew one—all with hull city. sheffield united drew 2—all with qpr, while there were 3—nil wins for swansea and watford against preston & stoke respectively. the fa cup final may be nine months away, but 272 non—league clubs are continuing on the long journey to wembley this weekend, in the preliminary round of the competition. it was honours even in the north—east derby between ashington and bishop auckland live on the red button. the visitors taking the lead midway through the first half in northumbria but the two sides will have to do it all over again after the hosts equalised an hour into the game. the knockout stages of the league cup got under way in scotland today. premiership side ross county were knocked out by league 2 spartans i—nil. aberdeen beat queen' park i—nil. dundee thrashed airdrieonians 6—1. there was another shock as championship falkirk beat hearts 2—nil. rangers are taking on stjohnstone at hampden right now and.

good evening. a good deal of dry weather and that is the way it will continue this evening. then you get the cloud break—up to reveal a little bit more sunshine and hopefully there will be a bit more around tomorrow. a few showers, we've had those that continues where we've had those that continues where we have the lion's share of the day sunshine. the cloud milled through the night, the winds ease further, it will be another coolest start on sunday morning, perhaps a bit more fog early enough the winds falling later, rich is closer to our shores. at that westerly breeze in the north. a notch down on those today.

temperatures might just be temperatures mightjust be a degree down with lighter winds that will compensate. however, it is all change as we go through the new week, so high pollen levels again through monday, as you can see. but into the new week we've got wind and rain coming in monday, i think mostly fine and dry. so sunday into monday out of the ridge of high pressure producing some mist and fog across central and eastern areas, possibly further west with some sea fog. but that rain coming in looks quite intense, particularly the second part of the day across northern ireland, western scotland, northern scotland as well. there'll be cloud piling in around the irish sea coast, some sea fog here, but further east we've switched our wind direction, picking up more of a southwesterly so we could again see temperatures nudging above 25. actually, in some spots it will be warm for all, and a warm night monday into tuesday. warm and wet. as you can see, as that weather

system carries its way eastwards behind it on tuesday. lots of showers, heavy thundery showers during monday night and into tuesday as well because it's warm air so we'll still see temperatures into towards the mid 20s in the south and the east, but closer to average further north and west following our rain. but if ijust show you that rainfall as it piles up through the week, mostly in the north and west, but anywhere really seeing some rainfall tuesday. but the heaviest falls likely in the north and west, perhaps cumbria and north wales, with some more wet and windy weather midweek on.
