We start at Old Trafford, where before the Game Manchester united manager erik ten hag had asked his team to bring the fire, but it was liverpool who burnt far brighter today. Luis diaz and Mohammed Salah Lighting their path to a 3 0 win at the home of their fierecest rivals. It means they keep pace with Manchester City at the top of the early Premier League table, with three wins from three, as Ben Croucher reports.

To establish a lead for liverpool ten minutes out from Half Time. Casemiro was culpable for the first, and when he was caught on the ball seven minutes later, united had seen this one before.

You will love the next bit, as slot� s side swept forward again, and salah scored for the seventh game in a row at Old Trafford. Sharpshooter. Not every dutch manager was thrilled. The majority of fans had suffered enough, seeing their side suffer back to back defeats. As for liverpool, games, goals, wins, keeping count. Ben croucher, Bbc News. So life afterjurgen Klopp Couldnt have started much better for new Liverpool Boss Arne slot, who becomes the first manager to win his first three Premier League games without conceding a single goal since the late Sven Goran Eriksson at Manchester City in 2007. Hes also the first Liverpool Boss to win his first enounter against Manchester United since Bob Paisley in 1975. A contrasting day for the dutch men in charge of both sides. Impressed, although they showed me in the last weeks That they can work so so hard, and i think That is what the shorter going today. But the main thing i was impressed about is That we were so dominant with the ball, and every time we had a midfielderfree, and ball, and every time we had a midfielder free, and That led to a fantastic i o. Unfortunately, That one was disallowed, but we scored three afterwards, so we were still 0k. Liverpool have some great Players Liverpool have some great players but i think we have such players but i think we have such players were, and we came three such players were, and we came three times in very good positions, good finishes. It was positions, good finishes. It was nearly there. So, we have even was nearly there. So, we have even more was nearly there. So, we have even more scoring abilities, so we will even more scoring abilities, so we will be even more scoring abilities, so we will be fine. We have to improve, we will be fine. We have to improve, we know That. Today, we have improve, we know That. Today, we have to improve, we know That. Today, we have to be humble, we have to lake we have to be humble, we have to take this but we will bounce back newcastles unbeaten start to the season continues its two wins from three for them now as they beat tottenham 2 1 at st james park. A frustrating day for spurs, who had more of the ball and the chances, but couldnt make the most of it, as Adam Cottier now reports. Recent trips to St Jamess Park of being rather chastening for spurs, and they fell behind on the latest visitors newcastles harvey barnes, who had been restored to the starting 11, expertly guided in the cross. Spurss pursuit of response intensified after Half Time. Chances were spurned, and pedro porters deflected cross came back off the crossbar. But ange postecoglous anguish on the touch and quickly turned to elation. The equaliser handed to them about newcastles dan burn, an equaliser, an own goal. Newcastle welcome Sandro Tonali back. Off the bench for his first Premier League appearance since last october, and spurs were to be left Squirming On Tyneside again. Joelintons pass was inch perfect and another substitute, jacob murphy, had the presence of mind to give Alexander Isak the chance to score his first goal of the season. Its a one win for newcastle and maintained their unbeaten start. Next up for tottenham after the international break as a London Derby at home to arsenal. A bit of good fortune for newcastle, not That Eddie Howe minded That too much. The result always matters and it is always the most important thing but how you get the results indicate how successful youre going to be long term, so we know That we have got a lot of work to do, a lot of things to improve, but running through the squad, i think we have characters and leaders and players with extreme ambition to do welcome and i think you can see the collective spirit in the performance as well. The tale of a season, so far. In both the tale of a season, so far. In both are the tale of a season, so far. In both are big games, we should in both are big games, we should have come away with more than we should have come away with more than we have. Read more, controlled the game for the most controlled the game for the most part. I felt we had enough chances most part. I felt we had enough chances to most part. I felt we had enough chances to win the game come to be. Chances to win the game come to he i chances to win the game come to be. I thought the goal we conceded, the second one, was sl0ppy~ conceded, the second one, was sloppy. We lost focus, which was sloppy. We lost focus, which was disappointing, but the game should was disappointing, but the game should have been put to bed a lot earlier should have been put to bed a lot earlier than That. Crystal palace have their first point of the season earlier as they drew i i away at stamford bridge. Chelsea were much the better side in the first half and squandarerd a number of chances before taking the lead when Nicolas Jackson slotted home past dean henderson. Palace came back into it, though, after the halftime break, and drew level in the 53rd minute thanks to a superb individual effort from eberechi eze. We completely deserved to win the game with the amount of chances we had, and we didnt concede many chances, probably the only chance was the goal. A fantastic goal. Ifeel the only chance was the goal. A fantastic goal. I feeljust a shame for the per� s because it deserved to win the game, but the direction is clear. Chelsea three years ago won the championship, but now it is not That kind of chelsea, so sometimes you dont win, its normal. A very tough game and we could see the a very tough game and we could see the quality of chelsea, especially in the first half. We had especially in the first half. We had a great goalkeeper, and they were a bit lucky, but we adapted they were a bit lucky, but we adapted one or two things at Half Time and i think in the second Half Time and i think in the second half there was not really. Second half there was not really, just at The End, there were really, just at The End, there were two really, just at The End, there were two transitions when you could were two transitions when you could see were two transitions when you could see their peers, but they controlled the game. So, we were controlled the game. So, we were very controlled the game. So, we were very compact and we always had situations, and we scored a fantastic had situations, and we scored a fantastic goal from eze. We had a great fantastic goal from eze. We had a great chance, some really pleased a great chance, some really pleased with the performers to do more.

A win for celtic would take them top and open up a big lead over rangers. And despite a lively start from their rivals. Celtic looked ready to party. Var was not in the mood. Not to worry, minutes later it was maeda, and this one word count. Without the encouragement of away fans, still barred from old firm games, rangers were wilting. Kyogo was determined to turn up the heat. He has taken this on rangers simply had to be better. Initial signs in the second half were encouraging.

Lando norris started on pole but his Mclaren Team Mate Oscar Piastri got the better start and overtook him on the opening lap. Championship Leader Max Vertappen struggled this weekend starting from seventh and was passed by his closest rival, norris. It was looking like a mclaren one two for a large part of the race but they had to pit twice due to tyre wear, whereas ferrari played a tactical masterstroke. They risked just pitting once hoping That leclerc� s tyres would hold on and it paid off with the frenchman winning by 2. 6 seconds with piastri in second and norris in third. Verstappen could finish only sixth so norris cuts his lead by eight points to 62 with eight races to go. My my god, the emotions in the last few laps, exactly like 2019.

I wanted to tell you That the mountain bike World Championships in andorra, Tom Pidcock securing bronze in the mens cross country race. Englands victory over Sri Lanka too. Head over to the website for much more reaction, but from me and the team, That is all for now. Good night. Hello there the Weekend Weather has been pretty decent for most of us. It has been dry, we saw more sunshine on saturday. Lots of cloud around today, apart from the South East which was very warm, humid and sunny. As we head into monday, though, low pressure across the country will spark off more showers and thunderstorms, and with a humid Air Mass still in place, some of these downpours could be quite intense. You can see That humid Air Mass pretty much across the whole of the uk, and it will continue to be quite warm, so a Muggy Night to come again tonight. Well see showers and thunderstorms through central, northern and eastern areas push their way northwards. There will be some drier weather around, particularly towards the southeast. And again its going to be Warm And Muggy across the board Mid Teens for many, the high teens across the southeast. So into monday then, weve got low pressure across the uk and its Weather Fronts. We could see showers, thunderstorms through central, northern and eastern parts of england pushing up in towards scotland. As we move into the latter part of the Day And Sunshine will be limited, so not as warm in the southeast. What weve had Today 2a 25 degrees, high teens, low 20s further north where we have more cloud and the showers. Those showers and thunderstorms rattle their way northwards and eastwards during monday night, but we could see further showers, maybe some thunderstorms as parts of the midlands, wales and Southern England as well, but some clearer skies developing for scotland and Northern Ireland by The End of monday night. So here, turning a bit cooler, temperatures back into single digits, but another Warm And Muggy one i think, for large parts of england and wales. Now some changes as we head into tuesday. This area of High Pressure begins to exert its force from the atlantic. That will try and push these Weather Fronts out of the way, but well have a couple of Weather Fronts around this one, draped across scotland and Northern Ireland could bring some showers and another one in towards the East And South east of england. That could also spark off some showers, maybe some heavy thundery ones. In between, maybe some good spells of sunshine around. So quite a mixed day on tuesday and cooler and fresher across the board. Were losing the humidity now with the westerly breeze, 17 to 22 degrees. It does look like That area of High Pressure exerts its force across the uk as we move deeper into the new week, but therell be Weather Fronts close by to the north and also across the south. This area of low pressure over the near continent could contain further thundery downpours, so generally it will settle down as we move through the week. Best of any drier and brighter weather in the north and west. Theres still the chance of some heavy showers across southern areas. Take care. Live from london. This is Bbc News thousands of protesters in Jerusalem And Tel aviv urge the israeli government to reach a deal with hamas. Unions call a general strike to force the issue.
