for the new season to start lasted a half an hour longer before planned. got in without too much trouble though. immediately see the sliding doors shut, because arsenal had done enough hanging around. smash them in front. last season �*s runners—up might have lost the power of surprise. 0nly makai 0saka saw that coming. here comes the hitch, some signing... behind the fallen 10 made the entering interesting. arsenal would suffer no further complications, they started late but remain on schedule. patrick gearey, bbc news. so arsenal off the mark 7 as are brighton 7 who opened their season with a convincing a71 win over premier league newcomers luton town. the goals coming from four different scorers today at the amex... solly march got them on their way. evan ferguson with a stoppage time fourth for

that's the benchmark for every player who is coming to buy munich. outside the stadium the fans' reactions were positive. it's a good player but it's too much for 20 years old. he's a bright star i think and he can add more. harry kane's exceptional talent has never resulted in trophies. that is almost certain to change. it seems ludicrous to think that he might actually win a trophy within the first 2a hours, the game he's
7:44 pm
playing here tonight, is the super cup, they are taking on leipzig, it's the equivalent of the chapter shield in english football, he could come on and play, he could on his first day, and get a bit of silverware, obviously it's not the biggest cup in the world, it's not the thing that is ultimately wanting to win here, but it is a bit of silverware. i think that may be rather hard for tottenham fans to see, realistically you come, you are going to win trophies. this completely dominates the league, it won't be the first thing he wins here. to the championship then 7 and middlesbrough�*s struggles in the second tier continue 7 one of the favourites for promotion were beaten comprehensively by coventry in the lunchtime kick off. matty godden and record signing haji wright were on the scoresheet, in 370 win for last year's beaten playoff finallists. darragh lenihan�*s stoppage7time own goal capped a miserable afternoon for michael carrick�*s side. it's the first time boro have lost their opening two league games since 2007.

very reserved, very calculated, but occasionally you can see the real aj bubbling up, the not so pr friendly aj telling helene is, find out. joshua committing himself to the cause, going out there with his mindset is to do damage, seek and destroy. that's one way to go about it, he probably could do that. i prefer him to go out and look dangerous, look for any opportunity, and the body to the head, when helene is tries england's charley hull ishares the lead ,shots off the lead as she finishes her third round at the women's open. the american ally ewing began the day with a five shot lead but now has plenty of company at the top of the

by for yet another weekend, it's been rather unsettled. saturday, again, blustery for the time of year with some blue sky and sunshine as captured by our weather watcher in perth and kinross. but also another good scattering of showers, some heavy and thundery very similar tomorrow weather wise, but the showers will be fewer and further between. less sharp in nature. still windy for the time of year, butjust not as blustery as today. and this is the satellite picture showing us where the areas of cloud have been, low pressure, very much dominant, gradually pushing further eastwards as we head through the rest of the weekend and we look out towards the south west on sunday night where there's some more rain approaching. but tonight then a lot of the showers will tend to fade away and there will be some clear spells around. still some showery outbreaks of rain, plenty of cloud across northern ireland. approaching western scotland by the end of the night is a mild start to sunday morning, temperatures down to between 1a and 16 degrees celsius. there'll be plenty of cloud around for many areas on sunday morning, but it should break up and we'll see some brightness and spells of sunshine develop, but still watch out for some showers,
7:58 pm
possibly thundery across the murray first, but elsewhere they should fall lighter and largely dry across parts of east anglia. i think where it will tend to be brightest, highest hit of 23 degrees, more cloud and some rain approaching cornwall and the south of wales by the end of the day. and that rain is set to move further northwards and eastwards through the day on monday into central southern england, as far north as northern england, some showers breaking out across northern scotland, but largely dry across scotland perhaps and across northern ireland. too bright spells, but watch out for a few showers across parts of east anglia. temperatures here still 22 degrees celsius in the best of that brightness on tuesday. that area of low pressure is moving away into scandinavia tuesday looking largely dry, maybe a few showers across central and western areas of scotland. and it could be quite a murky start to the day. but pressure starts to build towards the south of england. this is the position of the jet stream more or less as we head through next week. still a lot of debate about how far north it will be, but we're expecting that warm air from southern europe to move further
