spaniards day was about to get even spaniard's day was about to get even worse. united struggles escalated. and with barely half an hour played, it was three. united were shell—shocked. brentford fans couldn't quite believe what they were seeing and they had a fourth before half time to complete one of the most remarkable 45 minutes in premier league history. the changes in the second half with the returning christian eriksen trying to salvage some pride. but with the fans discontent building off the field, problems for united may take some time to solve after a day to forget in west london.— some time to solve after a day to forget in west london. apologies for a technical glitch _ forget in west london. apologies for a technical glitch before _ forget in west london. apologies for a technical glitch before we - forget in west london. apologies for a technical glitch before we went - a technical glitch before we went into the report there on a 4—0 win for brentford, who were simply magnificent against manchester
7:37 pm
united. obviously that follows on off the back of their opening—day defeat at old trafford to brighton. and if get any reaction from the manchester united manager to that 4-0 manchester united manager to that 4—0 defeat at brentford today, we will bring it to you. more to come from that game later, but earlier, manchester city put on a show in the sun at the etihad — sweeping past newly promoted bournemouth, winning by four goals to nil. the damage was done in the first half — city going in at half time with a 3—0 lead, after goals from ilkay gundogan, phil foden. an own goal in the second half sealed the win, with summer signing erling haaland surprisingly not on the scoresheet today. he did provide one of those assists for one of the goals. but the defending champions have the early lead at the top

of the table, with six points, six goals scored and none conceded. we start, i think, in four orfive minutes, and a question of time. we did really well. minutes, and a question of time. we did really well-— did really well. another insane kevin de bruyne _ did really well. another insane kevin de bruyne performance. | did really well. another insane - kevin de bruyne performance. you have _ kevin de bruyne performance. you have seen — kevin de bruyne performance. you have seen so many beautiful goals from _ have seen so many beautiful goals from him. — have seen so many beautiful goals from him. i— have seen so many beautiful goals from him, iwonderwhere have seen so many beautiful goals from him, i wonder where that one ranks? _ from him, i wonder where that one ranks? ., .,, ., from him, i wonder where that one ranks? ., ., . ranks? today was a fantastic goal. it was not ranks? today was a fantastic goal. it was not a _ ranks? today was a fantastic goal. it was not a space. _ ranks? today was a fantastic goal. it was not a space. it _ ranks? today was a fantastic goal. it was not a space. it was - ranks? today was a fantastic goal. it was not a space. it was an - it was not a space. it was an excellent goal. he it was not a space. it was an excellent goal.— it was not a space. it was an excellent goal. he 'ust played auainst excellent goal. he 'ust played a . ainst a excellent goal. he 'ust played against a world _ excellent goal. he just played against a world class - excellent goal. he just played against a world class team, . excellent goal. he just played - against a world class team, really. at times _ against a world class team, really. at times really difficult. the qualities were obviously there to see _ qualities were obviously there to see i_ qualities were obviously there to see. i speak probably for many managers _ see. i speak probably for many managers will come here and play against _ managers will come here and play against this team and probably face the same _ against this team and probably face the same circumstances and the same outcome, _ the same circumstances and the same outcome, really. endeavour, tried everything — outcome, really. endeavour, tried everything we could in that moment.

7:41 pm
and it was gerrard's aston villa that took all three as they beat everton 2—1. jo currie reports. steven gerrard once around the england midfield alongside frank lampard. today, their sides met in the blazing birmingham sunshine, both looking for their first wins of the season. the visitors thought they had gone ahead through anthony gordon, only for a late call to be made by the linesman. no such confusion at the other end. villa on the break, ings on the turn. a knockout first half goal. in the second half, chances were thin on the ground. after the drinks break, villa looked the more refreshed as they pushed for a second. but one way or another, everton kept them out. and then off the line. until this move and did the defence, with lucas digne looking likely back to the three points. but everton weren't done yet and their pressure
7:42 pm
finally paid off, albeit through a own goal. it was too little, too late for frank lampard's site, as this turned out to be stephen gerard's day. a nervy finish there, but villa getting their first points on the board. let's hearfrom both managers. i am really pleased with the level of performance. i believed if we found that level we would improve from last week. last week was not good enough and the outcome we deserved, but this week, what we have put into the game the quality and goals we scored, maybe we could have scored more, no—one can challenge the outcome of the game. we well deserved our win. defensively, i thought when we were set we were very solid today. they didn't give us too many problems, as i say. it was those transition moments, those are always the case — new players or not. the reality is some of our players have
7:43 pm
just arrived in the last week, in the last two weeks. amadou's on the bench, of course i want to get him on the pitch. he's not fit enough so we had to be patient in the early parts of the season on that front. here are the other results — brighton and newcastle following up their opening day wins with a goaless draw. newcastle had their keeper nick pope to thank for the point and a goal—line clearance from kieran trippier. fulham's alexander mitrovic had a penalty saved as they drew 0—0 at wolves. rangers have made it three wins out of three in the scottish premiership and are top of the table after beating stjohnstone 4—0. malik tillman put them ahead after half an hour. goals followed from antonio colak, scott arfield and tom lawrence. it's their seventh straight home win. motherwell are up to third, they won 3—2 at aberdeen. livingston beat hibernian 2—1 and are 4th. st mirren 1, ross county 0. champions celtic play tomorrow. after all the problems with registering new players
7:44 pm
this summer, barcelona have named most of their new signings in their starting line—up as they begin their la liga campaign against rayo vallecano tonight — kick offjust under half an hour away. barcelona have been balancing the books to comply with la liga's strict limits on their spending. because they are heavily in debt by about a billion. robert lewandowski, franck kessie, andreas christensen and raphinha were only cleared to play in then last 2a hours after the club sold off various assets. jules kounde, however, is still unregistered. so he cannot play today. they are right mess, barcelona. great britain have moved to the top of the medal table after a brilliant day for the rowers at the european championships. there was also a silver in the gymnastics at the multi—sport event. our correspondent nesta macgregor is in munich. if you are lucky, a walk in the park usually ends with an ice cream.
7:45 pm
today, for some, it ended posing with a european gold medallist. and gb has a few more if there is now. the women's for set the tone, the european title to go with their world cup crown. not long after, the men's for secured another. they barely had time to get out of the water before a gb�*s women topped the podium. gp hat—trick of h20 heroes, and they weren't done yet. the most dominant performance of all came in the main's eight.— the main's eight. great britain... qa the main's eight. great britain... 0a boat party. — the main's eight. great britain... 0a boat party, sort _ the main's eight. great britain... 0a boat party, sort of. _ the main's eight. great britain... 0a boat party, sort of. it - the main's eight. great britain... 0a boat party, sort of. it is - the main's eight. great britain... i 0a boat party, sort of. it is there was a nice _ 0a boat party, sort of. it is there was a nice place _ 0a boat party, sort of. it is there was a nice place to _ 0a boat party, sort of. it is there was a nice place to be, _ 0a boat party, sort of. it is there was a nice place to be, looking i 0a boat party, sort of. it is there i was a nice place to be, looking back on everyone. we have to keep pushing forward now in world championships. these guys will get stronger. but could it provide inspiration for the gymnasts? into the women's team final, alice kinsella vying for her second of the championships. in the end, the team had to settle for
7:46 pm
silver, as for the dance moves that followed points deductions for not being in sync. so it has been a wonderful day for the gb team on the water and a satisfying silver from the gymnastics arena. tomorrow, can the gymnastics arena. tomorrow, can the medal rush continue? siblings will go head to head, jessica and jennifer get a rover. the athletics in munich doesn't start until next week. and the british team will include its new world champion at 1,500 metres, jake wightman. he followed that up with a bronze at the commonwealth games. he spoke to my colleague hugh ferris about how it's not always easy to stay motivated during such a busy year. it's pretty tough the rest of the season, because we don't finish until september so i've still had two months of racing and just under a month left now. and it definitely is hard because you want to just
7:47 pm
enjoy what you have done and go on a break and be able to let it sink in a little bit. and i think it will definitely make the winter months a little bit easier to get through, because there are some bleak moments there where you wake up and have to drag yourself out into the rain and do a run on your own. that's pretty boring. knowing you are a world champ and the incentive of defendes next year is something that i think we'll hopefully make the winter a lot easier for me. find we'll hopefully make the winter a lot easier for me.— we'll hopefully make the winter a lot easier for me. and how tough was it? when you — lot easier for me. and how tough was it? when you go _ lot easier for me. and how tough was it? when you go into _ lot easier for me. and how tough was it? when you go into something - lot easier for me. and how tough was it? when you go into something like l it? when you go into something like the commonwealth games so quickly after the world championships and then on the europeans as well, there is a sense that if you have constant competition it is self motivating. but actually it is quite difficult. if you win the next one, the expectation must be massive when you go into numbers two and three. the first one go into numbers two and three. tue: first one being go into numbers two and three. tte: first one being the go into numbers two and three. tta; first one being the biggest go into numbers two and three. he; first one being the biggest was possibly the hardest thing. the other thing around, everything is building up to the world champs. at winning the waltz was the biggest thing i could do this season, so
7:48 pm
everything afterwards was tough. the turnaround, including thejett lag, was about two weeks for me. i struggle to get myself motivated to race again, especially the 1500. i just try to convince myself that anything else in the season is a bonus on top of what i have already done, and to go to commonwealth and try to win a gold for scotland is what i wanted to do. unfortunately i mentally and physically wasn't quite on it. but do still come home with a bronze for them is something i am almost more proud of because there was more pressure, a lot more stress and fatigue to get that medal. so i'm almost as proud of that one as i am for my world title, and hopefully i can pick up something else in munich next week. the i can pick up something else in munich next week.— i can pick up something else in munich next week. the final question is that ou munich next week. the final question is that you have _ munich next week. the final question is that you have two _ munich next week. the final question is that you have two schools - munich next week. the final question is that you have two schools of - is that you have two schools of thought amongst sportspeople who have people in crowd, some say i block it out completely, i can't hear a thing. but others have the ability because of such a recognisable voice being within thousands of others that they can
7:49 pm
actually pick them out. when the recognisable voice for you has a microphone and a very powerful pa system, which one is it? can you hear it while you are racing? mr; system, which one is it? can you hear it while you are racing? my dad has been commentating _ hear it while you are racing? my dad has been commentating on - hear it while you are racing? my dad has been commentating on my - hear it while you are racing? my dad l has been commentating on my racing since i was at school, and as you can imagine having your dad at your sportsday isn't the coolest thing. and i think it has been a lot of time of shutting him out a little bit. i hear his voice enough that i'm good at muffling it now. i think it is nice knowing, especially in tokyo where there was no crowd, knowing that he is always there, watching from the best seat in the house. and if you need a reminder of that, you can hear over the tannoy. i'm lucky to have in a lot ways because it is guaranteed that he is there in the stadium, and if he can be part of a win then that is is even more special. taste be part of a win then that is is even more special.— even more special. we are all lookin: even more special. we are all looking forward _ even more special. we are all looking forward to _ even more special. we are all looking forward to the - even more special. we are all. looking forward to the athletics next week at this multisport competition in munich. let's get back to today's action.
