7:34 pm
a reminder of history. if we have learned anything it is that this fixture has so often provided goals and drama. with such promise it is no surprise that there were plenty of early chances, but perhaps few expected them to fall almost exclusively the way of liverpool. such was their dominance in the first half, roberto firmino‘s opener was first half, roberto firmino's opener was no more than they deserved. they could and should have had more by the time it sadio mane expertly guided them to wait a second. as impressive as liverpool work, arsenal at times looked stunned and helpless. no half—time team talk could rein in the reds, liverpool again out on their own, they got a third. for some arsenal fans, again out on their own, they got a third. forsome arsenalfans, it again out on their own, they got a third. for some arsenalfans, it was too painful to watch. those that could perhaps wish they had not, liverpool were ruthless and rampant and with this header from liverpool were ruthless and rampant and with this headerfrom daniel

sturridge, 4—0 and with this headerfrom daniel sturridge,1r—0 up. arsenal are played and outgunned, liverpool magnificent, not the drama history taught us to expect, still arsenal taught us to expect, still arsenal taught a lesson. we were really good and organised. if you give arsenal space and time, they will do what they want to do. also, your lost before the game starts. i don't think that arsenal could do today a lot of times what they actually wa nted lot of times what they actually wanted and that is all credit to the boys, because they worked really hard. different performance. from back to forward, it was not what we requested and they took advantage of it. it raises many questions, but i still believe that you do not think that they are not good players, they are good players and i am sure that today... also today premier league champions chelsea beat everton two—nil.
7:36 pm
it makes it two wins from three matches for antonio conte after their surprise opening day defeat to burnley. spanish striker alvaro morato set up cesc fabregas for chelsea's first goal, and scored the second himself, against a below par everton. i think the only negative aspect could be that we have to be more clinical, to try and score and close the game. but, we must be pleased because the players performed very well, with great concentration and finished the game with a clean sheet. yes, ithink finished the game with a clean sheet. yes, i think that we saw a lot of positive things. over at wembley stadium — chris wood scored a late equaliser for burnley as they drew one—one with tottenham. dele alli had put spurs ahead early in the second half... but wood, who signed for burnley from leeds for 15 million pounds last week, scored on his debut... two minutes into injury time.
7:37 pm
i think we have given a good account of ourselves so far, i have been pleased with the group, how they continue to adapt to the challenges of the premier league. i think the play showed we could do that today. overall it is the result and it was a fantastic result in the grand scheme of what they are. it finished one all between west brom and stoke, with albion strikerjay rodriguez scoring on his home debut. it was his first goal since his move from southampton, and west brom looked on course for their third win of the season. but their hopes though ofjoining manchester united at the top of the table were dashed, when a defensive mix up allowed peter crouch to head home. in the scottish premiership, rangers are up to sixth in the table, five points behind leaders aberdeen, as they won 3—1 at ross county. they were already a goal up through alfredo morellos when county's keeper scott fox had a moment to forget — he looked like he was in control of the situation, but clearly wasn't — morellos was able to put
7:38 pm
rangers two—nil ahead. thomas mikkelson did pull one back, but rangers wrapped up the match with two minutes to go through eduardo herrera. an important result for them after two home games without a win. dundee ended a run of five scottish premiership defeats with a one all draw against hibernian — kevin holt put them ahead after less than ten minutes. but steven whittaker, who'd conceded that penalty, made amends by finding anthony stokes, whose shot went in off kerr waddell‘s toe. hibs remain fifth, while dundee are off the bottom of the table. england's cricketers are struggling in their second innings, on day three of the second test against a much—improved west indies. patrick gearey has been following the action at headingley. have cheap brands at headingley.

test cricket. that requires the sort of concentration that offers little stimulation but rather that than the alarm call but jilted stimulation but rather that than the alarm call butjilted alastair cook from the crease. tom westley came m, from the crease. tom westley came in, he hit the snooze button. mark stoneman made a careful 50, little he could do about this from shannon gabriel. england were in big trouble, it would have been worse had joe root been caught. we knew with three seamers in the line—up, we had to ask them to come back for more spells and if they were able to bowl in a decent partnership to weather about storm, it is quite a quick scoring ground if you get bad balls. it is whether they are a good spells and make sure we had enough wickets at hand to try and capitalise when they do have to come back for the third and fourth spells. lewis hamilton has trimmed sebastien vettel‘s championship lead to seven points after victory in the belgian grand prix. having equalled michael schumacher‘s

7:44 pm
mcgregor was in trouble, his energy sapped, he was clinging to the ropes for survival. the end soon followed for survival. the end soon followed for a fight that had in trade and repulsed many given the language and behaviour of both men in the build—up. behaviour of both men in the build-up. after 21 years in the sport of boxing, i had some great fights and some boring fights but at the end of the day, i will always be remembered asa the end of the day, i will always be remembered as a winner. somehow believe that this fight would be a forest but in the end it was far from it, but the controversies remain, so to the deep unease about a fight that was unapologetically put on, primarily for the money. a fight that was unapologetically put on, primarily for the moneym was an enjoyable experience and a great learning experience. i am happy with it. i would love the win. to sports great showman delivered
