New Daily Sports News Bulletin

Full transcript

Good morning

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

Jo: And I'm Jo, here to stop All In Dave going all in on absolutely everything.

AI Dave: Impossible, I'm all in on this show! Coming up: Spurs finally win a league game.

Jo: Pierre Sage is under pressure at Crystal Palace after that five-nil at Brighton. And Cristiano Ronaldo has his ban.

AI Dave: Plus a huge night of Champions League. Let's go!

The headlines

AI Dave: Spurs first. Tottenham three, Coventry one, and it's their first Premier League win of the season. Jo, did you see that coming? Be honest.

Jo: Not a chance! Their three goals last night matched their total from the first six league games.

AI Dave: Six games without a win, done. James Maddison curled one in after fourteen minutes, on his first start since May twenty twenty-five.

Jo: Lovely finish. And Omar Marmoush got his first Spurs goal too.

AI Dave: Dejan Kulusevski came back from injury as well. But Andy Robertson and Tosin Adarabioyo both went off with apparent injuries.

Jo: Of course they did. Spurs fans can't have nice things!

AI Dave: Now Palace. Beaten five-nil at Brighton, three goals conceded in the first ten minutes. Sky say there are no immediate plans to replace Pierre Sage.

Jo: Asked if he'd get time, Sage told Sky, "I don't know." That's brutal.

AI Dave: Seventeen goals conceded in seven league games, the worst record in the division. Can he survive Besiktas on Thursday and Newcastle on Sunday?

Jo: Hard to say. They need to stop the leaks, and quickly.

AI Dave: Good news for the Lionesses. Sarina Wiegman has extended her England contract until Euro twenty twenty-nine.

Jo: She said she cannot think of a better job in football. Fair enough, she's won two Euros with them!

AI Dave: And Manchester City lose Antoine Semenyo for around eight weeks with a knee injury.

Jo: Ouch. Enzo Maresca just made history with seven wins from seven, too. Typical.

Results round-up

AI Dave: Results time, and Monday night's Premier League game was Tottenham three, Coventry City one. Maddison on fourteen minutes, Jack Rudoni equalised on forty-nine.

Jo: Then Marmoush on fifty-eight, and Ben Davies sealed it in the sixth minute of added time. Late drama!

AI Dave: It lifts Spurs to sixteenth on six points, with Coventry one place below in seventeenth. Frank Lampard's lot had won their last two.

Jo: Here's the thing though. Tottenham had sixty-five per cent of the ball, but the expected goals were nought point eight seven to nought point eight two.

AI Dave: Oh, here she comes with the spreadsheet!

Jo: I'm just saying, the finishing did a lot of work. Am I wrong?

AI Dave: You're not wrong, but I'm still all in on Spurs!

The big talking point

AI Dave: Right, big talking point. Cristiano Ronaldo has been handed a thirty-day ban and a two hundred and fifty-five euro fine by the Portuguese federation.

Jo: And with nineteen days already served, it ends on the thirtieth of October. So he's free for Denmark on the fourteenth of November and Wales on the seventeenth.

AI Dave: My take? Pick him. He's Ronaldo! Jo, do you really leave him out?

Jo: Not automatically, no. He walked out of the camp in Denmark after being an unused sub against Norway.

AI Dave: He did apologise to the fans and his team-mates, though.

Jo: Fair, but he also accused Jorge Jesus of breaking promises, and Jesus denied it. Does that just vanish?

AI Dave: Come on, it's a ban served. Clean slate!

Jo: The ban being over only makes him eligible. Fitness and selection are Jesus's call, not yours, Dave.

AI Dave: Fine, fine, I'd still pick him. Let us know who's right, listeners!

Jo: It's me. It's always me.

Around the sports

Jo: Rugby first. Toulouse beat Exeter Chiefs forty-three, forty in the Champions Cup. Henry Slade pulled a late penalty wide that would have drawn it.

AI Dave: Heartbreaking! And Zack Wimbush scored a hat-trick for Exeter in defeat. Did you see that, Jo?

Jo: I did, and Toulouse had a man sent off for most of that game too. Mad.

AI Dave: Darts now. The European Championship starts Thursday in Dortmund, live on ITV4. Luke Littler faces William O'Connor.

Jo: And Gerwyn Price against Rob Cross is the tie of the round. Who've you got?

AI Dave: Price. Ask me why. Because I said so!

Jo: Brilliant reasoning. Gian van Veen also threw a European Tour record average of one hundred and twenty point two four on Saturday.

AI Dave: That's another planet! And in boxing, Daniel Dubois stopped Fabio Wardley in the second round and says he'd love a third fight with Usyk.

Jo: Then Dalton Smith defends his WBC light-welterweight title against Alberto Puello in Sheffield on Saturday.

On the box today

AI Dave: On the box tonight, it's Champions League! Liverpool v Villarreal at eight on Amazon Prime Video.

Jo: Liverpool are missing Jeremie Frimpong, who's out with a new muscle injury, and Dominik Szoboszlai needs more recovery time. Dave, who've you got?

AI Dave: Liverpool, all in, obviously. Two-one!

Jo: Obviously. Man City host AEK Athens at eight on TNT Sports 1, with Erling Haaland's fitness the big question.

AI Dave: Paris Saint Germain v Barcelona is on TNT Sports 2 at eight. Jo, call it.

Jo: Draw. Two-two. Sit on the fence and nobody can argue!

AI Dave: Earlier, it's Sabah v Dortmund on TNT Sports 2 and Fenerbahce v Slavia Praha on TNT Sports 3, both quarter to six.

Jo: At home, there's a full League One and League Two night on Sky Sports Plus, including Bromley v Leicester City. And FA Cup replays are on The FA Player.
