good evening, thanks forjoining us. we start with a stunning second half at anfield, where liverpool and manchester city shared four goals. liverpool went in front twice, including a fantastic solo strike from mo salah, but on both occasions city pegged their title rivals back. it finished 2—2. austin halewood reports. the first weekend of october — the days are getting shorter, the layers getting thicker, and already this felt like a crucial game in deciding the title. the current holders came to merseyside with their mind set on three points. they dominated early on, and the best chance fell to kevin de bruyne. but their early—season form has been enough to convince plenty of their title credentials. after the break, they finally clicked into gear, and with a forward line like this one, they don't need many chances,

sadio mane with the opener, city left thinking what should have been. but they did not have to think about it for long, because when foden got his next chance, he made sure of that one. city deservedly level, but often the best of players produce at the biggest of moments, and they don't come much better than mo salah — the best of runs complemented by the neatest of finishes. but city have a good player of their own, and kevin de bruyne did not let them down. what a game and what a title race it looks like we are going to have. lucky in the about half—time, and the second half was what people wanted to say, the beauty of football, both teams not giving up, we should have scored, an incredible

block, unbelievable. i we should have scored, an incredible block, unbelievable.— block, unbelievable. i love the premier league! _ block, unbelievable. i love the i premier league! congratulations, liverpool. — premier league! congratulations, liverpool, and of course my players and all _ liverpool, and of course my players and all the — liverpool, and of course my players and all the backroom staff. that is why both — and all the backroom staff. that is why both teams are fighting to win the premier league. what a game, ups and downs. _ the premier league. what a game, ups and downs, highs and lows. more than satisfied _ and downs, highs and lows. more than satisfied for— and downs, highs and lows. more than satisfied for the week ahead of us come _ satisfied for the week ahead of us come up — satisfied for the week ahead of us come up with the three games away, and we _ come up with the three games away, and we behave as a great team. great entertainment. _ and we behave as a great team. great entertainment, that _ and we behave as a great team. great entertainment, that match _ and we behave as a great team.

they began well, but they did not find a way past kasper schmeichel, something that vieira's side might come to regret. kelechi iheanacho is 25 today and gratefully accepted this present from andersen. six minutes later, harvey barnes' pass eluded andersen, and jamie vardy made it 2—0 to leicester. they usually win premier league games after taking the lead, but vieira had turned to youth, 19—year—old sub olise pulled one back in style, and if that was a quick impact, how about this? schlupp had been on the pitch for 48 seconds when he drew crystal palace level. 2—2 was how it stayed, they are still unbeaten at home. yes, i am disappointed, because i think we created enough chances even at the end to win the game. going 2—0 down at half—time was really harsh on us,

and we created enough chances and did not take them, and the other side created half chances and they scored. tottenham picked up a much—needed victory at home to aston villa. they'd lost the last three in the league coming into this one. spurs midfielder pierre—emile hojbjerg opened up the scoring midway through the first half. ollie watkins grabbed an equaliser for villa with 20 minutes to go. the teams were level for less than five minutes, though, as matt targett was off target, scoring an own goal, which proved to be the difference. and there was drama at the london stadium, as west ham thought they'd scrambled a point against brentford, who'd taken an early lead. but deep into injury time, yoane wissa, who got a late equaliser against liverpool eight days ago, drove in a powerful shot with virtually the last kick of the game. 2—1 to brentford, and their strong start to the season goes on. in the scottish premiership, rangers have gone top of the table after coming from behind to beat ten—man hibs 2—1 at ibrox, alfredo morelos with the winner.

celtic earned their first away win in the league since february after a late 2—1 victory over aberdeen at pittodrie. the visitors took the lead early in the first half, but aberdeen gave themselves a chance after lewis ferguson equalised with that header after the break. butjust six minutes from time, jota got the winnerfrom close range to put celtic six points behind their glasgow rivals. in the women's super league this afternoon, manchester city's poor start to the season continued as they lost at home to west ham 2—0. there were away wins too for everton, 3—0 over reading, and tottenham's women, who continued their 100% record with a 2—0 victory at leicester. let's round up some of the day's other sport away from the football now. there was a huge shock in the prix de l�*arc de triomphe, as the 80/1 shot torquator tasso claimed victory. with all eyes on the favourites, the german horse, ridden byjockey rene piechulek, made a late charge on the outside to claim the upset in the 100th edition of the race at paris longchamp. the winner of the derby, adeyar, could only finish fourth.

danny willett won the alfred dunhill links championship at st andrews. the former masters champion shot a final—round 68 to finish on 18 under par, two shots clear of fellow englishman tyrell hatton. and britain's cameron norrie is into the final of the san diego 0pen later, after he beat the top seed, andrey rublev. norrie recovered from losing the first set to take the next two forjust his second career win over a top—five player. norrie, who is currently the world number 28, will now face another big challenge, playing second seed casper ruud of norway for the title. for the first time since april 2019, thousands of runners took to the streets for the london marathon. there were 36,000 taking part, but the first to cross the finish line in the women's race was kenya'sjoycilinejepkosgei, while there was a surprise winner in the men's marathon. joe wilson reports. the mass start of the london marathon. it was back. the london 2021 marathon

finally under way. over 36,000 began, a little down on recent years, but a great street—filling expression of normal. our annual view returned of everyday people taking on the extraordinary. of course, there are those who make the distance appear simple. marcel hug of switzerland out on his own in the men's wheelchair race, winning in a course—record time. but now have a look at this sprint finish. that's david weir in the grey helmet, taking third place in yet another london marathon, looking as committed as ever — although retirement, he admitted, had been on his mind. it is my 22nd in a row, i don't know how many more i will do. it must be a record for me to keep on going. manuela schar, the other swiss star, was a clear winner, breaking her own course record. the weather was kind — cool, dry and still. for all the elite, that meant quick.

joycilinejepkosgei of kenya shook off her rivals at two hours and kept going to finish in her personal best time, sub 2:18. the men's race teased world record pace for a while — not quite. ethiopia's sisay lemma's winning time was two hours, four minutes and a second. not bad at all. the elite races are only part of the story. tens of thousands were doing the virtual london marathon in their own space and time. 0n the official course, well, many were going the distance in their own way. time is an abstract concept, just get there when you can, and if the last few steps seem almost impossible, there is someone to help you, even to carry you. it's not how or even where you start — it's how you finish. now, what is that toddlers' world record? joe wilson, bbc news.

exeter got their first win of the season in rugby union's premiership against 1a—man sale. sale were 10—0 up after ten minutes but had rohanjanse van rensburg sent off for a high tackle. henry slade scored two tries as he recorded 20 points in total. the 25—14 win moves exeter up to ninth place in the premiership table, while sale drop to sixth. leinster rose to third in the united rugby championship with a narrow victory over a dogged dragons team in newport. leinster led 7—0 at half—time, thanks to a max deegan try and ross byrne conversion. dragons narrowed the deficit to a point but couldn't overhaul their irish opponents. elfyn evans boosted his world rally championship title hopes after winning rally finland on sunday. welshman evans finished 11! seconds ahead of estonian 0tt tanak to close the gap on the title rival and team—mate sebastien 0gier

to 21! points with two runs to go. sonny colbrelli battled his way through the rain and mud and conquered the cobbles of northern france to win the men's paris—roubaix cycle race. it's nicknamed the hell of the north, and you can see why. gianni moscon was leading the race when this happened. and although he got back on his bike, he was overtaken by a three—man group including race favourite mathieu van der pole. but colbrelli came out on top in a very tired sprint finish in the roubaix velodrome — the first italian winner this century and a very emotional one. look at that, i don't think he is bothered at all about the mud. congratulations to sally colbrelli. we will see you next time.

hello there. with a mixture of sunshine and blustery showers today, it has been a day for chasing rainbows. this double rainbow was seen in lincolnshire later in the afternoon as the showers whooshed across from the west. and a rainbow in the shetland islands, it has been very windy early on, first some wet weather sweeping eastwards across northern scotland, turning dry overnight. a few showers keeping going overnight, particularly developing light across southern england and wales, the wind off the english channel meaning temperatures remain in double figures. with clearer skies, scotland could see four or five degrees. more showers tomorrow morning, but eastern areas dry, showers more likely out towards the west. the winds will not be as strong tomorrow, temperatures similar to today, and we have got rain developing by the end of the day, it will be a little cooler. the rain is coming from the steepening area of low pressure,

meaning the winds are strengthening around the low as it moves into the uk. curled around this area of low pressure, we have rain moving northwards into scotland, rain continuing across northern england and wales. to the south, turning bright and breezy, dry for northern ireland, but for many a windy day, particularly around coastal areas, and combined with the rain, it will not feel warm at all for large parts of the country, no higher than 13. the wetter, windier weather will pull away as the low pressure moves into continental europe, and high pressure builds in from the atlantic. wednesday is still cloudy and windy to start in eastern england with a few showers. the winds will start to ease down, and more of the country will see sunshine. with the lighter winds, a warmer day on wednesday, but we have increasing cloud and rain arriving into northern ireland by the end of the day,

and that is the next approaching atlantic weather system that will bring a ribbon of rain to the north—west. higher pressure in the south—east. that means we have a south—westerly wind which will bring some warmth and maybe lift temperatures close to 20 degrees later on.

this is bbc news, i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at 8. as the conservative party conference opens, the prime minister won't rule out a further tax increase but insists britain won't rely on immigration to boost the numbers of truck drivers to deal with the fuel crisis. the way forward for our country is notjust to pull the big lever marked "uncontrolled immigration" and allow in huge numbers of people. fuel retailers say supply problems are continuing in london and parts of south—eastern england but they suggest the "crisis is virtually at an end in scotland, the north and midlands". army tanker drivers are being deplyed from tomorrow —
