hello and welcome to sportsday. coming up: manchester united marched their way back to the top of the premier league. lewis hamilton has the upper hand in the formula 1 drivers championship. he wins in singapore while rival driver sebastian vettel crashes out. and after all the build up, boxing's biggest fight in the decade ends in a controversial draw. manchester united are back on top of

the premier league after a convincing 4—0 win over everton. it turned out to be a miserable return to old trafford for wayne rooney. at old trafford, time for wayne rooney's return. now in the blue of everton, he was greeted with gratitude. sometimes, for a moment, football achievements transcend tribalism. but there we re were no points to be proven and few have been making the case more firmly and directly than manchester united this season. directly than manchester united this season. antonia valencia's strike in the opening moments. a goal of which wayne rooney would have been proud. it took until the second half for his moment. dog—eared as ever but not the finished 0ld his moment. dog—eared as ever but not the finished old trafford has come to expect. he was withdrawn before united finally went loose.

there was this goal and there was no sentiment from the player. a fourth—macro goal in a penalty in stoppage time. everton have plenty to think about. everton is a very good team with a lot of very good players but they are in a difficult moment. important to start strong and try to improve their mentality as soon as possible. we failed to secure the game. second—half the quality came up. good players, solutions on the bench. the quality was a bit difficult for us but we we re was a bit difficult for us but we were always solid and with the second goal we knew we could win. were always solid and with the second goal we knew we could winm was all about our desire and i saw a team on the pitch this afternoon fight for every second, for every

ball. we did not school. it is a big defeat but we deserve much more than that. london rivals chelsea and arsenal played out a 0—0 match at stamford bridge. this goal was considered offside. and later louis was sent off for a high tackle. honestly, ithink and later louis was sent off for a high tackle. honestly, i think the game was open and it was a good game for both teams. both teams tried to bring the game and create chances to win the game. the commitment on behalf of my players was 100%. for this we must be pleased. we had team focus and discipline,

and great response as well. everybody expected today to see how we respond to what happened in the last game. we did it in a positive way. i even feel that there was a bit less inhibition because of what happened before. underneath that helmet lewis louis hamilton is a very happy man. he extends his championship lead to 28 points after closest rival sebastian vettel and his fellow driver crashed into max verstappen. lewis hamilton cut a dzsudzsak could

figure after qualifying only fish here in singapore. —— a dejected figure. this singapore sling left sebastian vettel, max verstappen and kimi raikkonen all feeling both shaken and stirred. god dammit! it was the first time in the history of the sport that both ferraris had crashed out on the opening lap of the game. in the midst of the broken dreams was lewis hamilton. after starting faith he said he needed a miracle and his prayers were answered as he picked his way through the wreckage to ta ke picked his way through the wreckage to take the lead. he has shown many times before he is a master of racing in the wet so it was this a surprise he claimed he is fifth victory in a row and seventh of the season. singapore could be the turning point in the destiny of the

championship. yesterday we struggled, and we had no idea what was going to happen today. we tried to stay focused and stay ahead. it was very fortunate as far as the beginning. soi was very fortunate as far as the beginning. so i couldn't be happier. i'm really grateful. we didn't have that friday pace we showed in practice to have the pace on mercedes, so a little bit disappointed to miss out on a whim but i still have to be pretty grateful and happy with another podium. great damage limitation today. we got lucky but the car was working better than expected today andl working better than expected today and i was really waiting for the opportunities. personally, i struggled in the wet with the pace but in the dry it was pretty good. so hamilton understandably delighted with everything that has gone on to date. his own performance, the car, and he knows that this could be the killer blow in the world championship. as for ferrari, they

have to stop licking their wounds and return in malaysia in two weeks' time. they have to win that if sebastian vettel is to stand any chance of reeling in hamilton in what are now only six races to go. it was supposed to be the fight of the decade, and while golovkin and alvarez did their bit, there was a lot of contention over the scoring. it was a draw. it was a draw. it should have been a memorable night of boxing. two of the best pound for pound facing each other on the weekend of mexico's independence day celebrations, but it ended on a sour note. a draw! many ringside observers believed the locking won. this is terrible for sport. the

atmosphere had built all week, with thousands of mexicans flying into las vegas to be pa rt part of what should have been a great fight and great event. alvarez, very much and great event. alvarez, very much a mexican idol, prepared for his toughest opponent yet. it was a good fight. golovkin was on the front foot throughout. alvarez had his moments but it is a difficult thing to make a case for him winning by eight rounds, as onejudge did. to make a case for him winning by eight rounds, as one judge did. the score of a judge that had been around for a lot of time i respect it but maybe she has seen something we did not see. after... it raises more questions about the credibility of the sport. amid the u nsatisfa ctory credibility of the sport. amid the unsatisfactory result, there is every chance that these two will do it again. britain's nicola adams was due to be on the undercard of that fight but

it was called off after problem with her opponent's pre—fight blood test. it was much better news for britain's billyjones saunders. he had been hoping to fight the winner of the locking — alvarez but still successfully defended his middleweight title last night. he w011 middleweight title last night. he won on points and it stretches his unbeaten record to 25 fights. in rugby union's premiership, wasps lost their home game in —— first home game in 20 matches. wasps have w011 home game in 20 matches. wasps have won theirfirst home game in 20 matches. wasps have won their first two games of the season and were looking to return to the top of the table but trolley walker's second—half try and points from the boot of marcus smith saw

aboufs government to president mac mood about‘s authority, dominated by his fata h about‘s authority, dominated by his fatah faction. —— a rival government to the president. we have seen rivalry between the two main political factions and the president took many steps, including cutting the money for electricity payments to gaza, which has reduced dramatically the amount of electricity received there, to four hours a day followed by 20 hours off. that has led to a worsening humanitarian situation in gaza as well. so palestinian people are broadly welcoming news that there is this new conciliation effort now. it is also been welcomed by others, for example, the un special envoy here, who said that all parties must seize this opportunity to restore unity and open a new page for the palestinian people. research suggests more
