hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm olly foster. haaland scores for city in his 100th appearance as they start their title defence with a win. it's an underwhelming la liga debut for kylian mbappe, as the champions real madrid are held at mallorca. and sabalenka serves up her sunday best to beat swiatek in their cincinnati semifinal. hello there. the manchester city manager, pep guardiola, hailed erling haaland's scoring record as he helped them start their premier league title defence with a 2—0 win at chelsea.

the norwegian striker, the golden boot winner for the past two seasons, was making his 100th appearance for the club and opened his account for the season in the first half at stamford bridge, his 91st city goal. matteo kovacic also scored late on against his former club. england internationals phil foden, john stones and kyle walker started on the bench for city after missing a lot of preseason after the euros, spanish midfielder rodri was left out of the squad after only returning to training this week. considering his selection issues, the city manager, was more than pleased with the start. i know what these guys can do on the first day with a lack of training. the way the body language and what they have done. last season we could not win, so starting that the bad news is we

still have games left. be patient. it is important to win. for sure we can improve many things. we are just six weeks together so you can imagine how many things we need to add and we can improve. in the same moment we like to analyse the game and i think the game is quite clear. we try to play our foot, kick the ball, create chances against this kind of team. it is not possible it is not easy but we did quite well. brentford are off to a winning start after getting the better of crystal palace in the day's earlier kick—off. the big talking point was ivan toney being left out of the brentford squad. the england striker is set to leave the club by the end of the transfer window, the bee's manager, sorry thomas frank, saying it's a case of when — not if — he goes. they did pretty well without him, bryan mbeumo and yoan wissa scored their goals. thomas frank explained to the bbc�*s mark scott why he'd left striker ivan toney out of his squad.

there has been a lot of things wrong, ivan with transfer rumours and activity because of that. we took a decision to not involve him in the squad. does that mean a deal is potentially| close? no, there are things going on but not potentially close. do you expect him to be here after the transfer window given what is going on? that is a good question. let's see. i l simply do not know. the england defender marc guehi played for palace today. despite intense speculation about his future, they have turned down four bids from newcastle with palace chairman steve parrish insisting that it would take "superstar money" for them to let him go. there was no doubt that he was going to play against brentford. i think everyone could see he is completely focused on crystal palace on the game today. we had a very good performance and let's see what is going... coming up in the next weeks. finally, no more. news about him? as far as you are concerned he will still be

here for the season? two days we did not speak about transfers. we focused on the game, what it needs. so, no news. kylian mbappe made his la liga debut on sunday but it was quite a forgettable one for the french striker, as real madrid were held to a 1—1 draw away at mallorca. carlo ancellotti started with the same forward line that won the uefa super cup against atalanta in the week, with mbappe up front, flanked by viniciusjunior and rodrigo, withjude bellingham behind them. a fairly potent mix. mbappe had a few chances saved but it was rodrygo who gave them a first half lead. they created other chances but mallorca equalised from a corner with a powerful header from their kosovan striker, vedat veriqi. and just to compound real�*s lacklustre evening, their defender, ferland mendy, was sent off for a dangerous challenge.

there were four matches in serie a bologna and udinese drew1—1. antonio conte's first match as napoli boss was an embarrassing 3—0 defeat at verona. lazio got their season under way by coming from behind to beat promoted venezia 3—1, while their city rivals roma were held to a goalless draw at cagliari. aryna sabalenka is through to herfirst cincinnati 0pen final, beating iga swiatek 6—3, 6—3 in their semifinals. sabalenka squandered nine match points on her way to beating the world number one. the win is revenge for sabalenka, who lost clay finals to swiatek in madrid and rome last spring. and she'llfacejessica pegula in the final on monday. the american beat paula badosa in three sets to claim her ninth win in a row and she will now aim to win back—to—back tournaments following her victory at the canadian 0pen last week. the american lauren coughlin

won the women's scottish 0pen at dundonald links in ayrshire, finishing on 15 under, four shots clear of the field. she struggled with some early bogeys, but rallied on the back nine to take the title. her second on the lpga tour in the past month following her maiden win at the canadian 0pen. her closest challenger was esther henseleit of germany, who finished on 11 under par. england's charley hull finished in fifth. kind of unbelievable. two in three weeks is pretty crazy, three events, but i stuck in, try to stay as present as i could. i played super solid all four days and tried to be... let the wind do what it did not find it too much and i was able to kind of hit the ball where i was trying to most of the time in good distance and make some putts. hideki matsuyama has won the first leg of the fedex play—offs, finishing two shots clear of xander schauffele and victor hovland at the stjude championship

in memphis. the season looks to be over for three—time major champion jordan spieth. he finished outside the top 50 after finding the water twice on the last, which means that he hasn't qualified for the second fedex play—off. he confirmed that he will now have surgery on his left wrist for an ongoing tendon issue. he says he hopes to be back playing in 12 weeks. 0val invincibles successfully defended their 100th title after a 17—run victory against southern brave in sunday's final at lord's. after being put in to bat, they made 147 from their 100 balls thanks to some big hitting from opener willjacks. in response, brave struggled to get close, three wickets from saqib mahmood and two from adam zampa seeing them become the first men's team to win the competition two years in a row.

a real team effort throughout the tournament and even better than last year if i'm honest. it didn't all go away and that is the strength of the group and a couple of big turning points. mahmoud changed the game, probably getting their best wicket. amazing game of cricket and it just shows especially in this format the game can change so quickly. there was a dramatic finish to the women's final. requiring 116 to win, london spirit needed four runs from the final three balls against welsh fire and india all—rounder deepti sharma hit a six to secure a four—wicket victory for heather knight's side as they win the trophy for the first time. i found it hard to time. it was a tricky wicket, a little slow, so i thought our bowlers did a good job to keep them to a low score hopefully it will not be too hard but pleased with how

it went. i wasjust trying to keep things going. danny gibson, a beauty. the exact henning she can play. change the game, shifted the momentum and broke the back of the run chase. kasia niewiadoma has won the tour de france femmes by just four seconds, taking the title on the final iconic climb of l�*alpe d'huez. the defending champion, deymi vollering, who was a minute and a quarter down in the standings after crashing earlier in the race, won the stage, leaving niewiadoma having to finish within 65 seconds of the dutchwoman to keep the yellowjersey. and she made it withjust four seconds to spare for the biggest win of her career. the australian sprinter kaden groves won stage 2 at the vuelta a espana. groves made the most of the uphill finish into 0urem to take the victory. wout van aart was second across the line and takes the race leader's red jersey. the first three stages are in portugal this year before crossing into spain. finally, alex yee's dramatic final run to win triathlon gold was one of the great team gb moments at the paris 0lympics. well, watch this because he's gone and repeated the trick,

again against his great rival hayden wilde. in an action replay of what happened a few weeks ago, yee left it late to get the better of new zealander to win the opening super—tri race of the year in boston. and look at this celebration as he crosses the line — wilde was less than impressed. he says he's sick of silver, and will be looking for revenge when they go head to head in chicago next weekend. well done alex and what a celebration. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye.

hello there. with schools in england and wales still on holiday, i'm very aware that the vacation season is still in full swing — and if you're about to set off on yours, certainly worth bearing in mind, particularly if you're in this country, and particularly if you're under canvas. heavy rain and gales are forecast for some of us throughout this week — please keep abreast of the forecast and tune in to your bbc local radio station for further updates, as areas of low pressure start to push in from the west. we'll start off largely fine and quiet on monday. eastern england clinging onto the sunshine and, once again, the warmth throughout the day — and that's where we're likely to see highest temperatures. so, if we stretch a line from hull down to the isle of wight, anywhere south and east of that, keeping some sunshine and highs of 25 celsius. clouding over across much of southwest england and wales, with some heavier bursts of rain starting to push in. it will turn increasingly windy through the irish sea

and up into northwest scotland. for northern ireland and scotland, there'll be some heavier bursts of rain at times, strong winds, and temperatures certainly more subdued. that heavy rain continues through scotland overnight. it will weaken as it moves its way down through the southeast — just a band of showery rain. but certainly again here, the notable thing will be the feel of the weather. quite a warm night monday night into the early hours of tuesday morning, with overnight lows of only 17 celsius. now, for england and wales on tuesday, it's a case of sunny spells and a few scattered showers. some of those showers, perhaps heavy with the odd rumble of thunder. close to this area of low pressure, we see a frequent rash of showers being driven in along west—facing coasts — and here, noticeably cooler once again, 14—16 celsius. highest values of around 23—24, with the best of the sunshine once again in the southeast. now, as we go through wednesday, on the whole, we've got this little ridge of high pressure quietening things down. but there is another spell of very wet and very windy weather developing. so, towards the latter stages of the day, the winds will strengthen close to gale force. that's going to drive in some showers

across north and west scotland. elsewhere, we keep some sunshine. the winds strengthening, but not a bad day on wednesday, highs of 14—22 celsius. it's overnight wednesday into thursday where we see a real spell of wet and windy weather. that will linger in the northwest, towards the end of the working week, somewhat drier and brighter conditions further south.
