he gave them the lead in the fifth minute, after gabriel martinelli's shot was saved. and 0degaard made it two just six minutes later. gabrieljesus looked set to shoot, but the norwegian nipped in ahead of his team—mate. arsenal's third came in the second half — a great effort from french defender william saliba's. this was his first goal in english football. yeah, we played a very difficult game _ yeah, we played a very difficult game from the beginning the way they came out _ game from the beginning the way they came out. they were really aggressive. we wanted to avoid that type of— aggressive. we wanted to avoid that type of game. we were really efficient — type of game. we were really efficient and ball possession. obviously, that gave us a lot of confidence to go through the game. earlier, harry kane had a milestone to celebrate, as his header earned tottenham a hard—fought win at home to wolves, where, this week, the main action happened on the pitch. matt graveling watched this one. antonio con te was back in more familiar surroundings, having shaken

off the shuffle. 0ne familiar surroundings, having shaken off the shuffle. one goal would make him the record scorer at the premier league at a single club. the weights continue. missed chances watched by a man who may have taken a few, but second—half spurs out swinging. kane still scourging a goal but finding the bar. the record 184 was held by sergio aguero. noah terry kane, 185 and counting, spurs. wolves continue to prowl, but today belong to putnam. —— tottenham. two wins and a draw to start

7:51 pm
all the results of the day, and still plenty to come on this third weekend. newcastle hosting manchester city. inaudible two points dropped for rangers will be far less happy with the officials than their host. believe it or not, this match took 44 minutes to get going. referee willie collum initially endeared himself to rangers by awarding the penalty scored by james tavernier. hibs had struggled to make an impact in the first half, but martin boyle drew them level six minutes after the break. game on. rangers' response was quick to arrive.
7:52 pm
but then, the pendulum began to swing back towards hibs. john lundstram's lunge produced the first red card of the afternoon, and it wasn't long before the ten men of rangers were reduced to nine. on another day, either offence might have been a yellow, and the men in green duly laid siege to the rangers goal, but it took a moment of magic from josh campbell to earn them a draw. drew savage, bbc news. elsewhere, curtis main scored twice as st mirren won 3—0 at dundee united. kevin van veen's penalty saw motherwell past livingston. kilmarnock are bottom as ross county picked up their first win of the season. aberdeen are up to fifth after beating stjohnstone. in the hundred, trent rockets women have beaten london spirit. england pair bryony smith and nat sciver shared a 97—run partnership as the rockets set london spirit 143 to win. sciver removed beth mooney

7:57 pm
evening and overnight, at least for most of us, it is going to be dry with clear spells. so, let's have a look at the forecast, then. here's the big picture, and in the last few hours we've seen a weather front moving southwards across the country. here it is. and it's been affecting northern parts of the uk, so a little bit of rain here, which is going to fizzle away as we go through the course of the evening. you can see it crossing parts of lancashire through yorkshire, approaching hull, and then there's really not much left of it. apart from a few showers here and there, maybe in western parts of scotland, it is looking dry and the temperatures will range from around ten degrees in aberdeen to 14 in london and about that in liverpool, too. so, the forecast for tomorrow, it's actually going to be a sunny day compared to today in the north of the country, but we are expecting more cloud in the south, and the reason for it is this weather front which will be approaching us. and a fair amount of cloud ahead of this weather front. so, here's the forecast, then, for the morning on sunday. quite a lot of cloud here across south—western parts of the uk, certainly for wales, south—western england,
7:58 pm
some spots of rain moving into mid wales, north wales, perhaps reaching merseyside by the time we get to the middle of the afternoon. but for many southern, eastern and northern areas, it's going to be a dry day and quite warm there. in norwich, 25 degrees, hull will be up to 23, and not far off 20, i think, for newcastle and for aberdeen, where plenty of sunny spells are forecast. now, on monday, the weather fronts are right over the uk and that means a lot of cloud and outbreaks of rain, at least early in the day. so, this is the morning. notice it's not raining everywhere. in fact, many parts of central and northern scotland are dry. most of the rain is across england and wales, but then, come the afternoon, it does look as though that weather front clears away and there'll be some sunny spells developing, and the temperatures respectable, around the low 20s, maybe the mid—20s there for east anglia and the south east. so, let's summarise that, then, and the weather for the rest of the week. typical weather for our shores, but quite warm at times. in the south and the south east, though, you can see temperatures
8:00 pm
this is bbc news — i'm ben mundy. the headlines at eight... sevastapol, the home of russia's black sea fleet in crimea, appears to have come under drone attack again. more travel disruption on train lines across the uk as thousands of rail workers strike for the second time in three days over pay and working conditions. we are determined to get a square dealfor our people and we are determined to get a square deal for our people and that is exactly what we will achieve, and the public seem to be right behind us in that campaign. michael gove backs rishi sunak to become the next conservative party leader and prime minister saying he has what the job requires. he says rival liz truss's tax policies will affect the poorest in society. and in boxing, anthonyjoshua faces unified heavyweight champion oleksandr usyk in saudia arabia tonight, in a must—win rematch.
