7:32 pm
the brighton forward did the damage, as he bounced back from defeat last weekend, to win convincingly against newcastle at the amex, in the late kick off. the third of his goals — taking a deflection to deceive nick pope in the newcastle goal. brighton winning 3—1, with newcastle yet to win since the opening day. brighton seemingly back on track, with all three points this evening. manchester city are the team to catch at the top of the premier league table though. it's four wins from four, as the champions today dismantled fulham 5 goals to i at the etihad. featuring a hat—trick from, you guessed it, erling haaland. three goals in the second half were enough to put marco silva's side away, that's six goals in the campaign already for the norwegian striker, this week named pfa player of the year. the last of his goals from penalty spot. but the second of city's, scored by nathan ake, caused much anger for silva. who felt the goal shouldn't have stood, due to interference in the build up.
7:33 pm
it isa it is a huge mistake. just people that never play football and don't understand nothing about football, and you can see that player doesn't have influence in the goalkeeper decision. with the ball in the direction of the player the goalkeeperjust direction of the player the goalkeeper just dives. direction of the player the goalkeeperjust dives. if that player moves, the player when moves it is a moment for the goalkeeper because the ball goes in the position of that player. the player is a clear offside position it is clear outside, in any part of the world. so city top with that 100% record, but tottenham hot on ther heels. they also banged in 5. as they easily got past burnley at turf moor. heung—min son with a hat—trick of his own. they were given a scare early on, lyle foster put burnley ahead.. but ange postocoglou's side found their groove, and blew their opponents apart as the game went on, cristian romero's curling effort from the edge of the box completed the turnaround on the stroke of half—time.
7:34 pm
james maddison was also on the scoresheet. they maintain their unbeaten start, but burnley, yet to register a point still in this campaign. we grew into the game and when you go a goal down there are a couple different ways it can go but so far we have been tested a few times, this is our third away game in a week. third away game in the league out of four. i believe that the way the guys are tackling this task in maintaining the belief in our football. ~ , ., ., , maintaining the belief in our football. ., ., , ., , football. we played against a very aood side. football. we played against a very good side. lots _ football. we played against a very good side. lots of _ football. we played against a very good side. lots of quality. - football. we played against a very good side. lots of quality. i - football. we played against a very good side. lots of quality. i think| good side. lots of quality. i think especially, — good side. lots of quality. i think especially, coming back and have time, _ especially, coming back and have time, you — especially, coming back and have time, you know, a billy series period — time, you know, a billy series period of— time, you know, a billy series period of collapse. i can think of a positive _ period of collapse. i can think of a positive here and there but the number— positive here and there but the number of chances we created but of course, _ number of chances we created but of course, the — number of chances we created but of course, the result is as clear as this— course, the result is as clear as this then — course, the result is as clear as this then it— course, the result is as clear as this then it is not good enough and we know—

this then it is not good enough and we know that it is a tough, tough league _ we know that it is a tough, tough league. stilla we know that it is a tough, tough league. still a lot of room to improve _ league. still a lot of room to improve so we have got to get to work _ work. chelsea's poor start to the season continues after suffering a 1—0 defeat at home to nottingham forest. anthony elanga came off the bench to score the winner for steve cooper's side. it's only forest's second win away from home since returning to the premier league last season. long time coming, to be honest. but to come somewhere like stamford bridge against this team and get a result but we did today and the way that we did it is one i think the players deserve. after what went on at old trafford last weekend parts of the arsenal performance and definitely, the supporters, you know. everyone knows the support that we have but, on the road, we fell short since we got back into the premier league so far as to get up the premier league so far as to get up and running this season here today, it is really rewarding for everyone involved. i today, it is really rewarding for everyone involved.— today, it is really rewarding for everyone involved. i think it is a matter of— everyone involved. i think it is a matter of time. _ everyone involved. i think it is a matter of time. it _ everyone involved. i think it is a matter of time. it is _ everyone involved. i think it is a matter of time. it is a _ everyone involved. i think it is a matter of time. it is a process. | matter of time. it is a process. keep— matter of time. it is a process. keep positive, we said at the beginning of the season, were going
7:36 pm
in a different direction. you know, we wiii— in a different direction. you know, we will settle all the players who arrive _ we will settle all the players who arrive at — we will settle all the players who arrive at the last minutes. sheffield united and everton finally have a point on the table. after drawing 2—2 at bramall lane this afternoon. both sides had lost their opening three league matches, so a draw means they both remain near the bottom of the table. patrick gearey reports. a day to look on the bright side. the perfect weather to lift the mood for both these sides with no points from three games, a little like as needed. especially when, like everton, you have not scored in the league since may. things change. the scorer, then, and then again. everton fans are always waiting for the catch, though. 20 minutes later, sheffield united revealed it. cameron archer with an arrow. he had his eye in and his confidence up so
7:37 pm
that even when he didn't quite hit the target, jordan pickford did. it would be easy to curse fortune and about to fade but everton fought back, nathan patterson, just when they needed something. and yet, in stoppage time, it seemed united would win it. pickford contorting to stop the game twisting. luck is temporary, heroes endure. luck is temporary, heroes endure. so the draw means both teams remain winless in the premier league, here's what the manager's had to say after the game. we can't grumble. probably, i think, the pleasing thing for me is that it was a really good game. i always talk about performance with our players. if they play like that i am happy, i players. if they play like that i am happy, i am players. if they play like that i am happy, iam proud players. if they play like that i am happy, i am proud of them. itjust shows how tough the challengers. the margins are so fine. we are disappointed with goals be considered but big part of that performance i am pleased with.
7:38 pm
better in the first two homes games but it— better in the first two homes games but it was— better in the first two homes games but it was decent again today and getting _ but it was decent again today and getting into really, really good areas — getting into really, really good areas. you have got to score and today— areas. you have got to score and today we — areas. you have got to score and today we did. we got two goals which is important, to get that kind of left of— is important, to get that kind of left of that sort of feeling, who is going _ left of that sort of feeling, who is going to — left of that sort of feeling, who is going to score? that makes a difference. a hard first game, obvioustv _ difference. a hard first game, obviously. another shift in today to -et obviously. another shift in today to get that _ obviously. another shift in today to get that two premier league fitness. we've _ get that two premier league fitness. we've got— get that two premier league fitness. we've got bodies coming back after the break— we've got bodies coming back after the break so that some positive sighs— the break so that some positive signs are — the break so that some positive signs are there. brentford left it late to salvage a point against bournemouth. bryan mbeumo's goal in the third minute of added time secured thomas frank's side a point in west london. mathiasjensen had given the hosts the lead before bournemouth hit back with goals from dominic solanke and david brooks. bournemouth, still searching for their first win of the season.. and the points shared in the end. i hope a lot of people will enjoy watching us because we are very entertaining and it must be a joy to watch. i think we in the first half,
7:39 pm
played well. i think we were fantastic second half and i think it was one—way traffic in terms of chances but that is football and that happened and i'm sure you played this nine times more, we were when the nine times. bath played this nine times more, we were when the nine times.— when the nine times. both teams could have _ when the nine times. both teams could have won _ when the nine times. both teams could have won the _ when the nine times. both teams could have won the game. - when the nine times. both teams - could have won the game. obviously, both could _ could have won the game. obviously, both could have. i think we were very— both could have. i think we were very close — both could have. i think we were very close to winning it. we were very— very close to winning it. we were very close — very close to winning it. we were very close to winning it. we were very close to the three points, probably. _ very close to the three points, probably, the way we conceded the second _ probably, the way we conceded the second goal. we finished less happy than them _ second goal. we finished less happy than them because we were even aimost _ than them because we were even almost touching the when. they were pushing _ almost touching the when. they were pushing a _ almost touching the when. they were pushing a lot, we were very tired in these _ pushing a lot, we were very tired in these last— pushing a lot, we were very tired in these last minutes and probably. so let's take a look at how the top of the table looks, manchester city flying high, four wins from four. and the champions are setting the pace early. tottenham are next, before arsenal and liverpool both have their matches tomorrow, against man united and aston villa respectively. forest there, up to 9th with that big win over chelsea. and the bottom looks like this,
7:40 pm
burnley still down there, but have played a game less. everton and sheffield united still among the early season strugglers. bournemouth, fulham and also newcastle down there too. who are in action right now against brighton. preston north end are top of the championship after a 2—0 win at stoke. as they maintain their unbeaten start to the season. earlier, sunderland thrashed southampton 5—0 at the stadium of the light and it was a day to rememberfor, 16—year—old, chris rigg. who scored their fifth goal. you can see all the day's efl results on the bbc sport website. the big game in scotland this weekend takes place tomorrow. with rangers and celtic meeting in the first old firm derby of the season. in today's matches ross county were 1—0 winners at kilmarnock. st mirren�*s 1—1 draw at livingston is enough to see them go top for 2h hours. and in the day's only other game stjohnstone and dundee drew 2—2. carlos sainz was more than a match for championship leader max verstappen in qualifying for the italian grand prix. the ferrari driver, edging it by the finest of margins, to start on pole at monza
7:41 pm
for the first time in his career. his team mate charles leclerc was third. all three were comfortably clear of britain's george russell in fourth and lewis hamilton who'll start eighth. nick parrott reports. carlos sainz turned 29 yesterday, and marked his birthday in the best way possible for a ferrari driver. their fans are the most fervent in formula i but like most teams have had little to cheer the season. the spaniard topped timesheets in practice. max verstappen was leading the way into the final session. he is aiming to win a record tenth face in a row this weekend but shows he is not infallible — mistake allowing carlos sainz to claim provisional pole. in the final runs max verstappen in the other ferrari leapfrog them both. the dutchman back in front but he only
7:42 pm
stayed there a moment when carlos sainz snatched pole back by just a 100th of a second. such an intense qualifying, especially 03. you know, all three went for it. we were very, very on the limit and in that lap i knew i had some lap time and i went for it. and it worked well and overly pushed hard on that last lap. we made some good improvements compared to yesterday, and in qualifying, you can see every qualifying session, it was very tight so i am happy to be second today. if carlos sainz�*s birthday celebrations are to make it into a third day he will have to produce another remarkable performance like this to beat max verstappen. there's plenty of british interest in the us open, as we approach the latter stages of the final major of the year. dan evans is in action against the world number one — with katie boulter also hoping to seal their places in the last 16. let's head to new york, and get the latest with our tennis correspondent russell fuller.

7:45 pm
match against her opponent from the united states who is 21 years of age. six years herjunior. they are very similar rankings. it is a difficult match to call but i think the way belcher has been playing, winning the nottingham title on grass injune in the third round of wimbledon and, like jack draper trying to reach the fourth round of a grand slam for the first time it should make her the favourite. cameron norrie very much favoured against his unseeded opponent and now, if you look at farm over the last year, he is in real trouble there, norrie. two sets down and a few minutes ago he was 4—1 down. just a single break. 4—1 down in the third set and that really is fairly typical of the farm he had in the run—up to this us open. we did not win a match between wimbledon and the us open and that they he was finding his feet over the first couple of rounds but being outplayed by the young italian so far in that third make great stuff. thank you very much indeed.
7:46 pm
a shock for england in the t20. the women's side lost to sri lanka, by 8 wickets. the first they've beaten england in the format. heather knight's side collapsed with the bat in chelmsford, as dan ogunshakin reports. the september sunshine was a welcome sight for sri lanka. there's been a struggle for grip in the rain but here, england failed to get to grips with their spend. alice came and went and then my quickly followed. england were in trouble. sri lanka were inspired. wickets falling at regular intervals, 104 all out and england nhl anchored stranglehold. having impressed with the ball, what about with the bat? initial signs are that good. in fact, she looked like a woman in a hurry, threatening the nearby balconies as well as the scoreboard. under pressure and underperforming, this was not to be the host day. sri lanka, where the

7:56 pm
more often than not, we've seen temperatures into the mid 20s, and although we might not quite reach 32, in the week ahead, 29 or 30 degrees is possible. so, some of the warmest weather of the year so far. there has been plenty of sunshine today. this was mevagissey in cornwall earlier today. the early morning cloud melting away across most of the uk to reveal those sunny skies, and yes, it felt pleasantly warm, with temperatures pushing on into the mid 20s across parts of south—east england and the midlands as well. overnight tonight, the majority stay dry, a few mist and fog patches possible. however, for northern scotland, outbreaks of rain will turn more persistent and heavier here through the night. temperatures on the mild side with 12 to 15 celsius, and looking at the weather picture over the next few days, we have this area of high pressure to thank for the fine, settled, sunny spell of weather that most of us will see. just a few weather fronts skirting around the periphery of that high. one of those weather fronts will be with us for northern scotland on sunday, and here,
7:57 pm
the cloud will be thick enough for occasional patches of rain, but away from the far northwest of scotland, it'll be another dry day, with any early morning mist and fog patches burnt out of the way. it will feel warm in that september sun, with temperatures in scotland and northern ireland of 20 to 23, warm enough. and 23 to 25 in england. and then, we have more of that september sunshine on the way as we look at the forecast deep into the new week. this is how monday looks. it is just the far north scotland where you might see a few passing patches of rain, with orkney, shetland, the hebrides, and the highlands most likely to see that. temperatures continue to rise otherwise. 27 degrees around the london area, and it is set to get even hotter than that as we get towards the middle part of the week. just the outside chance of a shower towards the south—west on tuesday. that weather front for northern scotland should get a bit more squished on tuesday, so a better chance of it staying dry and bright here as well. wherever you are, in the sunshine, it will feel pleasantly warm. that sunny, warm weather
7:58 pm
stays with us for most of the week as well. it's only really as we get into next weekend that we see a change, with the weather becoming cloudier, cooler, with the threat of some rain. but for most, a lovely spell of weather.
