costs tottenham against newcastle. and there was no fairy tale return to clay for andy murray — out of the french open in the first round. welcome along to the programme this evening. tennis and football coming up on a busy sunday but we'll start with the russian grand prix. lewis hamilton started on pole knowing one more win would have seen him draw level with michael schumacher on a record 91 race wins. but it was a frustrating afternoon in sochi for the world champion, as time penalties meant he could only finish third. here's our sports correspondentjoe wilson.
7:46 pm
these men control the russian grand prix. the stewards defined lewis hamilton's finish before he even began. they saw him practising starts in the wrong place — a dangerous place. park that for a second. commentator: lights out and away we go! the race itself began with the two black mercedes battling each other for the lead. hamilton lost it to valtteri bottas, and won it back. while, behind him, there was chaos. carlos sainz, and some signs. hamilton was first when his team found out he would be punished for the prerace errors. fancy telling lewis? team radio: there is a ten second time penalty for those start infringements. 0h, bleep! where is that in the rulebook? well, ten seconds' penalty served in the pits left hamilton 11. he fought back to third. russia deemed it safe for thousands to attend in sochi and watch hamilton's team—mate, his rival, finish first. valtteri bottas wins the russian grand prix.
7:47 pm
it doesn't matter, it's done now. take the point that i got and move oi'i. take the point that i got and move on. the race itself, great little comeback from you. not particularly, ididn't do comeback from you. not particularly, i didn't do much, just held my position. never give up, was the winner's verdict. well, it's been another incident packed day so far in the premier league — a hat—trick from jamie vardy gave leicester a huge win over manchester city. city actually went ahead through riyad mahrez but the first of three penalties got leicester level. then in the second half vardy added another with a clever finish before adding another to complete a hat—trick from the spot. james maddison then scored this wonderful goal to make it 4—1, and though city pulled one back, leicester scored another penalty to make it 5—2. very pleasing to think that tactically in the game the players
7:48 pm
we re very tactically in the game the players were very good, to be fair it's probably against my instinct for anyone who knows me that you feel with the level of manchester city and the quality they have, you have to condense the space you can build your game from there. i thought we did that brilliantly, in fairness to the players. the lack of creating chances, we got nervous, we got anxious and it happened many times and i didn't wa nt happened many times and i didn't want to play, they should look wanted to counter so we could not concede and then we gave three penalties so when this happens it's difficult to move forward. earlier in the premier league, another handball controversy denied tottenham three points against newcastle and leeds came out on top against their yorkshire rivals sheffield united. adam wild reports. rarely is the absence of fans more keenly felt than on derby day, especially in yorkshire. they haven't had a premier league derby there in nearly 20 years. but even without a crowd,
7:49 pm
such rivalry can provide inspiration enough. sheffield united looked almost certain to score here. leeds united's young keeper, with a quite brilliant save. an inspired performance made all the more significant when, withjust three minutes remaining, patrick bamford headed leeds a derby day winner, one worth the wait. at tottenham, waiting his turn, was gareth bale. spurs' star signing, still not quite ready. instead, he was left to what his new team—mates against newcastle. instead, he was left to watch his new team—mates against newcastle. it was all going well enough. lucas moura putting them ahead. but try as they might, they couldn't find a second. and, for the second time today, the drama came late. very, very late. video replays here, according to the officials, showed this was a handball. callum wilson, firing in newcastle's equaliser. spurs managerjose mourinho, so furious he left. his players, just left furious.
7:50 pm
jose mourihno did come back for the post match interviews — but he wouldn't be drawn on the handball call. that's not for me to comment. fantastic performance, deserved the points clearly. so we lost two points. i think their goalkeeper made 11 saves, you hit the woodwork twice. you were fantastic, especially first half. yes, we were and i don't know, maybe deserved man of the match unless you want to give that award to somebody who is not a player. i think we have lost the plot with it totally, i really do and i think it loses the spectacle also. we are waiting around for three or four minutes, is it a penalty, is it not, and if that had been the boot on the other foot, i'm1—0 up and i'm giving away a penalty like that, it's like, hang on a minute, this is ridiculous. so maybe we can do
7:51 pm
something about it. i don't know what it's like in the rest of europe and how it's interpreted but we seem to have these phases where we take everything literally to the letter of the law in the premier league and maybe we have to say no to it. west ham are 1—0 up at home to wolves through a jarrod bowen goal. match of the day 2 will have all the highlights later. there was a shock in the women's fa cup with everton knocking out chelsea at the quarterfinal stage. they came from behind to beat the reigning women's super league champions 2—1. valerie gauvin scoring to book everton's place in the semis, where they will meet birmingham on wednesday — their match against brighton went to penalities, after it was 2—2 after extra time. 4—2 it ended on spotkicks. and manchester city's 2—1 win over leicester means that they will face arsenal in thursday's second semifinal.
7:52 pm
rangers continued their unbeaten start to the scottish premiership season with a 5—1 demolition of motherwell. rangers were 3—0 up by half—time at fir park with james tavernier scoring twice from the penalty spot. cedric ittens also found the net twice after the break to ensure rangers will remain top of the table regardless of today's other results. elsewhere — celtic were 3—0 winners at home to hibernian to stay second. and aberdeen beat ross county by the same scoreline. to the french open now — where there was no winning return to clay for andy murray, as he was beaten in straight sets by stan wawrinka. also out from a british point of view on day one was johanna konta and dan evans. and i'm delighted to say david lawjoins us — part of the commentary
7:53 pm
team for 5live. let's talk about andy murray. it was tough, wet conditions but he couldn't find his mojo. now, he was a shadow of the man we have come to know as a world number one, a finalist at the french open before and up against a last man he played on clay there, that match was more than four hours long, this was just over an hour than four hours long, this was just overan hourand a than four hours long, this was just over an hour and a half. he struggled to come to terms with the conditions, he said he was a bit inhibited out there, his first serve percentage he only got 36% in but stand wawrinka was a worthy winner. and we look at a fairly miserable sunday, dan evans went out earlier and johanna konta was playing coco gauff. i think she will be disappointed because she was a semifinalist a year ago and never got going, she had a0 unforced
7:54 pm
errors in the match and evans had real chances to win, he was up in the final set against kai nishikori but couldn't get over the line so three british players, we would have expected one winner out of them at least. and you mentioned the conditions, come resort victoria aza renka conditions, come resort victoria azarenka refused to carry on, how tough is it looking out there?m azarenka refused to carry on, how tough is it looking out there? it is tough, it was 12, 13 degrees today, horizontal rain at points, windy conditions and cold, players were coming onto the court wearing most of their clothes and feeling pretty uncomfortable but they have to get used to it, these are unprecedented times in which we are playing a grand slam in the autumn in europe, this has never happened before so they have to get on with it but it isn't easy. and zip upjackets, remarkable seeing them on the court with them. david low, thank you, i
