improving day, starting with the showers in the cell. these should ease and inland just one crew showers open up. these are hit and miss and many will avoid altogether. temperatures 15—18 degrees. a bit cool on the east coast at times, a breeze. a cool breeze on the east coast on monday, but most are avoiding the show was altogether. temperatures put — i7 avoiding the show was altogether. temperatures put — 17 degrees. —— avoiding the shoppers. a bit cool in the north—east. this is bbc news. the headlines at 7:30pm: police are investigating whether more than one person was involved in the parsons green bomb attack after an 18—year—old man was arrested in the departure area at the port of dover. at this stage, we are keeping an

open mind as to whether more than one person is responsible for the attack and we are pursuing numerous lines of enquiry at great pace. detectives are searching a house in sunbury—on—thames in surrey in connection with the attack on the london underground. residents in surrounding properties have been evacuated. at least four people have died in a crash on the m5 motorway in south gloucestershire. a lorry went through the central reservation, hitting at least two other vehicles. borisjohnson has revived his contested claim that leaving the eu could save the uk £350 million a week. writing in the daily telegraph, the foreign secretary also said the uk should not pay for eu single market access. he said a lot of that amount could be spent on the nhs. and hundreds of thousands of ryanair passengers are warned their flights could be cancelled during the next six weeks, in a bid to improve the punctuality. now on bbc news, sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday with me tim hague.
7:33 pm
the headlines this evening... manchester city can't stop scoring. them to a 6—0 win at watford. there's no roy of the rovers start for hodgson. his new palace side have now lost their first five premier league games and fail to score again. and sebastien vettel is sensational in singapore. he takes pole position ahead of tomorrow's grand prix, but championship leader lewis hamilton can only manage fifth. also coming up in the programme: another huge fight night in las vegas approaches. we bring you all the build up to alvarez versus gennady golovkin — two of boxing's biggest punchers. we begin with the day's football, and manchester city just
7:34 pm
can't stop scoring — 6—0 they beat watford this afternoon. now topping the premier league table on their own, with manchester united not playing until tomorrow. sergio got itjust cheering away from the all—time manchester city goal—scoring record. much of the day for a third goal. he is likely on messy. raheem sterling with the penalty. gabriellejesus. maybe controversial offside calls but they thoroughly deserved this. manchester city. they can't stop scoring. 15 goals in the last three games, if you include champions league. next up they play crystal
7:35 pm
palace. let's hear from league. next up they play crystal palace. let's hearfrom pep guardiola. it's complicated, that's the champions league. just three days the next game, i didn't expect to win in this way. i am so happy for the players for their commitment. three more points, especially for the way we played. city is strong enough, we made some mistakes in the first goals we conceded but the first goal, everybody said to me, it is offside. the third goal was offside. the second goal, we made a big mistake. after half time we made some reaction but the first and third is offside. it's not a normal game. the next great repeal —— the next game is for crystal palace.
7:36 pm
from the terraces to the top job, roy hodgson‘s life now comes full circle. taking charge of crystal palace, the club he supported as a boy. these won't be the circumstances of which he once dreamed. he is inheriting a crisis at crystal palace. if that wasn't obvious before, it was soon crystal clear. southampton took the lead after little more than five minutes. steven davis scored. welcome home. if crystal palace are to arrest that dismal form, they need to start scoring. even with the likes of christian benteke, that is easier said than done. first—half chances limited. clearly frustrating. for the former england boss, these are perhaps familiar feelings. after the break, palace created some chances. but fraser forster in fine form.
7:37 pm
this was no fresh start at selhurst. they now become the first team in top—flight history to lose their first five games without so much as a goal. hodgson carries little blame for that but it is his job to turn it round. looking ominous for palace. breaking the kinds of brokers who don't want a break. other statistics as well. the first time they haven't scored in six consecutive games since 1995 and january. a huge task on his hands. i have to mention southampton mariel, excellent work from him. second win of the season for southampton. we didn't play well enough as a team or individually to get
7:38 pm
the result we wanted to do. that's a fact of football life. words don't win you football matches, performances do. today, i'm afraid, we came up against a better team and lost. despite their great win over russia dortmund on wooden stick, tottenham hotspur is continued their league struggles. they have failed to win at the temporary home in the premier league this season. wembley is finally starting to feel like on. midweek win in the champions league and something for spurs to blogger. harry kane has been crucial to that, for goals in his last two games. with confidence in abundance, anything seemed possible. swansea had it covered for 110w possible. swansea had it covered for now but that didn't stop spurs coming forward. the visitors at their best, to keep them at bay. all
7:39 pm
that control yet parity on the scoreboard. harry kane thought he'd got a breakthrough at the start of the second half. frustrations started to creep around wembley. harry kane came close again. england striker didn't let up. another chance. the list of call —— fields of goal remained so. the players started the show irritation. one must goal trans. —— one last. but what have to make do with a point that they should have converted into three. so many chances. is this not working? with the biggest talking about that when they beat dortmund so about that when they beat dortmund so impressively. they kept christian eriksen cried. on another day,
7:40 pm
totte n ha m eriksen cried. on another day, tottenham would have won the game. i don't think they should be too worried. they 75% position. two draws and a defeat this season at wembley so far. a bit of a struggle for liverpool at the moment, conceding five last weekend, dropping points in the champions league on wednesday and now more points dropped in the league against burnley. 1-1 1—1 draw. it was equalised after the call for burnley, which strained enfield. they had so many shots, 35, seven more than manchester city had today. city scored six goals. liverpool only scored one. very disappointing. i'm not happy about the result. i am unhappy about a big part of the performance. you probably saw the recent away games of burnley, they won the last home game
7:41 pm
with four shots. i'm not sure they were all on target. 1-0. today, until the last two corners, i think, one shot on target. we could have lost the game in this situation. overall, we deserved it in a different way. similar to last week. but different. it's harder to play and keep the call. they were ready to press. they make it tough. they made seven changes, freshness. a lot has been made of set piece, maybe they are not as good with aerial stuff. we exaggerated our game plan today. we exaggerated today. i'm not afraid to get the ball forward anyway. now newcastle fans must have been a bit worried when the season started. two league defeats and a league cup loss to nottingham forest. but what a difference a couple of weeks makes? three league wins in a row against stoke city today. three wins from their first five games, first time they've done that since 2000. shakira equalised, then
7:42 pm
sells with his second winner in two games. rafael benitez knows it's a great start to the season. these players worked very hard. sometimes there are problems but after the reaction of the team, we know they are doing all they can to give us the points. i won't say they will win all the time, this is impossible, but at least we will compete and be capable of winning games. we've played better than that in recent weeks, we were a bit loose in terms of accuracy of passes. in saying that, newcastle looked to put pressure on and hit us on the break, we had to be vigilant at these moments. — got into the lead for the second time.
7:43 pm
that was disappointing after working hard to get back on level terms. not the best result for stoke city. so, let's have a look at all the results from today's premier league games. only two shots on target in the game between west brom and west ham. the first player to start 600 premier league games there. he has equalled orang ta kes' record. league games there. he has equalled orang takes' record. 632. iam guessing that will be last on much of the day. john is politely saying that it wasn't a classic. and here is the table too. manchester city top of the tree ahead of their rivals united who play everton tomorrow. look at city's goal difference too. newcastle to fourth. tottenham on
7:44 pm
death after the frustrating draw. same old problems for liverpool as last season. failing to put pressure. “— last season. failing to put pressure. —— cotton on fifth. let's stick with football, as championship side birmingham city have sacked manager harry redknapp — after six straight defeats in all competitions. the former tottenham and portsmouth boss kept birmingham up last season, after taking charge with three games remaining. but after agreeing a one—year deal and signing 1a players over the summer, the blues currently sit second bottom and were beaten 3—1 at home by preston today. to make matters a bit worse for blues fans, there was good news for city rivals aston villa. they've been struggling in the championship too, but got a convincing 3—0 win at barnsley this evening. albert adomah got their first two, before keinan davis rounded off the victory. elsewhere in the championship leeds' unbeaten run came to an end
7:45 pm
as they were lost 1—0 at millwall. leeds, wolves and cardiff all have 17 points at the top of the table, wolves beat nottingham forest 2—1. sol bamba's late equaliser earned cardiff a point against sheffield wednesday, he scored in the 94th minute. there were also wins for in form preston, bristol city, burton, middlesbrough and norwich. hull and sunderland drew 1—1. disappointment for deeping rangers, from the ninth tier of english football, as they lost in the second round of fa cup qualifying against kidderminster. it was the biggest match in the club's history but the peterborough—based united counties side were beaten 4—2. in the scottish premiership, aberdeen drew 1—1 with kilmarnock, it means they now sit two points behind champions celtic who eased past ross county 4—0. dundee recorded their first win of the season with stjohnstone suffering their first defeat — 3—2 the score at dens park. hearts won away at hamilton 2—1 and louie moult scored twice as motherwell came from behind
7:46 pm
to earn a point at hibernian. ben stokes has been rested for this evenings twenty20 match between england and the west indies at his home ground chester—le—street. the all rounder will play in the five—match one—day series that follows. eoin morgan's side won the toss and decided to bowl with chris gayle racing to a0 runs off just 21 deliveries. but gayle's lack of pace was seriously exposed with a combination of jason roy and liam plunkett running him out. then evin lewis was caught byjoe root just after making his half—century. west indies are currently 142 for seven after 16 of their 20 allotted overs. sebastien vettel will start on pole ahead of tomorrow's singapore grand prix. lewis hamilton will begin from fifth. which means the ferrari driver will feel confident about surpassing his rival in the drivers standings come race day.
7:47 pm
tom clarkson is in singapore for us. with formula 1 being a mechanised sport, it's sometimes difficult to work out whether it's the car or the driver making the difference. during qualifying for the singapore grand prix, we were left in no doubt about the talents of one man. wo0h00! yes! no wonder sebastian vettel was happy. after losing his championship lead to lewis hamilton last time in italy, pole was vital. seven of the last nine winners have won from pole in singapore. for much of qualifying, it looked as though max verstappen would take that. his red bull team dominated practice and he clocked the quickest time in the first two sessions. but sebastian vettel had been keeping his powder dry. mercedes usually do the same but
7:48 pm
they'd said beforehand they which trouble at this track. —— they would struggle at this track. hamilton and bottas ended up fifth and sixth. it suited ferrari perfectly. verstappen couldn't match vettel‘s times. despite clipping a wall, the four—time world champion went even quicker. with three cars and more than half a second between him and hamilton, the german will expect to regain his championship lead. very, very happy. the car was amazing. it's an amazing track if you feel that the car is coming alive and you can do what you want to. i knew we had it in us. it was a bit of a struggle to get there. now i'm just happy. just a shame you couldn't get on pole, the final lap was not great but we were quite close. i'm happy with that. it will be difficult to pass on during the race. i'm still confident about victory. we've got a great package. seb turned it on in qualifying but i'm feeling positive. sebastian vettel understandably happy with his pole position. the 49th of his career.
7:49 pm
lewis hamilton is starting in fifth. he said he needs to perform a miracle if he is to get anywhere near sebastian vettel. the ramifications of what happens in this grand prix could be huge. there are just three points between hamilton and sebastian vettel. all to play for. rugby union now and leicester tigers won their first game of the season, by beating gloucester 24—10 at welford road. the tigers had lost their first two league games, but ran in three tries inside the opening 20 minutes, two from ben youngs and this one from australia winger nick malouf. the other premiership game of the day between newcastle and saracens kicks off at 10pm tonight in philadelphia in the united states. meanwhile munster maintained their unbeaten start to the pro14
7:50 pm
season after a 21—16 win over ospreys at the liberty stadium. the hosts took an early lead, but two first half tries gave the irish side an eight point advantage. and while several second half penalties put ospreys back into contention... that late penalty from tyler bleyendaal sealed the victory. elsewhere there was a win for leinster, at southern kings 31—10. there's two matches kicking off later, cheetahs and zebre have just got underway, it's currently 33—25 cardiff host glasgow, 7—0. one other rugby results to bring you, and world champions new zealand have completed a record victory over south africa in auckland, thrashing them 57 points to nil. the all blacks were ruthless as usual, running in eight tries. scott barrett was among the scorers, while his older brother beauden kicked 17 points. it was new zealand's biggest winning margin over the springboks. london broncos will not be in super league next season after losing 38—16 to widnes vikings
