They won the first two matches, home or grabbing another point that apparently proving one.

Yes, this is an interesting subplot to the why. Yes, this is an interesting subplot to the american why. Yes, this is an interesting subplot to the american team, | subplot to the american team, reports of unrest in their camp with patrick cant lay very much at the centre of it. And this is because players are not paid to appear in the ryder cup, and patrick apparently is not particularly heavy about this. It was interesting that he was not wearing a team usa cap, unlike the rest of his team mates. It was a hot day here as welcome as you can understand why players normally would want to wear a cap, but he wasnt. Also he did not attend the gala dinner before or at the ryder cup. Some suggestions that he is less than heavy with aspects of the ryder cup, but certainly you couldnt fault his commitment to the cause out there this afternoon or indeed that fantastic pot on the 18th hole. So, yes, we saw some fight from the us this afternoon, but you have to put it into a little bit of context. They are still five points behind europe. No team has ever come back from five points down going into the last day to win the ryder cup. We think back to the miracle of medina in 2012. Airport 106 miracle of medina in 2012. Airport 10 6 down. So they were four points down and came back to win. Five planes has never been done. So the usa will frankly need a sporting miracle, but at last, that little bit of fight that they have shown this afternoon perhaps has given them a glimmer of hope. This afternoon perhaps has given them a glimmer of hope. Thank you ve much them a glimmer of hope. Thank you very much indeed. Manchester city have lost for the first time this Premier League season. Hwang hee chans goal gave wolves a 2 1win at molineux ending the defending champions perfect star and giving city a second defeat in four days after they went out of the efl cup. We struggle to make our build up, our movements and, yeah, we had our chances, we struggle to control the transitions because they are really good, we defend really well in the top. Manchester uniteds poor start to the season continues as they suffered a second Successive League defeat at home. Roy hodgsons Crystal Palace claimed a 1 0 win at old trafford a goal from joachim andersen. Palace move ninth in the table above united, who have now lost four of their first seven games.

The last time luton tasted victory in the top flight was april 1992, but a 2 1win at everton has handed them their first since being promoted and first ever in the Premier League. Representatives from evertons new owners were in the Goodison Park crowd to see their team beaten by two set piece goals as luton climb out of the bottom three. They witnessed yet more boos at the final whistle. Heres what luton boss rob edwards said after the game. Delighted for the Football Club. Its off our backs now. A little while coming, but we believe it, you know, we have been improving in every single game, and if people cared to look at us in the first game and follow us over the next few, they will see improvement in everyone. Today we get our first when away from home. A difficult day for us. But lets not get carried away. In the end, it is one win, three points, we got a very big game on tuesday. In the days early game brighton lost for only the second time in the league season, and it was a heavy one, beaten 6 1 at aston villa, who go above them and had a hattrick hero among their ranks. Patrick gearey has more. The new shirt off the shelf, reporters complained that its heavy when sweaty, makers say they are dealing with that. Perspiration is unavoidable when you work like that a lot, running that makes angles to score goals like this. In form in third, brighton where backpedaling, never a good idea with watkins around. Aston villa are a team transformed, fuelled by the night and reads energy, cleverley and his 11 months in charge, he has given aston villa purpose. In the first half, they so dominated brighton that they cut them into coax them into scoring for them. Step in accidentally needed three. Brighton briefly gathered themselves after the break, creating enough gas for the break, creating enough gas for the On Loan Player to score, but still they hadnt worked out watkins. A little time, little deflection, hat trick and came over. Evenif deflection, hat trick and came over. Even if the scoring wasnt finished, jacob ramsey off the bench to add a fifth. Douglas louisa sixth. A huge win achieved in comfort. No sweat. Patric gary, bbc news. Manchester citys defeat means we could have new leaders of the Premier League tonight, a win for liverpool would do that. Theyre playing at spurs in the late game, but its not going well. Game, but are currently down to ten men following a curtisjones red card. Not long after that, Heung Min Son scored for spurs, but in the dying embers of the half, cody gakpo equalised for the visitors, Cleverly Twisting in the box to score. However he may have hurt himself in the process, substitued at half time. The second half has just kicked off. Elsewhere Sheffield United and burnley are still waiting for their first wins of the league season, losing to west ham and newcastle respectively. And arsenals 4 0 win at bournemouth takes them second for the time being, a point behind manchester city. Rangers have lost for a third time in the scottish premiership, beaten 3 1 at aberdeen while celtic� s 2 1 win at motherwell came in dramatic circumstances. The home side equalised in the 95th minute only for celtic to get the winner in the 97th. Second placed St Mirren Drew while hearts win at ross county takes them fourth. Theres just one Premier League game tomorrow clearing the way for the wsl to take centre stage. The new season brings with it big stars and high expectations. Jo currie looks ahead.

We have had a very concerted and structured strategy for the winning super league since 2018 when it became professional and everything is coming dead, so i think we are going to see every season from now on hitting and exceeding the previous records, at least that is the hope. Manchester city and arsenal are expected to be amongst those teams that challenged this season but, once again, it will be chelsea who start the season as favourites.
