it's difficult to talk because it was so exciting, the game. playing against manchester city, for me, the best team in the world, and then chelsea being brave and tried to go for the goal, tried to win the game, the three points. yes, i think it was an amazing afternoon and evening. well, it was a good advert, entertaining game for the premier league. both teams want to win, sol couldn't expect differently. the game was difficult to control. they were aggressive. but we did have our momentum and moments. we had two or three transitions, one against one, they could not finish because never it was over. but that game was, in moments, it was a tight game, i would say a fair result. liverpool are up to second, after beating brentford 3—nil. it was an easy win for jurgen klopp�*s side, who've won every home game this season. goals from mohamed salah and anotherfrom diogojota. liverpool now move above arsenal and tottenham into second. it was a difficult game against a top organised opponent. and i'm really, really happy with the performance and the result. top goals, top performances. for example, the workrate, my god, second to none. it's so important in these games that they cannot play the balls when they want, they have to play the balls when we want. so, a good day. i think we were brave, i think we were pressing high. i think we were creating the most chances we've done. i think we gave the least away on all kinds of stats. so, actually, a lot of positives from this game. yeah, wejust need to go again. aston villa are closing in on the top four, after a 3—1win over fulham. finishes from john mcginn and ollie watkins, combined with an own goal, leave villa nowjust a point off tottenham, in fourth. it's the first time since the 1930s that villa have opened a season with six consecutive wins at home in the top division. we didn't achieve today but, of course, we are the best scoring team in the league and, therefore, it's important for us as well because we are showing our potential eventually. but we have to try to be stronger defensively and really try to be consistent. sheffield united are off the bottom of the table, after coming back to get a draw at brighton, who led for most the match. but several missed chances, as well as a red card for mahmoud dahoud, allowed sheffield united back in. burnley now drop to the foot of the table. elsewhere, tomas soucek grabbed a late winner, as west ham came from behind to secure a five—goal thriller against nottingham forest. celtic are still way out in front at the top of the scottish

dortmund into fourth place. and eintracht frankfurt came from two goals down to draw at werder bremen. onto cricket, and india's perfect world cup continued with a i60—run thrashing of the netherlands in their final group game. their openers, rohit sharma and shubman gill, set the stage. and captain virat kohli also added 51, but shreyas iyer and kl rahul each smashed centuries to set the netherlands an unlikely 411 runs to win, after india's second—biggest world cup score. and despite a decent start, the netherlands couldn't get near it, bowled out for 250 — captain sharma taking the final wicket. it's nine wins from nine for india, who face new zealand in mumbai in their semifinal on wednesday, but some of the players are worried the pitch could prove quite a challenge. it's kind of difficult to bowl sometimes and you feel the bounce is, too. that's why batsmen are like dominating even in the t20 format. and of course, in 50—overs game, you have plenty of time to come back in your spell. and definitely, if you get a couple of early wickets, you're always on top of the game. tennis now, and canada have won the billiejean king cup for the first time in their history. leylah fernandez sealed the 2—0 win over italy in seville, beating jasmine paolini in straight sets, following on from a shock victory in the first match when teenager marina stakusic — ranked 258th — beat

routine, so i'm glad i pulled it off in the best way in front of a whole crowd. i won world champs in 2021 during covid time, so we couldn't have a crowd, so it's amazing to make it up by having it
