6:32 pm
i'v e i've got some good things to focus on, so although i am not playing, i have a goal in mind. welcome along. thank you forjoining us. not an easyjob taking overfrom jurgen klopp, but it's nine wins out of ten in all competitions now for liverpool's new head coach arne slot. victory at crystal palace wasn't as straightforward as it should have been, but their 1—0 win at selhurst park means they'll stay top of the premier league going into the international break, as nick parrot reports. full—time at selhurst park, and diogo jota's full—time at selhurst park, and diogojota's face said it all. a lunchtime kick—off following a mid midweek european game has
6:33 pm
often been difficult for liverpool to digest, and this was no different. palace have yet to win this season, but they struck after 21 seconds through eddie nketiah. had he not been offside, this match could have been very different. 0n the slot made three changes, and it soon paid off, with kostas tsimikas and cody gakpo set up jota. kostas tsimikas and cody gakpo set upjota. it took until the first half for the hosts to serve up any sort of response. their first shot serve up any sort of response. theirfirst shot on serve up any sort of response. their first shot on target was followed by more after the interval. alisson was kept busy and crystal palace felt hard done by not to get a penalty after a challenge from liverpool captain virgil van dijk. alisson then had to be replaced following an injury.
6:34 pm
0ur substitute goalkeeper did very well last season when he was on he wanted to play desperately, we need three good goalkeepers at this club, he was outstanding today when he had to come in for alisson. with a tougher run of fixtures, including a trip to arsenal, following the international break. this might give a clear indication for that they can challenge for the title. —— liverpool have a tougher run of fixtures. —— might give a clearer indication of whether they can challenge. so one of the big talking points from that match was why palace weren't awarded a penalty. not long after the incident, the premier league match centre's x account gave their explanation. this is a new service this season. they said "the referee's call of no penalty for the challenge by van djik on guehi is checked and confirmed by var, deeming that the challenge was not sustained holding and had no impact on the play." that didn't go down well
6:35 pm
with the palace manager. this is for me a clear foul, the — this is for me a clear foul, the var— this is for me a clear foul, the var had to intervene, but he didn't, _ the var had to intervene, but he didn't, and second half we did very— he didn't, and second half we did very well. first off, liverpool should why they are maybe — liverpool should why they are maybe the best team at the moment —— first half. they caused _ moment —— first half. they caused us _ moment —— first half. they caused us big problems. but in the second half, we showed a great — the second half, we showed a great reaction, and i think we were — great reaction, and i think we were competitive in the second half, _ were competitive in the second half. we — were competitive in the second half, we created chances but did not— half, we created chances but did not take them, we did not -et did not take them, we did not get this— did not take them, we did not get this penalty, and in the end — get this penalty, and in the end it — get this penalty, and in the end it is _ get this penalty, and in the end it is a _ get this penalty, and in the end it is a loss, but on the second _ end it is a loss, but on the second performance, we will build — second performance, we will build up. _ second performance, we will build up, and the second half today— build up, and the second half today gives me a lot of confidence for the rest of the season _ manchester city stay just a point behind liverpool after they came from behind to beat fulham to maintain their unbeaten start to the season. mateo kovacic scored both of city's goals. they now haven't lost in 50 consecutive home games in all competitions. jeremy doku added a third, but fulham, who took the lead through andreas pereira, scored a second goal late on. pep guardiola's side held
6:36 pm
on for victory. we played some good moments, in other moments they were better than us, and after the champions league, fulham is an incredible team, they have some very experienced and talented players. we knew it, but, yeah, we won. arsenal are also unbeaten, and like city also came from behind, to get a 3—1win over southampton. kai havertz and gabriel martinelli with the goals at the emirates before bukayo saka added a third late on to seal victory. we concede a goal and then it is going — we concede a goal and then it is going on. everything we did in the — is going on. everything we did in the first half thrown away, and — in the first half thrown away, and it— in the first half thrown away, and it is— in the first half thrown away, and it is a _ in the first half thrown away, and it is a different game. but ithink— and it is a different game. but ithihk the _ and it is a different game. but i think the team reacted with a lot i think the team reacted with a tot of— i think the team reacted with a lot of authority, very reassured, very composed, and

i'm reassured, very composed, and i'm very— reassured, very composed, and i'm very happy that we can reect— i'm very happy that we can react like _ i'm very happy that we can react like this, but not that happy, _ react like this, but not that happy, with the amount of control— happy, with the amount of control we had in the first off, — control we had in the first off, that _ control we had in the first off, that we have to go through that again. —— in the first half _ leicester city have their first premier league win of the season, beating bournemouth 1—0, facundo buonanotte's first—half effort enough to take all three points at the king power. and eight goals at brentford, who took advantage of wolves' defensive problems to get their first premier league win since august, putting five past gary 0'neil�*s side. wolves did respond with three goals of their own, but it wasn't enough — just the one point for them from their first seven games, whilst brentford climb into the top half with the win. and west ham got their first home premier league win of the season as they beat ipswich 4—1. the visitors are still waiting for their first win since their return to the top flight. you can watch all the goals this evening on match of the day at 10.30.
6:38 pm
0ne match still ongoing in the premier league today, that's everton hosting newcastle. the visitors had the chance to be 1—0 up, butjordan pickford saved anthony gordon's penalty just before the half—time whistle. earlier, abdoulaye doucoure had the ball in the net for everton, but it was ruled out for offside following a var review. they are currently 0—0 early in the second half. kilmarnock pulled off the comeback of the day in the scottish premiership — 2—0 down to dundee with 86 minutes played, they ended up winning 3—2. dundee had a player sent off late in the first half, but were already in front and doubled their lead with ten minutes to go. only for kilmarnock to draw level, and matty kennedy's 9ath—minute strike completing victory. motherwell�*s great start to the season continues — andy halliday�*s late winner earning his side a 2—1 win at ten—man hibs. and dundee united extended their unbeaten away run to four matches with a hard—fought victory at st mirren. in the championship, head coach wayne rooney was sent off but his plymouth
6:39 pm
side still beat blackburn rovers 2—1 thanks to a 97th minute winner. earlier, norwich city were 4—0 winners over hull city, marcelino nunez put them ahead with this great strike. burnley had missed the chance to go top with a goalless draw against preston. sheffield united have climbed to second in the table thanks tojesurun rak—sakyi who scored twice on his 22nd birthday as they beat luton 2—0. as well as plymouth, both watford and sheffield wednesday grabbed late winners against middlesbrough and coventry respectively. plenty more reaction to all of those results on the bbc sport website. in the women's super league, nikita parris scored on herfull women's super league debut for brighton as they came from behind to beat aston villa 4—2. brighton's second win in as many home league games puts them second in the wsl, level on points with chelsea and manchester united, who both
6:40 pm
play their matches tomorrow. villa are still without a win. next to a winning start for england at the women's t20 world cup. it was far from a convincing performance with the bat, but they still had enought to beat bangladesh by 21 runs in their opening match in sharjah asjoe lynskey reports. for bangladesh, this world cup could have been so different. two months ago, they were set to host it. amid political unrest, it has been moved to the united arab emirates. for england, location won't change expectation. theirform in t20 should see them charge through the script stage. but bangladesh here were restricted. england lost wickets and found runs hard to come by. while bangladesh let loose. they might have been even further on top, but drops in the field gave england a chance. they scored 118. it
6:41 pm
meant they would need wickets. in the field and in this match, england found ways to hold on. for bangladesh, a big score was just as hard to get to. this was the bowling england needed to defend that small total. their world cup is up and running. this was not quite the perfect start. but for england, all that matters is to be here at the end. meanwhile, australia began the defence of their t20 world cup title with a comfortable six—wicket win in sharjah. sri lanka batted first and set a target of 93, but despite losing three early wickets, opener beth mooney�*s unbeaten 43 led the six—time champions over the line with 3a balls to spare. they will now face new zealand on monday.
6:42 pm

6:43 pm
it is always frustrating to miss out, but the three tests i watched in the summer when i was with the team but not playing, i enjoy watching cricket, but knowing that you can't be a part of a game makes it a little bit easier, but i have some good things to focus on, so although i am not playing, you know, i have got a goal in mind, so i will take the focus away from the disappointment of not playing. i have worked hard with the medical team to get to where i am now. ithink medical team to get to where i am now. i think i am further ahead than we expected, and i will be working just as hard over the next ten days to give myself a chance of being fit. joe root is also in the team, and he has the chance to break another record. he needsjust 71 runs to surpass sir alastair cook and become the man with the most test runs for england. but he says his focus isn't on the history books. yeah, i would like to get more

small pack, the physicality be brought today was unbelievable. but testament to my team as well for stepping in and getting thejob done. well for stepping in and getting the job done. that was scary, if i'm honest with you, but we got the job done, we got the win, and i'm super proud of the win, and i'm super proud of the girls for sticking at it. in the other game in that group, south africa lost to australia. later france face the usa, before ireland take on canada. stay across all those results on the bbc sport website. bristol bears have gone top of the premiership after beating bath by 36 points to 26 in the west country derby at the rec. bath had played two and won two but debutant santiago grondona scored two of bristol's four first half tries as they secured the bonus point to lead 26—7 at the break. bath struck back with two tries in the second half but gabriel's 0grey�*s score for the bears saw bath leave with just a bonus point
