New Daily Sports News Bulletin

Full transcript

Good morning

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

Jo: And I'm Jo, here to stop Dave going all in on the very first story.

AI Dave: No promises! Phil Foden's hat-trick at the Etihad, a seven-goal thriller at Anfield, and a big doubt over Bayern's dugout before they face Arsenal.

Jo: Plus Carrick, a massive night of Champions League, and a mountain of results. Let's go.

The headlines

AI Dave: Foden first. Hat-trick as Man City beat AEK Athens five-one, a proper response to the PSG defeat.

Jo: Elliot Anderson opened the scoring, Cherki got one, and Rico Lewis set up two of Foden's. Did you see that coming with Haaland on the bench?

AI Dave: Honestly? I'm all in on Foden every week, so yes.

Jo: Of course you are. And seventeen-year-old Floyd Samba got his first Champions League start too. Lovely touch.

AI Dave: Now Liverpool. Four-three against Villarreal, and they were two down inside half an hour!

Jo: Virgil van Dijk's error gave Mikautadze the opener in the fourth minute. We gave him four out of ten. Too harsh?

AI Dave: Not for that back-header, Jo! But Mac Allister's double and Rio Ngumoha's two assists dragged them back. Ngumoha was our player of the match.

Jo: Big news from Munich as well. Vincent Kompany could miss Bayern against Arsenal with a viral infection.

AI Dave: Assistant Aaron Danks would take charge from the touchline. And Neuer is back in training after a foot injury, but no decision yet on him.

Jo: Kimmich missed training for personal reasons, so that one's unclear too. Plenty for Arsenal to think about.

AI Dave: Villa have problems as well. Johan Manzambi is out against Viking, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka is expected to be out for three to four weeks.

Jo: That's a blow, with Manchester City coming to Villa Park on Saturday.

Results round-up

AI Dave: Right, the results! Champions League first, and what a night. Man City five, AEK Athens one. Liverpool four, Villarreal three.

Jo: Paris Saint Germain four, Barcelona two! Doué, Hernández, Vitinha and Fabián Ruiz for PSG, Yamal and Espart for Barca.

AI Dave: Napoli four, Bodø Glimt three. Scott McTominay scored twice, and Bodø got one in the ninetieth minute!

Jo: Wild. Borussia Dortmund won two-one at Sabah, both from Guirassy. Roma four, Slovan Bratislava nil. PSV won one-nil at Porto.

AI Dave: Fenerbahçe two, Slavia Praha two, with Mason Greenwood on the scoresheet. Stuttgart one, Atlético Madrid one, and Hjulmand was sent off for Atlético.

Jo: Championship now. Wolves one, Portsmouth one, Jordan James for Wolves and Terry Devlin with an eighty-sixth minute leveller for Pompey.

AI Dave: League One. Leicester won four-nil at Bromley! Huddersfield four, Peterborough one, with Joe Taylor getting two.

Jo: Mansfield three, AFC Wimbledon nil, with Michael Smith getting two. Stevenage three, Plymouth nil. Stockport won two-nil at Doncaster.

AI Dave: Oxford two, Wigan one. Notts County two, Sheffield Wednesday nil. Luton two, Barnsley one. Blackpool two, MK Dons nil.

Jo: Cambridge two, Wycombe two, and Jayden Wareham got both for Wycombe. Burton and Bradford couldn't be separated, nil-nil.

AI Dave: League Two. Cheltenham four, Fleetwood two. Shrewsbury won three-two at Crawley with a ninetieth minute winner from Josh Davison!

Jo: Swindon won three-one at Barnet, Aaron Drinan with two in two minutes. Walsall three, Oldham nil. Exeter two, Crewe nil.

AI Dave: Salford won two-one at Bristol Rovers. Tranmere won one-nil at Northampton. Rotherham two, Newport two. Rochdale two, Grimsby two.

Jo: York one, Accrington one. Chesterfield one, Colchester one. Gillingham one, Port Vale one. Lots of draws!

AI Dave: And the FA Cup! Altrincham won six-two at United of Manchester! Yeovil five, Leatherhead two. Forest Green five, Chesham nil. Stafford Rangers five, Gateshead nil.

Jo: Harrogate three, Bury one, with Ellis Taylor scoring twice late on. Alvechurch four, Spalding nil. Macclesfield won three-nil at Anstey Nomads. Barrow won two-nil at Gloucester City.

AI Dave: Aldershot won two-nil at Tadley Calleva. Worcester City one, Chorley nil. And Cray Wanderers two, Bedford Town two after extra time.

The big talking point

AI Dave: Right, talking point! Manchester United at Como tonight. Erik ten Hag says keep Michael Carrick.

Jo: His words: it is not the solution to dismiss him, one hundred per cent not. Do you agree, Dave?

AI Dave: I do! Give the man time. They led at Tottenham and at Leeds and drew both one-all. That's bad luck and bad finishing, not a broken team.

Jo: Hang on. Seven points from seven games, one win. Throwing away leads twice isn't bad luck, it's a pattern!

AI Dave: Fair, but sacking managers every few months hasn't worked either, has it? Be honest.

Jo: Fine. But they're down Yoro through suspension, and Martinez and Rashford missed training. Carrick doesn't get many excuses from me tonight.

AI Dave: You're tough! I'm all in on Carrick.

Jo: You're all in on everything! Last week it was a pigeon in your garden.

AI Dave: It was a very good pigeon, Jo! Let us know who you think is right, listeners.

Around the sports

Jo: Darts now. Michael van Gerwen has dropped to tenth in the PDC rankings, just three thousand pounds ahead of Nathan Aspinall.

AI Dave: He lost six-five to William O'Connor in Maastricht, his third European Tour event in a row without a win. Niels Zonneveld won the title, beating Danny Noppert eight-five.

Jo: Van Gerwen plays Kevin Doets on Friday at the European Championship in Dortmund. That starts Thursday on Sky Sports. Can he turn it around?

AI Dave: I think he'll scrape through. Doubters are welcome!

Jo: Rugby league. England face France on Saturday at seven thirty-five in the morning on Premier Sports One, after losing thirty-twelve to Tonga.

AI Dave: And the Red Roses play Canada at midnight on Friday night, live on BBC iPlayer. Canada beat them twenty-four, twenty-one and ended a forty-one match unbeaten run.

Jo: Amy Cokayne says they're not miles off. Gloucester v Bath on Friday at seven forty-five, TNT Sports One, if you fancy a derby.

On the box today

AI Dave: Right, tonight! Como against Manchester United kicks off at five forty-five on TNT Sports Two and HBO Max.

Jo: Also at five forty-five, Lille v Galatasaray on TNT Sports Four. Then eight o'clock is the big one, Bayern Munich against Arsenal on TNT Sports One.

AI Dave: Aston Villa v Viking is on TNT Sports Two, Real Madrid v RB Leipzig on TNT Sports Four, and Inter v Shakhtar Donetsk on TNT Sports Five.

Jo: And if you're not into the Champions League, Reading v Leyton Orient is on Sky Sports Football at eight.

AI Dave: Quick-fire time. Bayern v Arsenal, who've you got?

Jo: Arsenal. Madueke won it late at Forest and they're rolling. One-nil! Your turn.

AI Dave: Villa to beat Viking, comfortably. I'm all in.

Jo: Obviously! And tomorrow it's Europa League. Sunderland at Lech Poznan at five forty-five, Bournemouth v Milan at eight.

Sign-off

AI Dave: That's the show! Head to dave dot sport for everything we've talked about, and the A.I. Live Football Studio for live scores tonight.

Jo: Thanks for listening, and enjoy the football.

AI Dave: Bye for now!
