liverpool are now eight points clear of manchester city at the top of the premier league after coming from behind to beat southampton 3—2 at st mary's. russell martin's side may be in trouble, with just one league win so far this season — but they didn't make it easy for liverpool, who're riding high, with their manager arne slot only five months into his reign. nick parrot reports. with liverpool having made the best start in their history in southampton, the worse, many might have expected a comfortable afternoon for the league leaders. it looked like that would be the case when this clearance was pounced on by dominik szoboszlai. his first league goal since january wasn't enough to get southampton's ambitions. they cut and immediately —— where they would have got an immediate redemption. liverpool have been tight at the back under the new boss but they had to resort to foul means to halt the surging tyler dibling.

armstrong was perhaps fortunate to get a second chance. there was no luck about the second, as matias fernandez claimed his first league goal since joining southampton. an upset looked on the cards until mo salah came to the rescue with a little help from alex mccarthy. aaron ramsdale perhaps not the only one wishing he was on the pitch. with their tails up, liverpool continued to push up and eventually forced another mistake. once again, the responsibility fell to mo salah on the egyptian delivered liverpool's tenth league win of the season. they might have wobbled a bit on the south coast but for now the remain on course. so arne slot and liverpool's great form continues, but severe problems for russell martin's side, who are struggling to get points. arne slot says, despite the scoreline, southampton played well. it wasn't a surprise for us. we

saw how they his personal and newcastle. it wasn't a surprise be difficult for us. but we dominated the complete game but because of we went down after an hour, it made it really difficult for us.— an hour, it made it really difficult for us. we are really competitive _ difficult for us. we are really competitive as _ difficult for us. we are really competitive as we _ difficult for us. we are really competitive as we have - difficult for us. we are really l competitive as we have been, because — competitive as we have been, because a _ competitive as we have been, because a lot of top quality opposition. but we conceded some — opposition. but we conceded some really bad goals. we had some — some really bad goals. we had some good moments. we played some _ some good moments. we played some really good stuff and we stuck — some really good stuff and we stuck at — some really good stuff and we stuck at it, we tried to be aggressive with the ball, changed shape a little bit but i'm disappointed with the quality— i'm disappointed with the quality of the goals we conceded. it was his first game in charge of manchester united — after a great deal of fanfare — so there was bound to be some expectation of an impact from new head coach ruben amorim. united went ahead early on against ipswich but could only manage a draw at portman road.

new manager, a push of the reset button for manchester united, more than three weeks on from the confirmation of his appointment, ruben amorim saw his team make an electric start at portman road, playing as predicted with wing—backs and three central defenders, one of those wing—backs who provided the spark. marcus rashford starting in a central striking role nudged in afterjust 81 seconds. the early vigour didn't last at ipswich asserted themselves in response. onana superbly denied liam delap but was unable to stop this deflected shot as the home team drew level before half—time. onana kept out delap again in the second half with ruben amorim cup della disappointed. his purse often lacked conviction. fernandez came close with the free kick but united had to settle with a

point. leicester have sacked their manager steve cooper afterjust five months in charge. cooper leaves with immediate effect, following leicester's 2—1 loss to chelsea yesterday. the club are now 16th in the premier league table. in a statement leicester thanked cooper and his backroom staff for their contribution. first team coach ben dawson will take interim charge for their next game against brentford next weekend. leicester say they've already begun the process of appointing a new manager. leeds united have gone top of the championship for the first time this season after a dramatic 11—3 injury—time away win at swansea city. leeds had already come from behind to lead 3—2, when swansea equalised with a minute of normal time to go, through florian bianchini. that would have left leeds third in the table, but there were still six minutes of injury time to be played, and leeds scored the winner in the first of them. wilfried gnonto with a calm finish, which puts his team top of the table, ahead

of sunderland and sheffield united on goal difference. in the women's super league, chelsea beat manchester united in what was the only wsl game this week. they won 1—0 with a penalty from guro reiten in the first half after she was brought down by the united goalkeeper. and she put it safely into the bottom left corner from the spot. with eight wins from eight, chelsea have now moved five points clear of manchester city at the top of the table. for all the results you can go to the bbc sport website. glasgow city are still one point clear of rangers at the top of the scottish women's premier league after thrashing spartans 6—0. celtic have moved up to fourth in the table after coming from a goal down to beat montrose 5—1 at new douglas park. saoirse noonan scored a hat—trick.

they're still five points off the top. hibernian were leapfrogged by celtic in the table because they were held to a one all draw at home to partick thistle. elsewhere there were wins for hearts and motherwell. it had the potential to be a banana skin. england facing japan after losing all of their autumn internationals previously — and with former head coach eddiejones retuning to twickenham with a point to prove. however, it was an easy win for england, hammering japan 59—14. it was a very different scenario at murrayfield as scotland became the only northern hemisphere side to beat australia this series, despite the aussies having some magic in their side. andy swiss was watching. you could hear the expectation. curtice cup and end their year on a high against inform australia? murrayfield hoped australia ? murrayfield hoped and australia? murrayfield hoped and it was certainly rewarded. sione tuipulotu was actually born in australia but has a

scottish grandmother, there she was to celebrate as he bulldozed scotton into a 7—3 lead at the break. after they were soon racing clear thanks to one of rugby's most ruthless finishers. the dazzling duhan van der merwe once again unstoppable, as wasjosh bayliss who had no right to score from there. and yet somehow he did. if that was good, the hosts saved the best till last, as finn russell rounded things off in style. a statement win for scotland and for murrayfield and afternoon to remember. at twickenham, england were looking for their first win of the autumn against the former head coach. eddie jones's japan have largely struggled recently and they were soon struggling again, as ben earl set the hosts on their way. it was the first of five

first—half tries for england, perhaps the pick of them from this one as they led 35—7 at half—time. after it, a moment of magic, just watch this. george furbank with a try, but it was all about that pass. tommy freeman's trickery bringing twickenham to its feet. tom roebuck applied the final gloss on a 59—14 victory, still plenty to work on but england have ended their losing streak in emphatic fashion. let's take a quick look at some of the other sports news stories making the headlines. a fortuitous bounce gave beth wilcock the chance to open the scoring for harlequins women against saracens this afternoon. in a blustery london derby, wilcock powered over for another during the second half, as quins managed to hold off a fightback from the hosts to edge the game 15—111. great britain have come second in the first event of the sail gp season, after being illegally cut off in the final turn

after ten overs, but 59 from the all—rounder and 31 from keeper amyjones helped steer them to victory. it was a slightly bitter end for sciver—brunt however, who — with the scores level — was caught at backward square as she tried to flick the winning run, which came from a leg bye a ball later. elsewhere, virat kohli scored his first test hundred for 16 months as india set australia a huge target to chase in perth. it was the batter�*s 30th century and seventh in australia, with india declaring on a87 for six as soon as he reached the milestone. it means australia need 534 to win the first test of the five match series, though they finished the third day having lost three wickets for only 12 runs. opener yasasvijaiswal earlier hit 161 for india.

they always believe in me that whatever is going to come, i'm going to enjoy and be fearless. i will go and take a brave decision. this is my mindset. i fell in what is required from my team, i will try and do that. india wicketkeeper batter rishabh pant has become the most expensive player in indian premier league history, after being secured by lucknow super giants for 2.54 million pounds. england's white ball captainjos buttler returns for his tenth ipl season after gujarat titans bought him for almost 1.5 million pounds. his former team rajasthan royals have retained jofra archer. elsewhere, liam livingstone, phil salt and harry brook all secured places, whilejonny bairstow, a veteran of five tournaments, went unsold. wicketkeeperjordan cox has been ruled out of england's series in new zealand with a broken thumb, after being called up to replace jamie smith who's on paternity leave.
