7:33 pm
to come over the next half an hour, but we start tonight at stamford bridge. chelsea and arsenal always looked likely to be the game of the day and that's exactly how it's turned out. two new managers, five goals between their sides, joe lynskey was watching. the premier league landscape is a lwa ys the premier league landscape is always shifting. new faces bring in new eras. arsenal and chelsea have both switched to the winning managers were on proving coaching pedigree. the new ideas meant i0 or the brutal mindset. emery inherits a tea m the brutal mindset. emery inherits a team that's to play through. the opening goal was familiar picture. injanuary
7:34 pm
opening goal was familiar picture. in january they signed from opening goal was familiar picture. injanuary they signed from one of £50 million but he hasn't hit the heights of. important moments. the ball was at the other end. ma rotta the ball was at the other end. marotta justifying his own price tag. the sort of arsenal displayed to sum up their decline both sides we re to sum up their decline both sides were coming. the mr and close range but then scored the higher chance. was the start of a five—minute reprisal. there again to set up a leveler. a sign of things are not still the same. too often the flesh the brilliance are just that. 0ver 90 minutes this of way. the dominant second—half capped by marcus alonzo's era. and it still has the same problems. bbc news. let's have a first look at the rest of today's action in the premier league withjohn. to wembley first, where harry kane has finally broken his august duck. remember he'd never scored for spurs in august before today, 15 matches in total he has now.
7:35 pm
he scored tottenham's second in their 3—1 win over fulham at wembley. the golden boot winner at the world cup continuing that run. how many will the england captain get now that he's got his scoring boots on earlier this season. that man lucas moura got his first goal for spurs their opener. after fulham equalised, the moment of the match, kieran tripper‘s superb free kick. almost identical to the one he scored for england in the world cup semifinal this summer. so how does kane feel about finally breaking that duck? 7 and has a played on his mind so far? something obvious they know about and a lot of people like to talk about it, but for me i said before
7:36 pm
when you score in everything you touch turns to gold so it doesn't. and always seems to be august that it doesn't for me. that's the score today. always room for improvement and that's what i will try to do. the same things we need to improve, i think the same things we need to improve, ithink i'm the same things we need to improve, i think i'm a little bit disappointed because we can see a lot of chances today. we dominate of course and have the victory but disappointed because we can see too much for me to be more consistent and trying to avoid the chances that we concede to put in the same way i am happy because after the difficult start in chances am so happy with all the players. tana had a lot of criticism following the lack of business that they did in the summer tra nsfer business that they did in the summer transfer window. how how did newcastle's kenedy stay on the pitch against
7:37 pm
cardiff in the early game. have a look at this the brazilian kicking out at victor camarasa. let's look at the replay. very lucky to stay on the field. there was a red card, it went to issac hayden for this lunge from behind. but newcastle were awarded a penalty when cardiff captain sean morrison got his arm in the way of this cross from yoshinori muto. and giuess who took the spot kick. kenedy. and his effort was saved. for the cardiff fans they will perhaps feel justice was served after his earlier offence went unpunished. but having seen one man sent off and another lucky to stay on, manager rafa benitez didn't want to talk about the referee.
7:38 pm
i have a lot of things that i would like to analyse, but i will not talk about the referee. what about the penalty? we saw dwight gill taken last season. any debate about kennedy taking it? the second one was kennedy. in the goalkeeper guessed correctly? it was a poor penalty. we know that was a poor penalty. we know that was a poor penalty. so he is distraught, understandably? he's not happy because he missed the chance but we win asa because he missed the chance but we win as a team, we draw as a team, and we lose as a team. i was relieved because i don't think they deserved to get the with a penalty like that. it's always a blow the amount of effort that we put in as well. and anyway i thought it was poeticjustice, really. in fairness to the referee i never saw either of them. he was not watching the
7:39 pm
aftermath of that and he spotted a foul that i don't think even he thought it was as bad as it was. perhaps justice done and the and there. more football to come in a few minutes. we'll be talking celtic after a difficult week and we'll be looking to cristiano ronaldo's debut forjuventus. but first adam — a big test match at trent bridge to talk about. and england perhaps regretting putting india into bat on te opening day of the third test. yes england won the toss. england won the toss. but it has been india's day closing on 307 for six. it was all rather underwhelming from ben stokes on his return to the test team. as virat kohli the india captain and ajinkya rahane combined to put india on top before both were removed just short of their centuries. patrick gearey‘s been watching. few cricketers will ever have a week like ben stokes has had. from the trial to the test in four days, this was trent bridge's welcome back. if that was mixed, then so was his first bowling spell.
7:40 pm
the occasional edge and accidental barge all pretty innocuous. but england have another all—rounder — not stokes, but chris woakes who coaxed the first wicket. shikhar dhawan gone. next over he removed the other opener, kl rahul. england's man of the match in the last test had worked so hard for those two, he deserved a bonus. it came when cheteshwar pujara got greedy and ruined his lunch. three for england, three for woakes. but after the interval, look at the changing colour on screen — brighter, that tends to mean better for batting. virat kohli prospered for a session in the sun. he went to 50, and importantly for india, this time ajinkya rahane came with him. they put on 150 and looked so settled that the game hit a lull — attention can drift to the next page, not alastair cook's. that catch to dismiss ajinkya rahane was at more than 80 mph — it looks tough enough in slow motion. still, virat kohli was set for a century until, on 97, adil rashid bowled him a cracker — guess who took the catch.
7:41 pm
yes, ben stokes. patrick gearey, bbc news. jimmy anderson rented for much of the day before he got them with his final ball. hard work for both sides. test cricket, that really tests. patrick gearey, bbc news. let's go back tojohn for more of the headlines from today's football. where there was another red card today, for the leicester forward jamie vardy who can have few complaints, his side beating wolves 2—0. this was the incident, a really high lunge from the leicester man on defender matt doherty who'd scored an own goal. in the first half to put leicester in front. no arguments from vardy. as he was given his marching orders and his manager agrees. he did it around there. he touched
7:42 pm
the ball and perhaps too much there. sometimes he has his ideas and hope you can come back quickly. it was an own goal that gave leicester the earlier advantage. on a more positive note for leicester, their new signing james madison got his first goal for the club. he arrived from norwich for £20—million this summer and will be pleased to open his premier league account so early into the season. big things expected from him. they stood a very sharp. when inequalities they were going to bring. maybe not that look. what you noted last week and it's nice to get
7:43 pm
the free points. i was back my staffer. i was made to play at this level and i was worked really hard to get here. i take it all in stride and keep pushing. here's all of today's scores from the premier league — everton got their first win of the season, richarlison on the scoresheet once again as they beat southampton 2—1. should mention that danny ings got his first goal for southampton in that one. and there was a really good win for bournmouth, they came from behind to beat west ham 2—1 at the london stadium. in scotland celtic put a difficult week behind them as they reached the quarterfinals of the scottish league cup with 3—1 at partick thistle. brendan rodgers' side took an early lead, scott sinclair putting it on a plate for leigh griffiths. remember celtic have been knocked out of chamnpions league qualifying this week. they lost to in the premiership last weekend, they might have thought their week was about to go from bad to worse when the championship side equalised. but two goals in two minutes from moussa dembele and this effort from tom rogic made
7:44 pm
sure their losing run is over, celtic through to the next round. the shock of teh day came at dundee as division one ayr united beat their premiership hosts three nil, the home side did have two players sent off in that match. while stjohnston needed extra time to edge out queen of the south from the league below aberdeen are through to the last eight after beating st mirren four nil, gary mackay steven with two goals. and hearts are through, beating dunfermline one nil. to the championship, where the day's biggest winners were west brom, they thumped qpr 7—1. but in the late kick—off a graham burke goal gave preston north end a 2—1 lead at half—time, after stoke's erik pieters cancelled out paul gallagher's opener from the spot. but a 200th goal in english fooball from substitute peter crouch helped stoke city get their second consecutive draw. after his multi million pound move from spain to italy, cristiano ronaldo made his
7:45 pm
juventus debut today. and it started with a win, but onlyjust. he didn't score — his best effort was this attempt against chievo. two all with just minutes remaining, they had federico bernardhesci to thank who grabbed the winner late on to get the season off to a winning start. well ronaldo's clearly been settling in. he may be a five—time ballon d'or winner, but he's getting no preferential treatment from his team—mates. here he is belting out some portuguese rock at the club's initiation dinner. leo bonucci got involved having made a return to his former club. goes to show there is a good mood
quote
7:46 pm
there with him settling in. and emre can who joined the italian champions from liverpool and we'll have the best of today's social media from the pl a little later. also coming up in the programme. there's a big night of british boxing in belfast to look forward to. carl frampton and tyson fury top the bill at windsor park. and dina asher smith had it all her own way at the european championships in glasgow. could she continue her dominance in birmingham today? well as thomas mentioned it's a really big fight for tyson fury there's a big night of boxing in belfast to look forward to. carl frampton's the official headliner at windsor park, but his fight with the australian luke jackson is in danger of being overshadowed by a very big warm up act — tyson fury, who fights the italian francesco pianetta. 0ut reporter thomas kane is there. this is the biggest boxing event
7:47 pm
ever held in belfast. 0ver this is the biggest boxing event ever held in belfast. over 20,000 fa ns ever held in belfast. over 20,000 fans are set to pack inside the national football stadium here at winter park. hometown favourite carl frampton is a star attraction. he's a former world champion it takes on the ashley and underdog luke jackson. everyone has an amazing job. everyone and the fans are backing us is going to be a special night. was going to happen in the ring tomorrow night? i'm going to win. i don't predict anything else but i'm going to win. tyson fury is also back on the card. the heavyweight champion wants to set up a classic windows to fighters later on this year. i just want to do my best. i'm not trying to send any messages out. and would also be looking at the future, how important
7:48 pm
is it to not be complacent? i'm looking past francesco pianetta. i have trained hard and prepared well. that's all i can do. if you listen to them. their fight and the clash with luke jackson on bbc five live though. well as thomas mentioned it's a really big fight for tyson fury if he's to realise his dream of becoming world heavyweight champion once again. as our boxing pundit steve bunce explains — fury already has more than half an eye on his next fight. ringside here in belfast in front of 25,000 people outdoors under the elements. a5, 39 stoppages and an awful big mouth. he and states that have already had a bit of a pushing and shoving and screaming match. effect here in belfast last night we hit them with that piece of chicken
7:49 pm
and the crazy time here. test a theory has to look good in the ring. he finds welder and even new york or las vegas, the deal was done. what a fight that would be tonight. going to fight for tyson fury if he can get through that one. she is the new golden girl of british athletics, britains triple european champion dina asher smith was back competeing in today's diamond league meeting in birmingham where she finished second in what was a really strong field. it contained the 1—2—3 from last years world championships. after a strong start she came through to finish second behind shaunne miller—uibo, who is the olympic a00m champion. but after a superb few weeks dina asher smith was clearly pleased obviously i want to, put on a good race for the home crowd because i love competing in front of home and a better. i'm so tired, i'm so tired. it was such high calibre, it was like being in the elliptic finals, so i'm really happy
7:50 pm
ifinished the race. i was like, good to go back and sleep. obviously as going to turn up and do my best in the moment today. european 1500 metre champion laura muir won the women's 1000m in birmingham — as she was attempting to beat dame kelly holmes' 21—year british record — which she missed by around one and a half seconds. in the 100 metres final it took a photo finish to separate the winner — america christain coleman — and britain's reece prescod who finished second. both clocked the same time of 9.94 seconds. lets round up some of today's other sports headlines, and. salford boosted their super league survival hopes with a second successive win in the super eight qualifiers — over widnes at the aj bell stadium. they scored five tries in the 32—6 victory, while ed chamberlain kicked six from six.
7:51 pm
catala ns remain bottom of the super eights, wigan still second. in rugby union, the all blacks made it 13 wins in a row in the rugby championship this morning. they thrashed australia 38—13 in sydney. waisake naholo got a couple of second half tries for the world champions. mark johnston has equalled the all—time record number of british winners for a racehorse trainer. the horse dr richard kimble won at ripon to give johnston his 4,193rd victory, reaching the mark set by richard hannon senior. johnston trained his first winner way back in 1987 and his victories have earned 53 million pounds in prize money. britain's swimmers are having their own ‘super saturday‘
7:52 pm
on the penultimate day of the european para swimming championships in dublin. they're just over halfway through this evening's session and there's already been eight british medals, including a clean sweep in the women's s14100m butterfly. paralympic champion ellie robinson has also been in action, claiming gold in the s6 50m butterfly — and she's taken the opportunity to speak out about the need for better mental health support for athletes. ink up and doing quite a lot of work and birmingham. from its a house and birmingham. from its a house and things like that. but working on not being so, going for the world record and being happy with the process and this definitely things in the process if we go better but at the minute it's being happy with what we've got. i'm busy not enough
7:53 pm
that people are doing to help athletes with mental health. going to use this about not a cry for my help but things being done. i'm not going to name names about things being done. if anyone is out there that can help athletes with a mental health. it's not the competition, it's helping and training and the highs and lows of training sessions, going from a really major meet in having to wait for another four yea rs having to wait for another four years for another one. a lot needs to be done. paralympic canoeing champion emma wiggs will bid for her sixth successive world title in portugal next week, and her biggest challenge will come from her closest allie. fellow brit charlotte henshaw is now a serious challenger having switched to the sport from para swimming. they'll go head—to—head in the kl2 class and nick hope has been to meet them. i'm 38. i've been canoeing for five
7:54 pm
yea rs i'm 38. i've been canoeing for five years and in the current european world and paralytic champion. i'm 31 and a former swimmer. i went paralytic metals at london 2012 andrea 2016. i started canoeing in 2017. two women paddling for one gold. they have very different reasons for taking up para canoeing. as soon as i got in a boat i felt something was right. i love moving quickly, it was out of the wheelchair and for me it was a chance to really see what i could do with the bits of me that worked to make that boat go as fast as i could. we are sitting at the closing ceremony in rio with the swimming team and i thought, "i don't want this to be it". i would need to find a way of trying to get myself to another one of these things. got in a boat and something clicked that gave me that new lease of life that i needed. a new sport meant a new rifle which
7:55 pm
has brought benefits to both athletes. i knew of emma and she'd won everything there was to win and she was a brilliant athlete. for me to have someone like charlotte is an incredible motivator, but also a real support. she's very encouraging. she's an incredible competitor. we want to dominate the world together. seems like a friendly rivalry. we are good friends off the water, but any athlete wants to line up and win, but if she beats me, she's putting the work to do so. they are friends off the water, but practically foes off it. with an always holding the advantage in the head—to—head battles but charlotte having won the most recent encounter. it all means we could be said for something pretty special at the world championships. over the last few races, we've had very tight racing, but the times we are doing are far in advance of the rest of the world. if we are on that start line in a good state, we can put on a show for the world.
7:56 pm
i would be pretty confident. nick hope reporting. before we go a look at some of the reaction to today's premier league. alan shearer wasn't impressed with his beloved newcastle, or indeed cardiff in the early fixture. there was also history in that match as newcastle's jacob murphy and cardiff's josh became just the second set of twins to face each other in the premier league — the others incidentally michael and will keane. we can see this is what they used look like as youngsters and both newcastle fans. in the murphy home today and were probably pleased that was a draw the end. confirmation here of harry kane's first premier league goal in august — he does so at the 15th attempt, after 17 hours, 45 minutes
7:57 pm
of play in the month. also a terrific goal for kieran trippier in that match, a free—kick that had shades of the one he scored in the world cup semifinal for england — gary lineker one of those to notice the similarity. it's goals like that that make him so loved in his home town of bury in greater manchester — if you didn't know already the town's dedicated a car parking space at lidl to the man they call the bury beckham. if you have a car parking space that is dedicated purely to you you have made it. reminder of our top story. chelsea beat arsenal 3—2 in the premier league. marcos alonso with the winner after arsenal had fought their way back from 2—0 down. and what a master was. and that is
7:58 pm
