Pep Guardiola kicked off his Manchester City reign with a friendly defeat. Telephost - Manchester City 4 Bournemouth 0: Kevin De Bruyne, Kelechi Iheanacho, Raheem Sterling and Ilkay Gundogan each scored to secure an eighth successive win for the Catalan's charge. They kill quickly do Manchester City. This was their fifth straight win in the Premier League under Pep Guardiola and the longest any team has held out before conceding was Stoke’s 27 minutes at the Britannia Stadium. Here, Bournemouth might have gone behind after nine seconds, they did so after a quarter of an hour and by the end they would have been grateful to have only lost by four. The only stain on the game was Manuel Nolito’s dismissal for needlessly grinding his forehead into Adam Smith’s face when the result was long since decided. The Bournemouth defender retaliated with a shove for which he was shown a yellow card. Nolito’s was red. This is not by a long way Guardiola’s best start – last season he won his first...

The Murray brothers needed every bit of their stamina to prevail Getty Telephost - Having battled it out for five hours and seven minutes in the opening match on Friday, Andy and Juan Martin del Potro found themselves on opposing sides again. Andy Murray dug into his depleted energy reserves to partner brother Jamie to a crucial doubles victory in Great Britain's Davis Cup semi-final against Argentina. Having battled it out for five hours and seven minutes in the opening match on Friday, Andy and Juan Martin del Potro found themselves on opposing sides of the net once again at Glasgow's Emirates Arena. This time it was the home hero who came out on top, thanks in no small part to the performance of Jamie, who won his third grand slam title at the US Open last weekend and was the stand-out player on the court. The 6-1 3-6 6-4 6-4 victory kept Britain in the tie at 2-1 and means a second successive final is still achievable if they can win both singles matches on Sunday. The pai...

Lewis Hamilton Rio de janeiro (Telephost) - Nico Rosberg took a stunning pole position at the Singapore Grand Prix as Lewis Hamilton was demoted to third by Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo. Hamilton was a massive 0.704 seconds slower than Rosberg after a difficult qualifying session, befitting what has been a troubled weekend throughout. Red Bull's Max Verstappen took fourth ahead of Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen. The Finn's team-mate Sebastian Vettel will start last after a technical problem as Jenson Button starts 13th. What happened to Hamilton? Rosberg's was a remarkable performance - he has surely never been as superior to Hamilton when both have been gunning for pole. For his part, Hamilton has looked out of sorts all weekend, missing half of the second practice session on Friday because of a technical problem and struggling to get a good lap in before that. He failed again to do a qualifying simulation lap in Saturday's final practice session, locking his brakes ...

The Iranian flag has been lowered to half-mast in the Paralympic Village and a period of silence will be observed...
