I will be back with you at 8pm. Now on bbc news, its time for sportsday. Hello and welcome to sportsday, with me holly hamilton and jane dougall. The headlines this evening. The champions Manchester City make a great start to the defence of their title but var is the talking point as two major decisions hinge on the new technology. Aston villa give tottenham a scare but a harry kane double sees spurs take the three points. In the scottish premiership, a ruthless celtic are victorious in a seven goal thriller against motherwell. Also coming up on the programme, ireland comfortably beat italy in their warm up match, but concerns forjoey carbery ahead of the world cup who went off injured. And we meets Nabila Tejpar the british rally champion driving to be the best in the world. Hello and welcome to the programme. Manchester city have certainly laid down a marker in their opening game of the season. The champions thrashed west ham 5 0 at the london stadium. Raheem sterling took centre stage with a hat trick, but he shared the spotlight with var as the video assistant referee made its debut in the top flight. Patrick gearey reports. Pep guardiola rarely sits still. In him sits an energy that will not allow him to rest on last year, making Manchester Citys bubble burst. Kyle walker was rearing to start. Mark, set, go, goal. Gabrieljesus the scorer, west ham blown away in seconds. City had been subdued but eventually old patterns and rhythms re emerged. Raheem sterling, 2 0. It looks simple. It isnt. It takes long hours to produce football so seamless as gabrieljesus scores, most were admiring it. But this year we have video assisted referees to study things closer, much closer. Sterling offside by a sliver of his shoulder, no goal. It was a temporary reprieve. Sterling added a second and wanted to take this penalty. Sergio aguero did. Fortunately for him, var spotted west ham players where they shouldnt be. Take two, take that. 40. Still time and space for a starling had tracked. Hat trick. Yesterday, liverpool scored four. Today, city scored five. Catch them if you can. Patrick gearey, bbc news. In terms of five goals a perfect start for us. Not all where we want to be but it is normal. We knew this first game, 12. 30, hot, i knew that we were. We lost a lot of simple balls and that is so difficult to have a good tempo of our game. Tottenham came from behind to beat newly promoted aston villa 3 1 in their first match at the clubs new stadium. Harry kane scored twice to help save spurs blushes after they spent 70 minutes 1 0 down to villa. Adam wild reports. After the Building Work at tottenham now comes the rebuilding. The villa back among the at least a beat at last. Both these clubs have about them a new up. Time than to sit down and takea them a new up. Time than to sit down and take a look. Spurs fans will wa nt and take a look. Spurs fans will want more this season. He provided it. So close to being much better, not everything changes. Indeed having been winked with a move away from aston villa in the summer, john nick again the state, his goal put them to where they are today. On first glance he may yet take them further. Tottenham left to rely on a figure with harry kane, a familiar outcome. The first have frustrating. But finding that point between old and new is what this time of year is all about. Having been brilliantly denied an equaliser, the Perfect Moment for him to make his presence felt, this a debut go the inspired spurs finally found their speech feet. Kane again, more like what the spurs expect. Adding a third in the dying moments, no more than they deserve. Spurs and kane is starting as they hoped to. Adam wilde, bbc news. Its the first saturday of the new season, so its been a busy afternoon forjoe lynskey whos here to round up all the action. Four games starting in the traditional 3pm slot on a saturday today. If you are waiting for match of the day and dont want to know todays scores its time to look away, because we had plenty of action. One of those new faces in the dugout where Brighton And Hove albion started life under Graham Potter with this 3 0 win over watford. They needed some good fortune to take the lead in the first half when watfords Abdoulaye Doucoure diverted the ball into his own net, but from then on the away side were superb. Florin andone turned in another cross at the near post to make it 2 0 in the second, and this perfect afternoon for brighton was sealed with a goal for neal maupay a player theyve gambled £20 million on. They got him from brentford where he scored 25 goals in the championship last season and hes off the mark straightaway in the top division. Important for brighton who struggled for goals last season. So for Graham Potter this is the man who led the swedish side ostersunds from the fourth tier in sweden to a win against arsenal in the Europa League some question marks over his appointment because of swansea record last season, improved style of play but didnt threaten promotion. He has very much answred those questions today though. For the time being. We did not want to throw away everything that was here because there was a lot of good stuff here, a fantastic foundation has been laid. A lot of good work. Any coach you come in from the start of the season you want to improve from last and so we respectfully went around asking what we could improve, and yeah we will keep going. We have not found the answers today of course but we need to carry on with that. It is a nice start for us. Great start for Graham Potter and his first game as a premier league manager. So a poor start for watford in front of their home fans there was disappointment too for southampton on the road, but what a brilliant start for burnley a 3 0 win at turf moor on the opening day. Certainly wasnt the august t shirt and shorts feel to this match and those atrocious weather conditions in lancashire had a say in the opening goal too. A long ball forward got caught in the wind and swirled over the southampton defence where Ashley Barnes was on hand to fire it in. He was soon celebrating a second goal too, southapmton really falling apart in the conditions by this point, southampton were falling apart in the conditions. Not a good afternoon for them. And Joey Gudmundsson made it 3 0 to sean dyches side with this curling shot late on. Much better start this season then for burnley who struggled last term trying to balance the Europa League with their premier league efforts. They have a manager in sean dyche who knows in every top flight season, every result counts. We know what the premier league is. We have seen it time and time, is my fifth season. You expect results. By by no means do you think it guarantees you the next one. You know you have to start with top performances but on the other hand i must say the lads are coming in bright this preseason. And as a collective notjust individuals. There is a nice desire about them at the minute. A biggerfight a bigger fight for the shirt. We managed to bring players into affect the situation and be very competitive. And we want that as well. Overall today, very, very pleased. We didnt have so much problems in the first topic as we played with the first topic as we played with the wind. But we played against the wind in the second half. I have to adapt this and i have to know the timings isa adapt this and i have to know the timings is a little bit different than the pressure after 15 minutes in the second half. With the first score was high then and the next 12 minutes was absolutely losing the way we want to play and then the game is gone in 12 minutes. Sheffield united were playing their First Premier League game for 12 years and it ended with a well deserved 1 1 draw against bournemouth at the vitality stadium. Chris wilder leading the blades into this campaign also has a man who was with the club in their last top flight season philjagielka the experienced former england dfeneder on the bench today. He was there back in 2007. And though Sheffield United held out, bournemouth did take the lead in the second half in this game. Chris mepham, the Welsh International defender firing in eventually after a goalmouth scramble. But then what a moment for Sheffield United late on and the man whos been so crucial to their rise back from the third their talisman of late. Billy sharp scored 2a goals to fire them to promotion last season, and hes got them off the mark for the season with this equaliser late on. That was scrappy too, but the manager chris wilder, he has earned his side a point this afternoon. The manager whos had a remarkable story hes managed from down in non league right through the division to the riches of the top flight now with his boyhood club. Such a proud day for him. It has been a great experience for today. One we have really enjoyed. But i kept saying proud and billy is proud to captain the side and all the connections we have got. But we had to commit to get a result, that was the biggest thing we had to do today. A very good bournemouth side who have done outstandingly well over the past three or four seasons in the division so we knew this was a tough game. We needed to get a result, and we did, so we are off and running. Plenty of drama and stories on this Opening Weekend of the premier league season. Poor game to start the season at Crystal Palace where it finished 0 0 between the eagles and everton. But an interesting sub plot to this game, where Wilfried Zaha who has been a lot of speculation the subject of a lot of transfer window speculation. Ironically during the transfer window he came very close to a move to everton todays opponents. A 50 Million Pound move though never got over the line, but look at that expression when he was brought on by palace manager roy hodgson. Not much eye contact going on there. He was brought on at 0 0 in the second half. His introduction could not break everything down. Morgan schneiderlin was sent off for everton but the home side couldnt capitalise. And it was goal less on the opening day for two sides looking to push on this season. Confirmation of the weekends matches so far then and a latest score there at white hart lane, including liverpools 4 1 win last night. Those two results we heard about as well with Manchester City winning at totte n ha m well with Manchester City winning at tottenham coming from behind to beat aston villa. Thanks very much, joe. A busy day in the championship too where Nottingham Forest snatched a late equaliser to deny leeds and claim a 1 1 draw at elland road. Pablo hernandez had put leeds in front after 59 minutes, cooly slotting the ball past aro muric. But forest equalised through Lewis Grabban after leeds failed to clear their lines from a corner. And the equaliser. Elsewhere, fulham got theirfirst win since relgation. Charlton got their second win of the season beating stoke 3 1. Cardiff left it late, but a dramatic 96th minute goal saw them beat luton 2 1. Hull city survived a fightback to beat reading 2 1, and there were wins for brentford, preston and sheffield wednesday. In the scottish premiership, champions celtic were rampant in front of goal for the second week running winning 5 2 at motherwell. Neil lennons side did have to come from behind though as nick parrott reports. Fir park has not been a happy Hunting Ground for celtic of late. Their last three visits ended in draws and Liam Donnelly gave motherwell early hope of at least maintaining that run. But less than two minutes later, defender Kristoffer Ajer silenced the home fans with his First League Goal for celtic. Despite that, the champions looked vulnerable at the back end. And on another day, motherwell might have had a penalty. If manager neil lennon was feeling troubled, it didnt last. After Leigh Griffiths marked his First League Start since december, there was only going to be one winner. Every celtic shot on target ended up in the back of the net and every goal came from a different player from James Forrest to substitutes Odsonne Edouard and ryan christie. Showing strength and depth after making four changes from the last match. When you are this good, complacency can creep in and donnelly grabbed motherwell a late consolation. But it was still a forceful message from celtic who look as strong as ever. Nick parrott, bbc news. Elsewhere in the scottish premiership, 10 man hamilton beat kilmarnock 2 0. Kilmarnock sit bottom of the league. Bryan graham missed a penalty for ross county, but the newly promoted side maintained an unbeaten start to their premiership return with a goalless draw away at hearts. And it finished 2 2 at mcdiarmid park after stjohnstone came back from 2 0 down against livingston.

And mike bushell meets and navigates to a fashion for the british womens rally driving champion. 50 left into over 30 short white, watts of trees. Hay bale i am really looking forward how he is going to cope in that car. Australia have recorded their highest ever score against new zealand as they beat the World Champions 47 26 in the Rugby Championship in perth. The all blacks where reduced to 1a men on the stroke of half time, as Scott Barrett received is marching orders for a dangerous tackle. The wallablies were then rampant in the second half running in five more tries. Its australias first win over their neighbours since 2017. Ireland began their world cup warm up matches with a 29 10 victory over italy in dublin. Ireland conceded first but this from fly half Joey Carberry was just one of their five tries this afternoon. They added another couple before half time, one from winger dave kearney and then from man of the match andrew conway, squeezing in at the corner. There was one worrying note though, as carberry was carried off early in the second half with an ankle injury. Ahead of the world cup ireland will be hoping that isnt as serious as it looked. Three england players have today been ruled out of eddiejoness side that will meet wales at twickenham on sunday. Henry slade, Sam Underhill that will meet wales at twickenham on sunday.
