Salah double seals easy Liverpool win over Arsenal

Liverpool maintained their perfect start to the Premier League season and moved three points clear at the top of the table with a 3-1 win over Arsenal at Anfield.


Joel Matip's header late in the first half gave the home side the lead before Mohamed Salah took the game away from the Gunners with two goals early in the second period.

Salah converted from the spot after winning the penalty himself, then scored a fine solo goal to secure the points, although Arsenal substitute Lucas Torreira did pull one back late on.

Emery will be encouraged Torreira was able to tuck one away with five minutes to go to restore some pride but this was Liverpool's day. No clean sheet but three big points.

Juve start title defence with win

Cristiano Ronaldo had a goal ruled out for offside by the video assistant referee as Juventus started their season with a slender win over Parma.

Captain Giorgio Chiellini scored the Serie A champions' goal, poking in from close range after Alex Sandro mis-hit a shot from a corner.

Ronaldo looked to have doubled his side's lead but his head was judged to have been narrowly offside by VAR.

Juve's £67.5m summer signing Matthijs de Ligt was an unused substitute.

Aaron Ramsey, who joined from Arsenal in the summer, did not make the matchday squad.

Manager Maurizio Sarri did not travel to Parma after receiving treatment for pneumonia, and the former Chelsea boss will also miss next week's home fixture against Napoli.

Marquez takes British Grand Prix pole with lap record

MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez broke the lap record to take pole position for the British Grand Prix.

The championship leader recorded a lap of one minute 58.168 seconds at Silverstone on Saturday.

The Spaniard, 26, will line up on the front row alongside Italian veteran Valentino Rossi who finished 0.428 seconds behind the Honda.

Rossi equalled his best qualifying lap of the season on the Yamaha, while Australian Jack Miller finished third.

Marquez, who claimed his 60th pole position, leads the current standings after 11 of 19 races and will look to extend his 58-point lead over Italian Andrea Dovizioso, who will start seventh on the grid.

'I'm looking forward to ending his career in the desert' - Ruiz Jr confirms Joshua rematch

Unified world heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz Jr says he wants to finish Anthony Joshua's career after confirming he will contest a rematch in Saudi Arabia.

United States-born Mexican Ruiz, 29, shocked Britain's Joshua in New York in June to win the WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO world titles.

They are set to meet again in the Middle East on 7 December.

"I took it to AJ in the Big Apple and I'm looking forward to ending his career in the desert," said Ruiz.

The fight was announced by 29-year-old Joshua's camp earlier in August, but Ruiz had not confirmed his participation.

But on Saturday he posted on social media:
"I'm excited to announce my rematch with Anthony Joshua.

"In the first fight I made history and became the first ever Mexican/American heavyweight champion of the world. 

"I am grateful to Saudi Arabia for inviting me."

Human rights campaigners have questioned the choice of venue, citing Saudi Arabia's human rights record.
