absolutely breathless stuff we have had with that manchester city finish. ch city this year — because liverpool were playing in the super cup in midweek — one of their rewards for winning the champions league. not quite so welcome though was that match went on for 120 minutes, plus penalties, and it was played in istanbul, an 8 hour round trip away. they had just two days off to get ready for this match at st mary's where they were playing against southampton. but they got an important result. 2—1 it finished, liverpool's11th straight premier league. and this was thanks to the front players who are so often so important for them — sadio mane brought a slow and frustrating first half to life with a brilliant curling strike into the top corner to make it 1—0, before roberto firmino fired in low from inside the box to make it 2—0. now all the talk before this match was on liverpool's goalkeeping crisis — they thought they may have to give their emergency third choice keeper a game today, but adrian, their second choice was passed fit to play. he made an absolut

onto football now — and manchester city have won the community shield, the traditional curtain—raisere winners beat liverpool, the champions league holders, to claim the early bragging rights before the big kick off. but the match went all the way to a penalty shootout as katie shanahan reports. under the wembley arch a sign said "football is back." and so was the rivalry between manchester city and liverpool, adding extra spice to the to the occasion. the premier league champions started slicker as raheem sterling gave them the lead, scoring against his former club for the first time. after the break, liverpool hit the bar and the post but finally got what they deserve. as joel matip headed home the equaliser. mohamed salah nearly won it for liverpool in the last minute but a remarkable clearance off the line sent the game to penalties. a miss from liverpool gave gabrieljesus the chance to win it for city, adding another trophy to their cabinet. katie shanahan, bbc news. we won the community shield, so another trophy. we have to win but the quality of the opponent which we knew from

some real crackers as manchester city has the pleasure of inviting brighton.oon, and some real crackers as well. manchester city, who had the pleasure of welcoming graham potter's brighton to the etihad this afternoon. before today, city hadn't been beaten in 17 league games, a tremendous run that, of course, took them to the premier league title last season. brighton, for their part, had lost all four previous premier league games to city. it ended 4—0 to city, a very comfortable afternoon for them. any hopes brighton might have had of keeping it tight for the opening stages were gone within 71 seconds. just over a minute is all it took for this man, kevin de bruyne, to opening the scoring for pep guardiola's side. it all looked far too easy for the champions. they doubled their lead before half—time, who else but sergio aguero. the kind of goal we've seen from him so many times before. really, from that point, it was all over. aguero, though, hadn't finished. a quite brilliant strike once again, into the top corner from the edge of the box. a fantastic goal.

outliers in the group draw, shakhtar donetsk, but the times they played the site last season at manchester cityof 3—0 and 6-0. a city resulted in wins of 3—0 and 6—0. a couple of interesting ties, with dinamo zagreb back in the competition after a couple of years away, and atalanta, aside from northern italy who were playing in the champions league for the first time, so another eligible group for city. what about chelsea, in the champions league? it will be interesting for chelsea and frank lampard this interesting for chelsea and frank lampa rd this season, interesting for chelsea and frank lampard this season, because they came forth with the europa league trophy win last season, which made them a top seed in this draw, giving them a top seed in this draw, giving them a top seed in this draw, giving them a potentially easier route, because they were one of the only sides, england was one of the only sides, england was one of the only sides to have more than one team from their domestic league in that top pot of the draw. it will be an interesting season. can this young group of players, with

ruling out a winning goalfor manchester city against tottenham. key is with us tonight. and joe we'll come onto the technology. manchester united came unstuck several times against manchester united but ole gunnar solskjar saying they will face a different manchester united side this time? yes, perhaps we'll see how much of a transition manchester united are in, some of the players they have brought in over the summer have settled in. and also the video assistant referee technology. but a look ahead to this last remaining fixture of the second weekend of fixtures in the premier league. molineux is a ground where manchester united have found the going difficult lately. they have played twice in 2019 with wolverhampton wondrous winning both of them and by the same scoreline. first of all in this cup match in march and then later on in april, wolves are one in the league as well, by the same scoreline 2—1 and the back of last season united didn't win any of their last four away games in the premier league. but there is optimism at old trafford that th
