6:33 pm
plenty to come across a wide range of sports but we'll start with the premier league and there were several eye—catching matches today. 0ur football reporterjohn bennett is with me here to cover all the big talking points. john, let's start with the derby at the london stadium between west ham and spurs. quite a game. great game to start the day, they were cruising, 3—0 up, totte n ha m , the day, they were cruising, 3—0 up, tottenham, then the sending off of serge aurier and the goal back from
6:34 pm
javier hernandez and suddenly they we re javier hernandez and suddenly they were under pressure. the london stadium once of course the olympic stadium is a place of happy memories for many but not totte n ha m , happy memories for many but not tottenham, they had lost their only match there ad for 30 minutes were subdued. suddenly they sprang to life. ericsson finding dele alli and inevitably harry kane, 1—0. harry kane is ingrained in the minds of defenders everywhere but he still manages to be a head in minutes. when dele alli could not score four minutes later, guess who could? this free kick them left west ham powerless and they were much observers when serge aurier found ericsson who took a lot out of the equation. 3—0 was too straightforward a story. javier hernandez gave the hammers hope before serge aurier played the villain, this tackle earned him his second yellow card. playing with ten men and it soon became only a one
6:35 pm
goal lead. but the stage was left for the leading man. some of the west ham fans left before the sending—off but nearly saw their snatched a point. yes, good performance from spurs up until the sending—off. serge aurier, his first premier league start. i think he will have to learn more about the premier league. he is a very good player, came from psg, and ivory coast international but a reputation of the pitch. i think the boss will have to have a word with him. pochettino took his players out for dinner earlier in the week it seemed to be paying off as they were in cruise control. that is now three we leave quins for tottenham and the first time since 1991 that they have won all three of their first away games. let us hearfrom mauricio pochettino. we played well and we fight. sometimes it is good to suffer a
6:36 pm
little bit because it means that you are alive and i think we played very well and we deserved to wind the game. we do not want to fall too far behind, there is still a long way to go but we have to try to wind every game. 0ur go but we have to try to wind every game. our home form has not been great this year, we have to try and pick up the points away and another begin next week. we've got to try and continue this run. there was enough at half—time to create something but the game was hectic with so many fouls. there was time wasting, to be fair. we are very disappointed because we lost the game but we showed good pride to come back. it has not been a good start for everton. and it looked like it might get even worse as they trailed at home to bournemouth, but they turned it round thanks to a man that the manager had treated like an outcast last season. yes, a great story, 2—1victory yes, a great story, 2—1 victory from
6:37 pm
everton and two goals from 0umar niasse. this man one year ago was an outcast, not even given a locker, his squad number was taken away from him and he was forced to plead with the under 23 ‘s. he has been forced to bring this man back in because they have sold lukaku and they are struggling up front. he scored two goals, brilliant performance, what does ronald koeman thing? he made him an outcast and now he is the hero. this is totally different world after winning and you always have the moment during the season and today was really a big victory and today was really a big victory and it will give everybody a boost, butjust and it will give everybody a boost, but just what we needed. and it will give everybody a boost, butjust what we needed. he didn't actually say sorry, did he? perhaps that will come later. fantasy football managers would have been expecting goals at the etihad this afternoon, and they weren't disappointed. not the kind of place that crystal palace would want to go while looking for their first point. yes, 5—0 defeat. the only team in
6:38 pm
the top five european leagues not just scored a goal. a43 minutes the top five european leagues not just scored a goal. 443 minutes they we re just scored a goal. 443 minutes they were stubborn and doing well, we created chances but the goal of leroy completely change things. raheem sterling got two goals, fabian delph and sergio aguero all on the goal sheet. superb second—half performance. roy hodgson was speaking to a few of his old england players, john stones and raheem sterling. it for him but for pep guardiola, and great day, the last few games, 5—0, 6—0 and again 5-0. we were not good enough with the ball. the ball should move and we did not move it. we have to move it better. the last ten minutes of the first half, we started again to play well and that helped us a lot to score the first goaljust before half—time. in the second half we
6:39 pm
we re half—time. in the second half we were at the level of the last few weeks. today was a harsh lesson. edward had been better had the legend not been so harsh but even if we had lost the game 1—0 we might have felt better about ourselves but we did not create enough chances. certainly any second half, to come back at them. the goals will fall when that happens. —— follow. manchester united are keeping pace with their city rivals at the top of the table. a tougher afternoon for them at southampton, but another three points. and again, romelu lukaku was the hero, six premier league goals already for manchester united but this was the definition of winning ugly. this was the definition of winning they this was the definition of winning this was the definition of winning ugly. they got that goal on 20 minutes, second half, southampton we re minutes, second half, southampton were in charge. david de gea had a busy afternoon. i do not thinkjose mourinho will mind that, they showed great resilience to hold on. he was sent to the stands just before the end, but he does not know why. i
6:40 pm
think it was encroaching on the pitch and trying to time waste. he shook hands with every member of the backroom staff, time wasting. let us hear from jose backroom staff, time wasting. let us hearfrom jose mourinho. backroom staff, time wasting. let us hear from jose mourinho. the way that we attack is something that i know already, it is something we have been doing since the beginning of the season. to defend against the team that is having a go at us against the team that is trying everything to score a goal and rescue a point, that was the first time that has happened to as the season and i am happy with that spirit. we control "it is difficult against manchester united to do that because they have a lot of players on the counterattack, even with long balls with fellaini and lukaku. we we re balls with fellaini and lukaku. we we re really balls with fellaini and lukaku. we were really focused, we arrived in the final third and we created some chances, but we must improve in the final third. there chances, but we must improve in the finalthird. there is chances, but we must improve in the final third. there is a theme and thatis final third. there is a theme and that is impressive performances by most of the big title contenders.
6:41 pm
chelsea were no different. an impressive performance by the champions. 4—0 chelsea won at stoke. yes, alvaro morata with a hat—trick. antonio contejust a yes, alvaro morata with a hat—trick. antonio conte just a few days ago finally waved goodbye to diego costa who has gone back to atletico madrid. he has been proven right at the moment, morata was superb. the first goals he has scored with his feet, his previous calls for chelsea had been headers. but full defending from stoke city. antonio conte was delighted with that performance from morata. in the last two games, our striker, he has scored a hat—trick and we had batshuayi and now we have morata. this is great. we are creating chances to score and have a good player to take these chances. creating chances to score and have a good player to take these chanceslj think good player to take these chances.” think the score flattered them, we had 13 awde shots on goal, they had
6:42 pm
seven and scored four of them. we help them along the way, we made a couple of catastrophic defensive errors and they have the quality to capitalise on those moments. 0ne match taking place as we speak, leicester city against liverpool. liverpool are playing well, they went 2—0 up, mo salah playing well yet again, they got the first goal. it was a freaky get. philip coutinho then scored the second. —— free kick. leicester city got back into it. that was a foul on simon mignolet. you can see him holding his arm. 0jha zaki in the end got a touch. he changed the game in midweek in the league cup when leicester city ended up winning. 2-1. leicester city ended up winning. 2—1. liverpool still reading, about 20 five minutes to go. —— 0jha zaki.
6:43 pm
-- shinji 20 five minutes to go. —— 0jha zaki. —— shinji 0kazaki. 0ther talking points from the other games. swansea city against watford. tammy abraham got the opener for swa nsea tammy abraham got the opener for swansea city. but andre gray and richarlison getting the winners for watford. it is early days, still only six games played, but that is an impressive top five with watford looking good in sixth position. excellent performances by all those top four teams and at the bottom, sadly, crystal palace... when that change? we are still without a goal. very difficult for them. you can see how important this game is for
6:44 pm
leicester city against liverpool if they can get back into it. thank you very much indeed for the moment. celtic already look ominously in control in the scottish premiership after just seven league games this season. the gulf in class between brendan rodgers side and their old firm rivals rangers was clear to see. celtic extended their their run of unbeaten domestic games to 57 with a 2—0 win at ibrox as chris mclaughlin reports. into a cauldron of noise and colour, celtic swaggered, all the confidence ofa celtic swaggered, all the confidence of a side unbeaten domestic week in 56 matches. they almost scored in less tha n 56 matches. they almost scored in less than 56 seconds. in a match for tackles a re less than 56 seconds. in a match for tackles are known to fly, even the managers were not safe. no foul given, no penalty eitherfor this clash between moray loss and similar rich. no goals in the first half but minutes after the interval... it was no more than celtic deserved for their dominance. the rangers boss pedro caixinha was less than impressed with his defence. the home side had the odd glance at goal but
6:45 pm
having conceded only the odd season, celtic stood firm. just after the hour murk, it was two, patrick roberts was the provider and leigh griffiths did what he does best. it played out as many predicted and those in green and white simply loved it. they were a different level than rangers. rangers probably got into the game in small bursts, ten minutes in the first half and ten minutes in the first half and ten minutes in the first half and ten minutes in the second half after celtic have scored but winning 1—0 or 2—0 at ibrox any day, you will ta ke or 2—0 at ibrox any day, you will take it. to get the dead, the invincible is looking once again unstoppable. —— take it, the dead,. —— take it, they did. there were also wins for hibs and stjohnstone. kilmarnock dundee ended 1—1. partick thistle conceded late to hearts. that game finished 1—1. rugby union, and an exciting conclusion to the aviva premiership match between harlequins and leicester. four of the game's five tries were scored in the second half. eventually it was leicester
6:46 pm
who prevailed, winning by 31 points to 28. james burford reports. here are the different results... a worrying sight for england fans, there was a leg injury in the match between saracens and shields arcs. —— sale sharks. vainikolo. rugby league — wigan warriors' unlikely hopes of reaching the super league semi finals were ended by wakefield this afternoon. wigan lost 32—nil in what will be their final game of the season.
6:47 pm
five tries for wakefield were shared amongst the players — keegan hirst grabbed the final one. elsewhere, warrington wolve beat hull kr while catalan dragons are drawing 4—4 with widnes vikings, that game is early in the 2nd half. it's a new version of the sport, and this weekend super league triathlon is on display injersey, with many of the best known names taking part. jonathan brownlee is among them, and our reporterjen smith is there with them. first jen, what's different about super league triathlon? i'll give it my best shot, james. as you mentioned, this is the first super league triathlon events to be held in the british isles and, in fa ct, held in the british isles and, in fact, the northern hemisphere. the super league triathlon is very
6:48 pm
different from the traditional triathlon, today was essentially about three mini triathlons. the disciplines are mixed up and there isa disciplines are mixed up and there is a ten minute break between each event and the very fastest athletes, they get the most points and that gives them a distinct advantage going into tomorrow. the fastest, it a very short and fast course and some of the athletes are eliminated if they are too slow. it is very much a spectator event and the course is designed with spectators in mind. everywhere you go around here you can see crowds cheering the world's best athletes on. beautifully explained, but the key question i suppose is how are getting on? i saw thatjonny brownlee was in third place at the moment. absolutely, jonny brownlee had a very strong race but u nfortu nately, had a very strong race but unfortunately, a chaotic transition for him coming off of the bike in the third leg which saw him drop down to third. that is where he
6:49 pm
stayed in the overall men's standings. the men's race was run by norway's blumenfeld and the defending champion of super league, richard mawrey, he was third. there isa richard mawrey, he was third. there is a lot of strong competition from the men which featured the likes of the men which featured the likes of the current world number one muller. alistair brownlee, he was also present but unfortunately, he was injured and he was on the microphone commentating. the events today also saw the first ever women's super league triathlon to be held anywhere in the world and that was a much more straightforward affair. that was won by the american competitor with the swiss competitor close behind. a few brits were within the top ten and because of that point system, it is not ruling them out for tomorrow. the big money is at sta ke for tomorrow. the big money is at stake tomorrow with the men's and women's winner each receiving £100,000. all to play for going into the final day of the super league travelled here injersey, which is,
6:50 pm
of course, tomorrow. looks like a glorious day there as well, thank you very much for that. dutch champion chantal blaak recovered from a crash to win the world cycling road race championships in norway. britain's hanna barnes was 14th. it was a surprise result, and rochelle gilmore was there to watch it for us. well, we have had a glorious day of sunshine ina well, we have had a glorious day of sunshine in a burden for the elite women's road race at the world championships. fascinating race. the dutch were the team to beat, we predicted it would be a dutch winger, perhaps not this dutch winner. yes, it was a surprise that it was chantal blaak in the end but we said they were so strong on paper that it would be the athlete that ta kes that it would be the athlete that takes the opportunity i get that opportunity and chantal blaak got timing right with that attack. we thought it might come down to a bunch sprint but it was a solo ride. we have a lot this week. yes, we thought we might see some sprint finishes. the race today was so
6:51 pm
exciting, with hannah barnes and dani king animating the race.” think that britain could probably we re think that britain could probably were the second—best team in the race, the chase down every attack and attacked themselves, what did you make of the bridges performance? 0ne you make of the bridges performance? one of the best i have ever seen hands down and it was great to see that a diamond come here any support full, not knowing herform but to present opportunities for her team—mates. dani king and hannah barnes really surprised me today. they just kept barnes really surprised me today. theyjust kept going and i was on the edge of my seat. in the end they did not get the result they deserve for the ride that they have. big chance again to model and the men's road race, they have a long ride down to bergen and ian there will to the circuit. pierce egan is the favourite. yes, ithink the circuit. pierce egan is the favourite. yes, i think a lot of people would like to see him take that rainbow jersey people would like to see him take that rainbowjersey again. a really exciting race with michael matthews representing australia and the as well. peter ciganda really wants this. he is talking it down but tomorrow he will turn himself inside
6:52 pm
out to try to get that jersey again. the norwegians will feel that they have a strong hand as well. great britain have ben swift and another rider could be predicted. yes, they could go into the raise more open—minded about who will get the opportunity in the end, but they have a strong team, theyjust do not have a strong team, theyjust do not haveit have a strong team, theyjust do not have it clear ambition to write for one rider. it will be interesting to see what cards they play tomorrow. 0ne see what cards they play tomorrow. one thing is for sure, it will be well supported, the crowds have been fantastic year and burden of it. the race fantastic year and burden of it. the ra ce coverage fantastic year and burden of it. the race coverage you can watch live from nine o'clock on the red button and we will be on bbc two one o'clock. some stunning locations, jersey and bergen. we could have a new heavyweight champion in the world later as well. that is if hughie fury can beat the reigning heavyweight title champion joseph parker. victory for parker could move him
