a share of the spoils. mo salah rescues a point for liverpool at arsenal. pressure time for ten haag as manchester united lose at west ham. palmer produces another masterclass to put chelsea into the top 5 with a win over newcastle. also coming up on sportsday: draper does it! the british number one wins his first atp 500 title as his break—out season continues and in rugby league england go head to head with samoa as they look to avenge their world cup semifinal defeat. hello, and thanks for joining us on sportsday. we're going

to start in the premier league where arsenal and liverpool have played out an entertaining 2—2 draw at the emirates, as the visitors twice came from behind to earn a point in london. craig templeton was watching this one for us. it may be early in the season, but the significance of this match is hard to question. can arsenal stay in the race despite injuries and indiscipline? are new look liverpool genuine title contenders? the early exchanges are more about the physical rather than the technical. now it is time to be skilful. arsenal had been worrying on the fitness of mikhail osako, but when he is in this position there is nothing to worry about. his 50th premier league goal. when virgil van bike found himself with space in the

arsenal box, it was more about the simple. 1—1, game on. nicholas yobo won't be happy with the way arsenal conceded. he is a man credited with the regularity they do this. the va are looked at it but the goal stood. liverpool were struggling for a response until trent alexander arnold found nunez, who found no seller, who found the equaliser. tough for him to take. to have inter finished, an entertaining game but one that means we're still waiting for a definitive answers. craig templeton, bbc news. so that result means liverpool stay 2nd 1 point behind leaders manchester city while arsenal are 5 points off the this top. perhaps unsurprisingly it's the liverpool head coach who was the happier of the two bosses as he maintains a 4 point cushion over arsenal. it's pleasing to see we can

come into _ it's pleasing to see we can come into the _ it's pleasing to see we can come into the match. - it's pleasing to see we can come into the match. we l it's pleasing to see we can i come into the match. we can have gaming like they can be stronger in the second half than the first of this is what pleases me. in the end you go here also to win, but may be a draw was for us especially after the first half result we can take with us to next week. the team played so well, we were — the team played so well, we were dominant, we had to attack, _ were dominant, we had to attack, really aggressive after losing — attack, really aggressive after losing the ball, played in the right— losing the ball, played in the right areas, created some really _ right areas, created some really good chances, but yeah, those — really good chances, but yeah, those games you have to be more clinicah _ those games you have to be more clinicah we — those games you have to be more clinical. we were open to transition, in open spaces, you cannot— transition, in open spaces, you cannot do— transition, in open spaces, you cannot do it _ transition, in open spaces, you cannot do it if you want to win the game _ west ham have beaten manchester united at the london stadium to continue to pile the pressure on their manager erik ten haag. that's nowjust the i win in 8 matches in all competitions. but it's a much needed victory for west ham who had to rely

on a controversial injury time penalty converted by jarrod bowen to give the hammers all three points. the hosts had gone ahead through crysencio summervile before casemiro equalised in the 81st minute. before bowen broke united hearts at the death. west ham leapfrog them into 13th raising more questions over ten hag's future. that is the third time in the season, and it has a big impact on our team, and how our team scores, and the way you are in the ranking, so this is not good, i can do nothing with the frustration. we don't collect points, and that is what we have to do, so we have to look in the mirror. we don't score from a really good game from our side, creating lows of chances, can see no chances, but the frustration was when you lose in this way, it is a bad feeling.

the players had this penalty, and the var said it was these penalties and you are sure that they are right, but i don't know, i don't see the penalty action, but i prefer to highlight that after they draw the match we keep this moment, this energy to be positive, to be able to think in between the match, and i have had to keep with this kind of energy. chelsea are up to 5th after proving too good for newcastle. they beat them 2—1 at stamford bridge. cole palmer, yet again the star of the show. jo currie reports. two teams who would have started the season with champions league place aspirations was a little off the pace and looking to make up ground. in the south—west london

sunshine, cole palmer shone. how's that for a pass? pedro neto then doing the hard work... nicolas jackson in the right place to slot home. by half—time, despite dominating, chelsea had been pegged back. newcastle with a string of nice passes to leave alexander isak with a tap in. he wouldn't miss the target from there. the one thing you can't give palmer is space, and here he has oodles of it. no one got close as he charged a goal and picked a spot perfectly. nick pope in goal perhaps should have done more — not the palmer would care. visitors to be seen in the second half, had a chance to nick a draw but didn't make it. the defeat means newcastle haven't won in five premier league games and have dropped down to twelfth in the table. i think it's just that final bit, both ends, both boxes where we didn't defend the two moments well enough, and i thought we had enough chances and enough

positive actions to score more than the one we did, and sometimes you go through those moments were maybe you're not as confident as you normally would be in front of goal, i think we are in that sequence. hopefully the goal today will go a long way to ridding ourselves of that, i no one can change about us and i think that is the attitude we have heard and we have always had, and we just need to attack teams. crystal palace have finally registered their first win of the season as they edged a lacklustre tottenham hotspur 1—0 at selhurst park to lift themselves out of the bottom 3. after being reinstated to the starting line—up, jean phillipe mateta broke the deadlock just after the half hour mark for his 3rd goal of the season. and despite brennanjohnson hitting the post spurs rarely troubled palace keeper dean henderson. a disjointed performance from ange postecoglou's side they stay 8th while palace climb out of the relegation zone. we got the reward,

it was an excellent goal, very high praise, winning the gold in the box, in the end we always try to be active, there were some situations, but it's a great team, but they were creating chances and creating a situation so i am really proud of how the team performed today. a very happy oliver glasner, but in contrast ange postecoglu was not in that place when he spoke to the bbc�*s mark scott. at the end they went over to the away fans, there seemed a bit of disgruntlement from the supporters. can you understand that? i would be very surprised if they were happy, mate, yeah. because you're not happy, obviously. why would i be happy? is there a question? why would i be happy? if the supporters are unhappy then i'm unhappy. you said you didn't necessarily think that was the problem, so... no, but identified problem. i think if you're suggesting if i'm somehow unhappy with today, i think that's a fair assessment. i'm not happy, the

players are not happy. celtic are back on top of the scottish premiership albeit on goal difference after cruising to a 3—0 win at motherwell. former dundee man luke mccowan steered in the opener on 27 minutes to give celtic the lead before stand in skipper, alistairjohnston, rose to the occasion, ghosting in at the back post to guide in celtic�*s second. substitutes nicholas kuhn and adam idah combined as the latter completed the rout. motherwell ending with 10 players following a late liam gordon red card. hearts and hibernian were the bottom two going into the edinburgh derby. and they still are. hibs briefly lifted themselves above their rivals when mykola kuharevich put them ahead. but a late goal from seventeen—year—old james wilson means it finished i—i. hearts remain above hibs on goal difference.

rangers and st mirren were also in action. rangers winning 2—1 to stay six points off the top two. napoli have made the early running in italy's serie a but the two clubs just behind them, inter milan and juventus played out a thrilling 4—1; draw at the san siro. inter probably thought they'd done enough to win when they went 4—2 up early in the second half — dutch defender denzel dumfries with their 4th goal. but 19—year—old kenan yildiz gotjuve back on level terms — after coming on as a sub withjust under half an hour to go, the turkey international scored twice... so the points were shared. jack draper has won the biggest title of his career so far. the british tennis number one, who reached the semi finals at the us open last month, beat karen khachanov in straight sets to win the vienna open — his first atp 500 tournament — at the age of 22. drew savage reports.

this time last yearjack draper was ranked 91st in the world. tomorrow he will be 15, and on the march towards even greater things. an early break of serve settled the nerves. his russian opponent posting to making mistakes. draper delighted his fans with the way he finished off the first set. and carried on into the second. rattling off the first four games without reply from khachanov. when the russian did eventually respond, it was worth waiting for. winning the next five games in a row, it had looked straightforward, but suddenly the result was in doubt. draper might have faltered, but instead he showed the instincts of a champion. he has often been hailed as the future of british tennis. now he is living very much in the present. jack draper is the champion in vienna.

and following his momentous win we caught up with draper who says his success in the last 12 months has helped his confidence enormously. i think after the us open that gave me a lot of belief in myself, and i've just gone strength to strength, and i'm feeling more and more comfortable and more and more confident in myself to play at this level and win matches, so i feel incredibly proud of myself and very, very pumped with the win here. top—seeded qinwen zheng has won the pan pacific open in tokyo and clinched her place at the wta's season ending finals next month. china's olympic gold champion served up 16 aces as she beat american sofia kenin 7—6, 6—3. it is the 22—year—old's third title of the year and first on hard court since winning at guangzhou last year. the wta finals begin in riyadh in saudi arabia next saturday.

let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today. kyren wilson leadsjudd trump by seven frames to two in the northern ireland open final. they're playing to a finish this evening with nine the target for victory in belfast. one match in rugby union's premiership as harlequins condemned the exeter chiefs to a record sixth—successive loss. flanker will evans scoring two tries to help quins pick up a bonus point and a first win at sandy park in over 10 years. in the premiership women's rugby, saracens overcame champions gloucester—hartpury 49-38. five tries in the first half had given gloucester the lead at half time, but they couldn't build on their lead in the second half as saracens ran in 21 unanswered points to secure victory. in rugby league, england held off a physical samoa side to claim a hard—fought victory in the opening match of their two—test series providing some degree of revenge for that famous defeat to the same side

at the world cup semi finals 2 years ago. nick parrot was watching. samoa broke english hearts when they beat them in the world cup semifinal two years ago, and the hosts are still hurting from that defeat on home soil. with a pumped up crowd in wigan, that provided the perfect motivation. it took just seven minutes to make the breakthrough, and herbie farnworth will fondly remember his first international try. it soon became clear this was going to be england's day, as matty ashton claimed his fourth try in four tests. every time some hours seem to make a mistake, they were punished. this time by england captain and player of the match george williams, whose try was eventually given. the tourists seemed completely

out of it until england perhaps got a bit complacent and took their eye off the ball. deine mariner didn't, and there was no stopping him from pulling back a try. england might have assumed their onslaught was back on track after the interval thanks to far north setting up victor radley, but marriner had other ideas. his second try earned through samoa's skill rather than fortune. although that was sublime, they soon reverted to the ridiculous, allowing ashton his second try. super league's man of steel put the result beyond doubt. that is sensational from england. but they couldn't finish on a high, handing gordon chan kum tong a consolation. passions run high at the start, and it was no different in the end. the match descended into chaos, but with no punches thrown are ended with just a telling off. no doubt the tensions

will still be some rain when they line—up for when they line—up for the second test at the second test at headingley on saturday. headingley on saturday. defending motogp champion defending motogp champion francesco bagnaia has won the thailand grand prix to cut francesco bagnaia has won the thailand grand prix to cut jorge martin's championship jorge martin's championship lead to 17 points with two lead to 17 points with two races of the season to go. races of the season to go. bagnaia slipped from pole bagnaia slipped from pole position to third place position to third place at the start, but regained at the start, but regained the lead when he overtook the lead when he overtook martin on lap five. martin on lap five. bagnaia then battled bagnaia then battled for first place for first place with six—time champion marc with six—time champion marc marquez, until the spaniard marquez, until the spaniard slid off in wet conditions. slid off in wet conditions. and from there, bagnaia and from there, bagnaia held off martin to take held off martin to take the chequered flag by the chequered flag by almost three seconds. almost three seconds. to footballing bling just to mention the mexico grand prix gets under way at eight o'clock this evening. now though on bbc news we can look ahead to tomorrow night's balon d'or in the football news show with ben croucher. hello and welcome to episode 300 of the football news show. not sure what precious

metal you get for such a milestone, but when it comes bar benzema and modric it has been the exclusive duopoly of messi and ronaldo over the last decade and a half. sharing the golden ball 13 times between them. amongst the favourites this year you have manchester city and spain's rodri, real madrid and brazil star vinicius

rodrigo of real madrid, he played a massive part in their success. serhou guirassy in the bundesliga. he scored 30 goals last season, he is not there. the biggest favourites, vinicius junior and rodri, jude bellingham also, dani carvajal. one name i would like to pick out, and i'm sure i will mention later as well, and i have backing as well from a big name, lionel messi is backing me, i think lautaro martinez should be talked about more, because he was top scorer in serie a, top scorer in the copa america, which argentina won. yes, he didn't do so well in the champions league, missed a penalty when they were knocked out, but inter�*s lautaro martinez is up there amongst the favourites. we will chuck some stats at you later in the programme, it has been 64 years since a spanish player won the men's award, could this man be about to change all that?

rodri, the fulcrum of man city, player of the tournament in the euros, fifth in the ballon d'or last year, and if you want to measure the impact as well as the numbers, check out city with and without him last season. they lostjust once with him in the side, they concede fewer and win a hell of a lot more — and yes he is that protection in front of defence, but in europe's top five leagues he leads the way for most touches, most successful passes and successful passes ending in the final third. sam, just tell us why rodri should win this award. i think you just have. it is notjust about city, and when you look at these awards, last season, in this voting period, city didn't win the champions league, as well, so, in terms of vinicius, he scored in the champions league final, but you have the league and the champions league, that could just dwarf city's only, in inverted commas,

premier league success, obviously he did it for spain as well, but ijust think rodri is the most influential and important, when we are talking about real madrid, it's difficult, but city are the most versatile in there. they are just not the same without _ they are just not the same without him and he has the same influence — without him and he has the same influence in spain. just the seven players on the shortlist, the favourite is the brazilian, vinicius junior. together they won la liga and early 16th european title, bellingham had the most assists to underline the international importance, brazil were knocked out. viniciusjunior was suspended in the game, and they each have a goal involvement in four of every five games,

they are creative forces for spanish and european champions, not afraid to take on opponents are getting to the opposition penalty area. to start with viniciusjunior, tell us about his influence on that real madrid team. vinicius junior really shone last season and someone i who is a leader now, - who can carry the weight of a massive team like i real madrid, that really was consistently decisive. that was a change, - a positive change for him. he has been breaking records consistently, | he has become a hugelyl important figure in many different ways to real madrid, that was something that was i lacking before, now all- of a sudden you have seen him rise to prominence and do so consistently, which is - most important thing. what about jude bellingham, though? 19 goals in la liga, not one but two winning goals in injury time, he was a dream debut season for him.

is there an argument that jude bellingham was more influential than vinicius junior? i think i personally would say yes. - that would be my choice. i know maybe not a lot - of people are necessarily agree with that, that the reason being is that since - septemberjude is far away the most important player, notjust for madrid - but probably on the planet. he was a leader, - since he stepped on the pitch he completely won everybody over, the elevated - everyone around him. that's something that is very| important to what he brought to real madrid last season. not just the assists, - everything that he was doing, it was a tactical change that they implementedj by making him a number ten, getting him more involved - in playmaking, more involved in getting this runs the box, i and alsojust basically- tracking back the defending and being omnipresent.

it was all over the pitch. unfortunately i think that's what then hit ultimately. picking up injuries, i his form tapering off towards the latter stage i of the season, that's why i think that most people are arguing in favour- of vinicius, the fact - that he was overall a balance able to maintain that high - level of performance for a much longer period of time. let's take a look at the contenders for the ballon d'or feminin. the women's award was introduced and here are the contenders. delighted to have the former england midfielder fara williams here. who gets your vote?

it's a difficult one, there's been some really good standout individual performances that have had huge impact both in their clubs and internationally. but bonmati is a standout for me. the impact she had in barcelona, they want everything. lindsey horan goes under the radar a little bit, lyon obviously got to the final, she was key to success in that, i think she could be a close runner. i know her name hasn't been mentioned that much, but my favourite would be bonmati, but i would like to see lindsey horan in that top five for sure. what is it about bonmati that

separates? i what is it about bonmati that separates?— separates? i think it is her iq. her game understanding is right up there with the best, decision makers and games, having the qualities to be able to do that, i think she has that. i think she controls the midfield for barcelona, she doesn't just control. she adds schools and assist the that's— she adds schools and assist the that's key. that's about all we have time for. my thanks for everyone whojoined me, and thanks for watching. whether this is episode one or used on the full triple century with us, the full triple century with us, much more to catch on to beat back upon on the iplayer. hello, there. for most of us, we have had a fine, dry sunday, but wind and rain has been pushing into scotland and northern ireland. it's a couple of weather fronts which will tend to get squeezed out in the week ahead, certainly on monday, as high

pressure begins to build in, and for much of this upcoming week, it's going to be dry. a lot of cloud around, with limited sunshine. we could see some misty, foggy mornings, as well, from wednesday onwards. so, these weather fronts have brought outbreaks of rain to scotland and northern ireland. they will spread to all areas tonight, tending to become lighter and patchier as it moves northwards and eastwards, and there will be more of a breeze for england and wales, lighter winds across scotland, but we usher in some milder air by the end of the night, so we start monday off with values around 8 to 11 degrees. it does mean monday, though, will be rather cloudy and gloomy with further spots of rain here and there. sunshine will be limited even as we head into the afternoon, and we could see the odd glimmer through some sheltered eastern spots, and that could push temperatures up to 16 or 17 celsius, so, again, pretty mild for the time of year. for most, though, the mid—teens. for monday night we hold on to the cloudy skies, bit of a breeze towards the south. some spots of rain at times, and a little bit of mist and fog here and there, but it does mean it's going to be a fairly

mild start to tuesday, values into double figures to begin the day, but we hold on to cloud because we are underneath this area of high pressure with very little wind, nothing to really mix the air to allow for some sunny spells to break through. so, could start off with a little bit of mist and fog here and there, a lot of cloud, any spots of rain towards central and southern areas will be squeezed out as high pressure builds in. we could see a little bit of sunshine here and there, but it will be limited — but, again, mild, 16 or17 degrees will be the high, for most the mid—teens. into wednesday, this area of high pressure exerts its force across the whole country. you'll notice there are some isobars and some weather fronts across northern areas, so here it will stay quite windy, but for most we are starting wednesday off with light winds, a lot of cloud around, some early mist and fog. some of this fog could linger through the morning and just lift into low cloud, some areas staying grey all day. we could see some holes appearing in the cloud further north and east to allow for a few sunny spells, and temperatures again around the mid—teens for most. similar values for thursday, friday. into the weekend we start

to pick up some colder air from the north, some more sunshine, but also some frosty nights to come. live from london. this is bbc news. the iranian president says tehran is not looking for war — but will give an appropriate response to israel's airstrikes. at least one person has been killed with dozens injured in central israel after a truck rammed into a group waiting at
