in the english premier league on sunday. and they both ended in draws. liverpool and chelsea underachieved last season, so their meeting on the opening weekend was always going to be an interesting one, especially for the blues who have had a major rebuild and a new manager in mauricio pochettino, formally of p56 and tottenham. it finished 1—1 at stamford bridge. liverpool started really brightly, luis diaz scoring their goal after after 18 minutes. chelsea's equaliser came before the break, french defender axel disasi scoring on his debut. both sides had plenty of chances to score more but it was a point a piece with both managers fairly satisfied. a little bit more or more learn liverpool. yes, ithink a little bit more or more learn liverpool. yes, i think we feel pleased and i think we feel at the same time we wanted to win and we deserved to win but it

even though brighton had also been prepared to sell to liverpool. in sunday's other premier league match, tottenham began life after harry kane with a 2—2 draw at brentford. new spurs manager ange postecoglu saw both their goals scored by defenders, christian romero with the opener and emerson royal made it 2—2, brentford's goals came from a bryan mbeumo's penalty and they briefly led through yoane wissa. we handled ourselves pretty well in if it i couldn't ask any more of the players. we obviously got a good start of the game and then we had to take romero off and i thought we reacted well to that. obviously you concede a penalty and an own goal and then very easy for us to drop our heads but before we did that —— i thought we did really well after that and second half we controlled it for the most part but i just felt we may

thought about it and bayern munich got in touch, it was a decision i wanted to make. of course people talk about a record but look, i've got plenty of football left in my career and for now it is to concentrate on trying to achieve things here and trying to put —— push myself and the team in the club and that is all my focus is in right now. it's the second weekend of the scottish premiership season, champions celtic are top on goal difference with two wins out of two. they won 3—1 at aberdeen. liel abada, kyogo furuhashi and matt o'riley with the goals at pittodrie. no goals between hearts and kilmarnock and mika biereth came off the bench and scored what proved to be the winner for motherwell against hibernian. champions barcelona started their la liga season with an ill tempered goalless draw at getafe. both sides finished with 10 men

hello there. this upcoming week looks to be one of mixed fortunes. we're starting the week off with low pressure, much like we had over the weekend, but it could be really quite wet across england and wales in particular on monday. then from tuesday onwards, high pressure starts to build in. that'll settle things down, it'll turn drier and also warm up by the end of the week, but also turn more humid. and there is an increasing chance of showers or thunderstorms as low pressure tries to push in off the atlantic. back to the here and now, though, monday looks pretty unsettled for england and wales. a cloudy, wet start with the heaviest rain across wales. northern england could see some localised flooding as this rain continues to move northwards and improvements across the rest of england and wales into the afternoon. sunny spells, scattered showers and not a bad day for scotland and northern ireland. fewer showers here, more in the way of sunshine, light winds here, but fresher across southern and southeastern areas. those temperatures range from 18—23 degrees. and then as we head through monday
1:56 am
night, that area of low pressure continues to pull out into the north sea. many places will turn drier, one or two showers around, but lengthy clear skies and temperatures range from 11—14 degrees. so as we head into tuesday, then we're in between weather systems and higher pressure trying to build in. so a much better day for most areas, certainly for england and wales on tuesday. could just see the back edge of that low pressure system clipping east and scotland with stronger winds, outbreaks of rain. but that will clear away and into the afternoon. many places will see sunny spells and just a few showers, mostly light, but the odd heavy one couldn't be ruled out. so it could be up to 22 or 2a degrees in the southeast with lighter winds, more sunshine. for wednesday, high pressure sits on top of the country. it'll stay dry for most places and winds will be very light. so we could start off a little bit mist and fog, some low cloud central northern areas through the afternoon or there'll be plenty of sunshine.
1:57 am
there could still be an isolated shower through central and northern areas, but it'll feel a little bit warmer at this point. we could be up to 25 degrees, the warmest spots of the south. and then thursday, friday, we see high pressure to the east, lower pressure to the west. that'll start to draw in some warm and humid air off the near continent on a southeasterly breeze. so it really will warm up across southern and eastern areas towards the end of the week. could be the mid to high 20s, but there will be an increasing chance of showers and thunderstorms moving in from the west.
