Full transcript

Good morning

AI Dave: Good morning! It's Sunday the eighteenth of October, and this is the Dave dot Sport Originals Daily Sports News Bulletin. I'm A.I. Dave.

Jo: And I'm Jo. Dave, you look awake for once.

AI Dave: I'm all in, Jo, always all in! Coming up: Man City keep the perfect start going, and Liverpool beat Brentford who finished with nine men.

Jo: Plus Pedro Neto's double at Everton. And a big Premier League Sunday, with Arsenal at Forest.

The headlines

AI Dave: Let's start with City. Seven wins from seven after a 3-2 win over Ipswich, and Haaland got two.

Jo: Seven from seven under Maresca! He's the first manager to win his opening seven Premier League games at a club. That beats Guardiola, Ancelotti and Solskjær, who all managed six.

AI Dave: Yet it wasn't comfortable. VAR ruled out Haaland's hat-trick for offside, then Flemming scored a ninety-minute penalty and it got nervy.

Jo: Be honest, Dave, did you think they'd throw it away?

AI Dave: For about ninety seconds, yes! But they're six points clear now, and Haaland went down the tunnel limping, though Maresca played down any serious injury.

Jo: Fingers crossed. Now, Brentford against Liverpool was mad. Brentford led through Lewis-Potter on forty-four minutes, after VAR overturned a Liverpool penalty.

AI Dave: Then Yarmolyuk got sent off for a headbutt on Jacquet before half-time. Liverpool came back through Muñoz and Isak, and Janelt saw red late on.

Jo: Nine men! Can't say they didn't have it coming. But Liverpool lost Szoboszlai and Frimpong to injury, so that's a worry.

AI Dave: And Chelsea. Neto scored forty-six minutes in and again in the ninetieth to win 2-0 at Everton. It was Chelsea's first Premier League clean sheet since January.

Jo: Sadly Emiliano Martínez was taken to hospital after a collision. Hope he's okay.

Results round-up

AI Dave: Rest of the Premier League. Fulham one, Hull nil. Iwobi's goal gave them their first win of the season!

Jo: Finally! Even with Sessegnon sent off at the end. And Newcastle nil, Aston Villa one, Manzambi's header.

AI Dave: Emery's hundredth Premier League win. Newcastle had sixteen shots and only one on target.

Jo: Sixteen! Sixteen shots and one was on target. Come on!

AI Dave: Championship now. Swansea nil, West Ham one, Mukasa the scorer, so it's one point between them at the top.

Jo: Wrexham four, Preston one. West Brom three, Blackburn two, after Gudjohnsen got two early for Rovers.

AI Dave: Birmingham three, QPR nil, Liam Millar with two. Watford two, Charlton nil. Middlesbrough two, Cardiff two. Millwall two, Lincoln two.

Jo: League One: Sheffield Wednesday five, AFC Wimbledon nil! Bradford two, Stevenage nil, and Bradford are top.

AI Dave: Leicester two, Doncaster one. Wigan one, Reading nil. Barnsley one, Cambridge two.

Jo: League Two: Salford two, Crawley one, with Langstaff scoring both. Oldham four, Cheltenham one. Crewe three, Rochdale two.

AI Dave: In Scotland, Dundee two, Rangers two, so Rangers missed the chance to go top. Hibs one, Falkirk two, Jacob Murrell's double. Hibs are bottom!

Jo: Kilmarnock three, Motherwell two, Kiltie with two. Aberdeen three, St Mirren one.

AI Dave: And the FA Cup. Fylde five, Atherton Collieries nil, with Cedric Main scoring a hat-trick.

Jo: Leatherhead three, Yeovil three! Mark Waters got two late ones. And Southend lost to Berkhamsted, one-two.

The big talking point

AI Dave: Right, talking point. Is the title race already over? City are six points clear.

Jo: Oh here we go. Seven games, Dave. Seven!

AI Dave: Seven wins from seven, and Haaland scores for fun. Jo, who's stopping them?

Jo: Arsenal, for a start. They can cut it to three at Forest this afternoon.

AI Dave: Okay, but City conceded twice against Ipswich and Marc Guéhi had a rough one. That's not a team running away.

Jo: Which makes my point! They still won. That's what champions do, so I think you've got a point.

AI Dave: Ha! I win! I'm all in on City.

Jo: You're all in on everything! Listeners, let us know who's right.

Around the sports

AI Dave: Darts now, and Maastricht was brutal. Michael van Gerwen lost six-five to William O'Connor on home soil.

Jo: And defending champion Jonny Clayton lost six-one to Damon Heta! Though Gian van Veen averaged one hundred and twenty point two four, the highest ever in a European Tour match.

AI Dave: Mad. Nathan Aspinall beat Michael Smith six-one, and now plays Stephen Bunting in the last sixteen.

Jo: Rugby league, and England lost their World Cup opener to Tonga, thirty to twelve. The England women beat Wales seventy-six. Sorry, seventy to six!

AI Dave: In rugby union, Leinster beat Clermont forty-eight twenty-three and Glasgow beat Sale forty-seven twenty-seven, both in the Champions Cup. The Red Roses lost to Canada, twenty-four twenty-one, ending a forty-one-match unbeaten run.

Jo: Sad news too. Former Sale lock Hyron Andrews, who played for the Lions, has died at thirty-one. Our thoughts are with his family.

AI Dave: And boxing: the Ring reports Usyk is targeting a Fury trilogy in 2027, if Fury beats Anthony Joshua on December eleventh in Cardiff.

Jo: Now that's a fight worth waiting for.

On the box today

AI Dave: Today's games! Leeds against Man United at two on Sky Sports Main Event. Jo, who've you got?

Jo: Honestly, one-one. I don't trust either of them.

AI Dave: Boring! Also at two, Brighton against Crystal Palace on Sky Sports Premier League, and Bournemouth against Sunderland on NOW.

Jo: At three, Celtic against Hearts on Sky Sports Football. Win and Celtic go four clear of Rangers.

AI Dave: Then the big one: Forest against Arsenal at four-thirty on Sky Sports Premier League, Main Event and Football. Jo, who've you got?

Jo: Arsenal, two-one. They'll make City sweat.

AI Dave: I'm going Arsenal too. And the Women's Super League has Man City against Brighton on BBC Two at two-thirty.

Sign-off

AI Dave: That's the show! Everything we've talked about is on dave dot sport, and use the A.I. Live Football Studio for live scores this afternoon.

Jo: Thanks for listening, and enjoy the football. Bye!

AI Dave: Bye, everyone!
