    Jude Bellingham collected the ball and pushed forward, threading it between the full-back and centre-half for Bukayo Saka.
    But there was just a little too much on it for the Arsenal man as the ball ran out of play.

    ‘Grab the jersey’
    Former England defender Matt Upson believes the decision to select Harry Maguire was the right one by Gareth Southgate.
    He told BBC BBC Radio 5 LIve: “It’s a sensible pairing [Harry Maguire and Marc Guehi], given the fact there is no John Stones.
    “It makes sense that he has experience in Maguire and it seems that Guehi is probably next in line.
    “These younger players or less experienced players need to grab the jersey.”
    Tick tock, tick tock…

    Opportunity knocks…
    It has not quite clicked yet on the pitch for this man since his big-money move to Chelsea in January.
    But Mykhailo Mudryk will be desperate to show everybody in England what he is capable of today.

    TEAM NEWS
    And Henderson has been picked!
    Here’s the England team to face Ukraine this afternoon:

    HEND THE RULES
    Ex-Liverpool star Jordan Henderson has been heavily criticised following his move to Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq.
    A number of reports suggest that the midfielder could be booed by some LGBTQ+ supporters in Wroclaw if he plays.
    However, Gareth Southgate is adamant that has had zero impact on him deciding whether to select him or not.
    He said: “I don’t pick the team based on external reaction.
    “I think Jordan expressed himself this week that he’d be sad if that’s how they felt. His feeling towards that community hasn’t changed.
    “I understand some of the comments that have been, and I respect the comments that have been made.
    “But I think what’s also been said is that they’re going to get behind the team when we play, and I am sure they’ll get behind Jordan when the game starts as well.”
    Credit: Rex
    ZIN IT TO WIN IT
    A host of Ukraine supporters are already inside the ground.
    There are believed to be around 300,000 Ukrainians living in the Wroclaw region now following Russia’s invasion of their homeland last year.
    And Arsenal’s Ukrainian full-back Oleksandr Zinchenko spoke pre-match about how he hopes to see a sea of blue and yellow when they take on England.
    He said: “I know some friends living here since the invasion and the feedback is that Polish people are helping as much as they can.
    “I’m expecting a full stadium of blue and yellow because I know a lot of Ukrainians are living here, of course it will be an amazing atmosphere and I’m expecting a good game as well, both teams play good football.
    “It is impossible to say that it is going to be the same atmosphere as when we play in Ukraine, because when you play in Ukraine even the air is different.
    “I can’t wait until this time we will be (back playing in Ukraine) because all of us are just dreaming about it.”
    THREE LIONS ARRIVE
    We are just over one hour away from England’s Euro 2024 qualifier against Ukraine getting underway.
    The Three Lions are looking to take another huge step towards securing their spot in Germany by continuing their 100 per cent record in Group C.
    Gareth Southgate’s men have arrived at the Stadion Wroclaw in Poland and have already been out inspecting the pitch.

    Ukraine 1-1 England LIVE RESULT: Three Lions remain unbeaten in campaign during drab draw – reaction

    ENGLAND played out a drab draw with Ukraine as they remained unbeaten in the Euro 2024 qualifying campaign.Former Manchester City team-mates Oleksandr Zinchenko and Kyle Walker were the two scorers, with the latter getting his first international goal.
    Gareth Southgate was forced to persevere with Harry Maguire and Marc Guehi in the heart of defence, but a lack of creativity in the final third will also frustrate the manager.

    The final word
    We are now signing off from the live blog of England’s frustrating 1-1 draw away in Poland with Ukraine.
    The Three Lions still remain in pole position in top spot of rRoup C and could seal their place at next summer’s European Championship in Germany in October when they face Italy at Wembley.
    However, there’s a huge game first – despite it only being a “friendly”.
    England head to Hampden Park on Tuesday to face the Auld Enemy Scotland, and you can follow all of the action live here on Sun Sport.
    Here’s what Gareth Southgate had to say about that: “It will be a completely different game.
    “They are going very well, they are a good side, strong in the middle of the park and difficult to score against.
    “We have to reflect on tonight and improve on the performance.”
    Gaffer’s verdict
    Here’s what England boss Gareth Southgate had to say to Channel 4 after that game: “Very tough place to come. You could feel the atmosphere, a unique occasion.
    “We controlled the game, we pacified a lot of that atmosphere by controlling the game. We didn’t create enough chances. If that is the case you have to make sure you don’t lose the game, so to come back from behind and get the point in terms of qualification is very important.
    “When you have that much of the ball you want to create more chances but the attacking play didn’t click today.
    “Once you go behind you have a bit of a mountain to climb away from home but you have to remain calm. After we scored we controlled the game and I thought if anyone would win it it would be us, but we didn’t create enough chances to do that.”

    KANE’S PAIN
    Harry Kane failed to see much action inside the area on what was a frustrating night for the England forward against Ukraine.

    ‘Tick it off’
    Kyle Walker admitted his relief at finally getting off the mark for England – but insists defending is his job “first and foremost”.
    The full-back scored his first Three Lions goal on his 77th cap to secure his country a 1-1 draw with Ukraine.
    Afterwards he said: “It was a relief. To represent your country and be as fortunate as I have this many times, it had been on my mind but now I can finally tick it off.
    “I’ve played with H [Harry Kane] for a number of years now and I know he likes to drop deep and spot that run. I saw the gap. I am pleased I could contribute at that end but my main job is stopping goals.
    “It shows how intelligent he is as a footballer, he can drop deep and play as a number nine. We just need the best Harry Kane.”
    Credit: Rex
    How it unfolded

    KYLE WALKER
    The England goalscorer gives his reaction to the 1-1 draw away to Ukraine:
    “Listen, it’s a point away from home first and foremost.
    “In front of goal we lacked a little bit of cutting edge but sometimes you have these games.
    “Sometimes you just have these nights
    “It’s a good Ukraine side. You take a point and move on and we move to Tuesday which will be a massive game.”

    FAN-TASTIC
    It was a superb result for Ukraine and it was celebrated wildly by their supporters as they lit a number of flares after the whistle.
    They remain second in the group, five points behind England but four ahead of Italy, who take on North Macedonia later tonight.
    Credit: Reuters
    FRUSTRATING
    England will now have to wait until next month’s Wembley clash with Italy, at the earliest, before they clinch qualification for the Euros in Germany. 
    The Three Lions now face an in-form Scotland in a Hampden Park ‘friendly’ on Tuesday.
    And Steve Clarke’s Tartan Army will have little to fear on the basis of this sloppy display and will be licking their lips at the prospect of beating our boys.
    Ukraine 1 England 1
    FT: The final whistle goes and it’s honours even.
    England’s 100 per cent record in Euro 2024 qualification is gone, but the point sees them remain in pole position at the top of Group C.
    Zinchenko’s goal for Ukraine earned them a share of the spoils, and they are still unbeaten under their Serhiy Rebrov.

    Saudi transfer deadline day LIVE: Liverpool face £215m Mo Salah bid, Gerrard wants Jadon Sancho, John Terry EXCLUSIVE

    CHELSEA legend John Terry is on the verge of agreeing a deal to manage Saudi Pro League side Al-Shabbab, SunSport can exclusively reveal. The former England defender has had stints as an assistant coach with Aston Villa and Leicester, but now he’s set to be Saudi’s latest managerial recruit, following in the footsteps of Steven Gerrard.
    Meanwhile, Liverpool have been offered a staggering £215million for winger Mohammed Salah.
    Al-Ittihad made the eye-watering bid just hours after the Reds rejected £150m, and the Saudi Pro League window is still open until Thursday.
    Elsewhere, Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho is reportedly wanted by Steven Gerrard’s Al Ettifaq.
    PADDY POWER WELCOME OFFER – Get £40 in free bet builder bets
    Stay up to date with all the latest from the world of transfer news as the window slams shut.
    Demarai Gray deal details
    Demarai Gray has joined Al-Ettifaq after a turbulent exit from Everton.
    Gray moved to the Middle East following in an £8million deal between the two clubs.
    The 27-year-old penned a four-year deal with Steven Gerrard’s side earlier this week after falling out with the Toffees’ manager Sean Dyche.
    The winger hit out at Dyche last week on social media after falling out of favour at Goodison Park with the following post:
    Everton fans have always been great with me. But it’s so difficult to play for someone who doesn’t show you respect as a personDemarai Gray
    Rooney linked with Birmingham
    DC United manager Wayne Rooney could be set for a shock return to English football as Birmingham are keeping tabs.
    Rooney, 37, cast doubt over his future with the MLS club earlier this week with his contract set to expire in December.
    And now the Manchester United legend could be given a way out as the Championship side emerge as a possible destination.
    The Blues, part-owned by NFL legend Tom Brady, made a strong start to the season under John Eustace – who has a contract until 2025.
    SunSport understands the club is preparing for the eventuality of Eustace leaving the club.
    There is no indication he will be sacked but he has been mooted as a possible successor to Michael Beale at Rangers should the Scottish giants seek a replacement.
    Terry to Al-Shabab
    Chelsea legend John Terry has verbally agreed to become the head coach of Al-Shabab.
    According to Sky Sports, Terry is set for his first ever role as a manager.
    The 42-year-old was approached by the Saudi club’s chiefs around a month ago and has been offered a contract of at least two years and up to four if it is rubber stamped as expected.
    The former England international is currently working on a one-year deal as a consultant in the Blues’ academy.
    The West Londoners have already said they will not stand in his way as a mark of respect to his service to them over almost two decades.
    That is despite the fact a departure will be a big blow to their youth team losing such a figurehead from their camp.
    Gerrard eyes Sancho
    Al-Ettifaq are keeping tabs on Manchester United ace Jadon Sancho before the Saudi Arabian summer transfer window slams shut tonight.
    According to CBS, Steven Gerrard’s side is set to make a dramatic last-minute loan move for Sancho,.
    The winger appears to have no future at Old Trafford having fallen out with manager Erik Ten Hag after lashing out on social media against him.
    The England international’s options are obviously limited but Saudi Arabia and Turkey represent potential options.
    And it appears the 23-year-old could be following Demarai Gray over to Al-Ettifaq to ply his trade under manager Gerrard.
    Mohamed Salah – What we know
    Al-Ittihad are determined to sign Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah today before the Saudi transfer window slams shut at 10pm BST.
    The Reds have been adamant they are unwilling to sell Salah and their resolve has truly been put to the test.
    As per SunSport’s Steve Brenner, the Saudi champions offered a world record £215million for the star forward.
    The Egypt international has been offered a staggering £2.45m a week to quit Anfield with extra incentives.
    The 31-year-old has been tempted with a large percentage of shirt sales, a £55,000 win bonus as well as ambassadorial roles for at least three major Saudi companies for the duration of his contract.
    That could be worth an extra £18m with each firm willing to pay the ex-Roma star £6m each.
    Al-Ettifaq troll Liverpool and rivals
    Al-Ettifaq have trolled rivals Al-Ittihad in their announcement video for Demarai Gray.
    The video used a retro-arcade style and showed the team browsing players to buy from the Premier League.
    The team picked Liverpol and attempted to pick to choose Salah before an image of an angry Jurgen Klopp popped up saying “NO!”
    The ‘player’ then scrolls across to sign Gray.
    The extraordinary clip alludes to Al-Ittihad’s transfer pursuit of Salah and the side may try one last time before the Saudi deadline tonight.
    Lyon want to appoint Julen Lopetgui
    Lyon have made former Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui their primary target for their vacant managerial role.
    The club sacked Laurent Blanc following a poor start to the season and had attempted to appoint Graham Potter earlier today.
    Potter though, did not feel the timing was right on the move.
    Lyon have now turned their efforts towards appointing Lopetegui who left Wolves this summer due to a dispute over transfers.

    Al-Ettifaq to make offer for Sancho
    Al-Ettifaq are set to make a dramatic last-minute loan move for Jadon Sancho, according to CBS.
    The winger appears to have no future at the club having fallen out with manager Erik Ten Hag.
    His options are obviously limited by the European transfer being closed but Saudi Arabia and Turkey represent potential options.
    And it appears he could be following Demarai Gray over to Al-Ettifaq to ply his trade under manager Steven Gerrard.
    Demarai Gray presented as an Al-Ettifaq player
    Demarai Gray has officially been unveiled as an Al-Ettifaq player after penning a four year deal with the club.
    The winger will link up with former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson as well as Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard, who is the Dammam side’s manager.
    Everton will receive £8million for his signature – a significant profit on the £1.8m they paid to sign him in 2021.

    Manchester City sold Cole Palmer after he placed demands on Guardiola
    FourFourTwo report that Manchester City sold Cole Palmer after he asked Pep Guardiola for increased playing time this season.
    Having made 40 appearances in three seasons since making the step up to senior football, the 21-year-old wanted to become a more regular member of the starting XI and believed the departure of Mahrez opened that door for him.
    However, Pep could not guarantee that Palmer would be given minutes going forward this season.
    So when Chelsea made their £45million offer, all sides welcomed the potential exit.
    Lingard to play for West Ham today
    Jesse Lingard will play for West Ham today in a behind-closed-doors friendly.
    The club are weighing up giving Lingard a cotract after his release by Nottingham Forest.
    He has been training with the club over the summer and Moyes still thinks fondly of his time with West Ham on a short term loan in 2021.
    Lingard did however reject The Hammers last summer to join Forest, which has led to some reluctance on the club’s side to give him a playing contract just yet.
    Details on Gravenberch transfer
    The Athletic report that Liverpool had held talks regarding the signing of Ryan Gravenberch all the way back in April as they looked to reinforce their midfield.
    The signing had been presented as an opportunistic one in some sections of the media – with United also reportedly being in for the midfielder on loan.
    But it turns out Liverpool had been in regular contact with the player and his father from April onwards, with Gravenberch growing frustrated over his role at Bayern.
    Thomas Tuchel had limited the player’s game time as he prefers to operate with two out and out 6’s rather than a player like Gravenberch who is much more box to box.
    Gravenberch’s £35million transfer was confirmed in the closing days of the window with Bayern finally realising they were better off cashing in rather than keeping a player that was unhappy at his lack of game time.
    Demarai Gray signs for Al-Ettifaq
    Demarai Gray has signed for Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq.
    The winger joins the club on a four year deal, with Everton receiving £8million for his services.
    Gray made his desire to leave Everton clear last week, posting on his Instagram story: “[It’s] difficult to play for someone who doesn’t show you respect as a person”
    Everton have made a healthy profit on Gray, having signed him for just £1.8million in 2021.
    John Terry to become Al-Shabbab head coach
    John Terry has verbally agreed to become the head coach of Al-Shabbab, according to Sky Sports.
    The role will be John Terry’s first as a manager.
    Terry, 42, was approached by bosses at Al-Shabab around a month ago and has been offered a contract of at least two years and up to four if it is rubber stamped as expected.
    He is currently working on a one year deal as a consultant in the Chelsea academy.
    Chelsea have already said they will not stand in his way as a mark of respect to his service to them over almost two decades – even though it will be a big blow to their youth team losing such a figurehead from their camp.
    Eric Dier holds talks with Levy
    The Telegraph report that Eric Dier held talks with Daniel Levy this week after being frozen out by new manager Ange Postecoglou.
    The talks were apparently cordial, with no suggestion that there has been a row or a fall out between Dier and Postecoglou.
    The details of the meeting were kept private but it is likely that Dier wanted clarity on his position within the squad after falling down the pecking order behind 19-year-old centre-back Ashley Phillips.
    There is some interest in Dier from clubs in Saudi Arabia so that will be one to keep an eye on today.
    Although it is more likely Dier will see out the remaining year of his Spurs contract before moving to a European club on a free next summer.

    Tebas regrets Messi decision
    LaLiga boss Javier Tebas has told Fabrizio Romano that he regrets that Lionel Messi will not finish his career at Barcelona.
    Messi held talks with the club over the summer about a return to the Nou Camp but ultimately opted to join David Beckham’s Inter Miami.
    Tebas said on the matter: “Leo Messi didn’t finish his career at Barcelona because they couldn’t find an agreement.
    “I wish he could have finished his career in LaLiga. It would have been the best for him, for me, and for Barcelona.”

    Potter rejects Lyon
    Graham Potter has turned down the chance to take over as Lyon boss, according to reports.
    Potter was the club’s number one target after they parted ways with Laurent Blanc following a difficult start to the season.
    But according to Sky, Potter has turned down the move.
    He reportedly felt as though now was not the right time to take on the job, despite being intrigued by the project.
    Potter has been out of a job since being sacked by Chelsea in April this year.

    John Terry set for Saudi move
    John Terry is set to begin his managerial career in the Saudi league as manager of Al-Shabbab.
    Terry, 42, was approached by bosses at Al-Shabab around a month ago and has been offered a contract of at least two years and up to four if it is rubber stamped as expected.
    He is currently working on a one year deal as a consultant in the Chelsea academy.
    Chelsea have already said they will not stand in his way as a mark of respect to his service to them over almost two decades – even though it will be a big blow to their youth team losing such a figurehead from their camp.
    Saudi deadline day
    Today marks the last day that Saudi clubs can make transfers before the window re-opens in January.
    It could be a busy day with many Premier League sides still seeing the league as an ideal place to shift their deadwood for a good price.
    But the window also represents a threat for some clubs, particularly Liverpool.
    Al-Ittihad are desperate to complete a move for Mo Salah and could test Liverpool’s resolve one last time with a bid north of £200million.
    Man Utd could move for Palhinha
    Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha. 
    The Portuguese star looked set to move to Bayern Munich this summer, but saw a deadline day move collapse after the cottagers couldn’t find a suitable replacement. 
    And The Athletic are now reporting that United could move for the 28-year-old in January. 
    They would face competition still from Bayern who are said to remain interested in re-entering the race for Palhinha’s signature by The Evening Standard.
    Mbappe not ruling out Prem switch
    Kylian Mbappe is reportedly open to a move to the Premier League next summer.
    The PSG star has just one year remaining on his current deal before he becomes a free agent next year.
    And according to L’Equipe, Liverpool is still a potential destination for the French superstar.
    However it has been widely reported that Mbappe is keen on a move to Real Madrid with PSG officials convinced a deal has already been agreed.
    It is most likely that the World Cup winner will head to Los Blancos next season.

    Pepe heading for Trabzonspor
    Nicolas Pepe is reportedly edging closer to a move to Trabzonspor.
    According to Foot Mercarto, the Turkish outfit are advancing talks with Pepe over a deal. 
    The move would see the Ivorian join Trabzonspor on a one-year contract if all goes to plan. 
    The Gunners winger has also been linked with a move to Besiktas and also to Saudi Arabia, but it looks as if they could be off. 
    Pepe joined Arsenal in 2019 for £72million, but has failed to live up to his price tag.
    Salah saga ‘over’
    Mohamed Salah’s transfer saga with Al-Ittihad is reportedly over.
    The Liverpool forward has been linked with a move to the Saudi Arabian outfit with the club said to be willing to pay The Reds up to £200m for his services.
    But it looks like the saga could have finally come to an end before Saudi’s transfer deadline day.
    According to Foot Mercato, Salah will now stay at Liverpool and won’t be making a move to the Middle East this summer.
    The news will come as music to the ears of Jurgen Klopp who has been desperate to keep hold of his star man.
    Credit: PA
    Palace include new Olise release clause
    Crystal Palace have reportedly allowed for another release clause in Michael Olise’s new contract with the club.
    Olise almost left the Eagles to join Chelsea this summer after The Blues activated the Frenchman’s £35m release clause.
    But instead Olise signed a new deal at Selhurst Park that will see him stay in South London until 2027.
    However The Evening Standard, have reported that the 21-year-old’s new deal also contains a release clause.
    It is said that the clause doesn’t become active until next summer’s transfer window and it is not yet known what kind of fee would trigger it.
    West Ham face competition for Lingard
    West Ham are reportedly in a battle to sign Jesse Lingard as the free agent assess his options.
    Lingard, whose deal with Nottingham Forest expired this summer, has been training with The Hammers at the start to the campaign.
    It is said that he has impressed David Moyes and the East London outfit are reportedly keen to offer him a short-term deal.
    But it won’t be easy with Football Insider now suggesting that Turkish duo Galatasaray and Fenerbahce are both interested in the 30-year-old.
    Any deal can be completed outside of the transfer window as a result of Lingard’s free agent status.

    Arsenal 1-1 Man Utd
    37. Anthony gets on to the ball on the right, and cuts inside.
    “Trickery!” screams Peter Drury.
    The Brazilian then hilariously slices a shot so wide that it ends up behind him.
    Arsenal 1-1 Man Utd
    36. United take possession of the football and look for ways to probe the hosts.
    Arsenal slip back into formation 31 of the 43 that Mikel Arteta likes to use.
    Arsenal 1-1 Man Utd
    34. Back in January, it took Arsenal seven minutes to cancel out Marcus Rashford’s opener.
    This time, it was jus 35 seconds.
    Arsenal 1-1 Man Utd
    32. Oh, Bruno Fernandes!
    The Manchester United captain takes the ball of the foot of Wan-Bissaka, just as the right-back was about to let fly from the edge of the box.
    Arsenal 1-1 Man Utd
    30. The game has burst into life in a blink of an eye.
    Suddenly both teams are going for it full throttle.
    Arsenal 1-1 Man Utd
    28. Thirty-five seconds after the restart, and Arsenal have their equaliser!
    Gabriel Martinelli makes inroads on the left, exchanges passes with Eddie Nketiah, and squares low across the penalty area for Martin Odegaard.
    Head down over the ball, the Gunners captain sweeps his first-time shot left-footed past Andre Onana and into the bottom corner.
    What a response!
    An immediate response!

    Arsenal 0-1 Man Utd
    27. Astonishing!
    Manchester United have not going as an attacking force, but now they have the lead.
    Christian Eriksen intercepts a sloppy pass deep in his own half, and unleashes Marcus Rashford down the left.
    The England man has time to run at two back-tracking Arsenal defenders before cutting inside on to his right foot and letting fly.
    Aaron Ramsdale gets a touch to the ball, but can’t stop it from thumping the inside of the post and finding the net.
    The away end of the Emirates erupts.
    Against the run of play!

    Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd
    25. More frustration from the home fans and their players too.
    Antony kicks the ball away after being pulled up for a foul on Gabriel, and doesn’t receive the customary yellow card.
    Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd
    23. Martinez goes back to take a goalkick, and – not for the first time – Anthony Taylor runs forward to indicate that he won’t tolerate any time-wasting.
    Surely, Manchester United aren’t time wasting in the first half of a Premier League game when it’s 0-0.
    Surely.
    Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd
    22. It’s getting a bit spiky out there.
    Consecutive tackles leave Havertz and White on the deck, and lead to a lot of gestures to calm things down.
    Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd
    21. Boos are ringing out from the home fans in the direction of Anthony Taylor.
    They’re not happy that the referee has penalised Saka for a trip on Dalot that had left the Arsenal player through on goal.
    It’s the right decision, of course.
    Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd
    20. “Andre Onana has been Manchester United’s best outfield player so far,” bemoans Gary Neville on co-commentary.
    “That in itself tells you that they have a problem.”
    Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd
    18. The home side push forward again, and it requires a defensive header behind from Martinez to deny Saka.
    Arsenal’s right winger goes across to take the corner himself, and his whipped delivery is pinpoint for the head of Rice.
    The former West Ham man, however, gets underneath the cross and sends his effort over. He runs back, visibly frustrated with himself.
    Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd
    16. The game is being played predominantly in the Manchester United half.
    Even though the visitors have seen a fair share of the ball, they’ve not been able to link anything together in the final third.
    Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd
    14. Martinelli fires the corner straight into the nearest United defender at the front post.
    Perhaps he’s just trying to make Havertz feel better.
    Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd
    13. Oh, what a mess!
    Martinelli’s cross into the area from the left is headed by Fernandes straight into Martial.
    It subsequently drops to the feet of Havertz ten yards from goal, but the German inexplicably miskicks.
    The ball still looks as though it could spin into the path of Nketiah though, and it takes a desperate slide from Martinez to put it behind for a corner.
    A huge chance goes begging.
    Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd
    11. Sure enough, a sharp break down the right sees Saka go at Dalot for the first time.
    He ultimately squares to Odegaard, who is dispossessed by a perfect Fernandes tackle.
    Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd
    10. Arsenal keep possession at the back, slowing the game down after a frantic start.
    You get the feeling it won’t be long before they opt to go at United again though.
    Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd
    8. Havertz clatters into Antony and sends the winger somersaulting into the air.
    It’s not a great-looking challenge from the German, but somehow the United player still manages to overdo it with his reaction.
    Referee Anthony Taylor keeps his cards in his pocket on this occasion.
    Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd
    7. Onana has just come so far out of his goal to play a pass downfield that he was actually in front of Lindelof and Martinez.
    That seems to be asking for trouble.
    Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd
    5. On closer inspection, that United kit is dark green and white stripes.
    My eyes are so bad I’m thinking of becoming a Premier League referee.
    Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd
    3. It’s been a whirlwind start from Arsenal and Martinelli in particular.
    The winger wins the game’s first corner after taking on Wan-Bissaka, and then almost wins a penalty by dribbling beyond a dozing Fernandes.
    The Manchester United captain thought about having a nibble at the Arsenal man, but pulled out at the final second.
    Arsenal 0-0 Man Utd
    2. In fact, it was the Gunners that had an opportunity to grab an early lead.
    Martinelli got in behind his man on the left, but with Odegaard and Nketiah awaiting in the area, the Brazilian was caught in two minds and crossed between the pair. More

    MAX VERSTAPPEN has secured a world-record win at the Italian Grand Prix.There was a 23-minute delay to the start of the race after Yuki Tsunoda crashed during the formation lap.
    However, the Dutch icon kept his composure to make it a staggering ten wins in a row.
    But it wasn’t so good for a penalised Lewis Hamilton who could only manage a sixth-place finish.

    That’s all from us
    Verstappen romped to a tenth win in a row to see the Dutchman break the record for most wins in a row.
    After starting on hard tyres, Lewis Hamilton battled past Piastri, Norris and Albon to finish in P6.
    It was another 1-2 finish for Red Bull as Perez finished in second place, a good distance behind Verstappem.
    Ferrari performed well at their home GP, bringing home good points in 3rd and 4th place, which sees them overtake Aston Martin in the constructors championship.
    Thank you for staying with us this afternoon.
    We’ll have Singapore up next, and we hope you will join us for then as well!
    Piastri can’t fault Hamilton
    After speaking to Hamilton, Oscar Piastri is next on the list to speak to Sky Sports about the crash incident.
    This is what he had to say on the touch:
    The incident with Lewis, he probably just creeped over a bit more than he thought.
    “The stewards gave out their verdict and he has apologised so there is nothing more I can ask for or do at that point.”Oscar PiastriSky Sports
    Hamilton takes the blame
    Lewis Hamilton had a collision with Oscar Piastri, which saw the latter fall down the leaderboard heavily, as he had to have his nose replaced.
    However, he has since taken the blame, when speaking to Sky Sports:
    “It was totally my fault and I went and apologised to him straight afterwards and we move on.” Lewis HamiltonSky Sports
    A solid drive from Lewis Hamilton
    It was a good day today for the brilliant Lewis Hamilton, who ended the race in 6th place.
    It was a bold strategy from Mercedes, as he started the race on the hard tyres and switched to the mediums mid way through the race.
    He had to battle his way past Piastri, Norris and Albon, and did so successfully.
    It wasn’t all smooth for the British legend though, as he collided with Oscar Piastri at one point, and sent him tumbling down the leaderboard, while maintaining a lucky escape.
    He was punished however, with a five second time penalty.
    He also rolled back the years briefly, with his late pit stop allowing us to see him battle with Max Verstappen in first and second place.
    A solid drive.

    Carlos Sainz reflects
    Carlos Sainz is jubilant with his third place finish, and this is what he had to say on his battle with Charles Leclerc:
    “This is what racing should be all the time in my opinion.
    “This reminds me of the karting days when we were all on the limits.
    “With Max we have had these battles in the past, with Checo we have had these battles in the past and with Carlos today, it was really on the limit.
    “I personally really enjoyed it.”Carlos Sainzvia Sky Sports
    Constructors championship standings
    This is how the top four looks in terms of the constructors championship after today’s race.
    Red Bull of course lead the way on 583 points.
    There is a 310 point gap between them and Mercedes, who sit second on 273 points.
    Ferrari are closing in on them a bit more after today, on 228 points, a gap of 45 points.
    But, they are being tailed closely by Aston Martin, who they overtook today, they stand on 217 points, just 11 behind the Italian team.

    Verstappen on his historic 10th
    Max Verstappen has spoken to Sky Sports on his record-breaking tenth consecutive race win.
    This is what he had to say…
    “I never would have believed it was possible but we had to work for it today and that made it a lot more fun.
    “We had good pace but they had a lot of top speed so it was hard to get close and get the move into Turn One so I had to force him into a mistake.
    “Luckily it came at some point where he locked up.”Max Verstappenvia Sky Sports
    Driver of the day
    It is Carlos Sainz who gets a 31% vote for driver of the day, and wins it in the process.
    He was excellent in fending off Max Verstappen for the first 15 laps or so, but the Dutchman got his inevitable overtake in the end.
    However, Sainz continued to drive excellently and came home with a 3rd placed finish.
    Great drive.
    The podium in all it’s glory
    Stunning top three today, with a Red Bull 1-2 and Sainz finishing off the top three.
    Verstappen must be getting bored of all this champagne by now.

    Sainz speaks:
    Carlos Sainz has been chatting to Sky Sports post-race, and this is what he had to say following his 3rd place finish…
    “It was tough. It does not get tougher than it was out there today.
    “Honestly, I spent the whole race pushing trying to keep the Red Bulls behind.
    “In the end, I paid a bit of a price with the rear tyres.
    “It has always ben a pleasure to race Charles when I have had the chance.
    “We had fun out there today.” 
    It does not get tougher than it was out there today.”Carlos Sainzvia Sky Sports
    The best of the rest!
    It is Sergio Perez who completes the 1-2 in second, followed by Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc.
    It’s George Russell who takes fifth place, Lewis Hamilton in sixth, and Alex Albon in seventh.
    Max Verstappen wins the Monza GP!
    For the first time in Formula One history, Max Verstappen has won TEN consecutive races, and broken Sebastian Vettel’s record!
    “I’ll take that!” he says.
    “That’s history.” are the words from Christian Horner.
    Exceptional driving, from an exceptional driver.
    HIstory.

    Final lap!
    Lap 51/51.
    Here we go into the final lap.
    The two battling Ferrari’s are told to go for a ‘no risk’ strategy, and just as they are told Leclerc locks up!
    That could have been a disaster for Ferrari, but they escape!
    Hamilton gets his man!
    Lap 49/51.
    Lewis Hamilton sneaks past Alex Albon into 6th place on the first corner.
    He has driven brilliantly in this race, and now sits just behind George Russell.
    The Ferrari’s battling
    Lap 49/51.
    Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc are both battling for a place on the podium now, and are getting incredibly close to contact.
    Who will come out on top? It is so, so close.
    Great racing.
    Lewis Hamilton chasing 6th
    Lap 47/51.
    It’s Lewis Hamilton’s turn to chase Alex Albon now, who has been defending this position like a League Two team against a Premier League team in the cup.
    Park the bus, if you will, from Alex Albon…
    Perez makes the move stick!
    Lap 46/51.
    Sergio Perez is finally into second place, overtaking Carlos Sainz on lap 46.
    It’s Red Bull who are looking for a 1-2 finish here now!
    Perez chasing 2nd place
    Lap 45/51.
    Sergio Perez is right on the tail of Carlos Sainz here.
    He tries to make a move on him, and gets into 2nd place, but he went off the track to do so.
    The place is given back to Sainz.
    We will go again…
    Hamilton and Piastri crash!
    Lap 42/51.
    Lewis Hamilton and Oscar Piastri are going toe-to-toe here, and they make contact!
    Hamilton squeezes him into the corner and the two touch, and get away down the escape road.
    There is a nose change for Piastri who comes in to pit.
    The stewards will look at this now…

    Hamilton briefly takes Piastri
    Lap 40/51.
    Lewis Hamilton has been stalking the three ahead of him for the last three laps, and looks as though he is starting to fall in love with the medium tyres.
    He gets past Piastri, but Piastri gets back ahead.
    He may not be able to hold off for much longer.
    Norris targeting Albon
    Lap 37/51.
    Lando Norris is currently half a second behind Alex Albon in the Williams, and will be pretty happy with a 6th placed finish in this one.
    Piastri is behind him by a second, and will surely be going after Albon is Norris can get in front of him.
    Perez takes 3rd
    Lap 33/51.
    Brilliant work from Sergio Perez in the other Red Bull to get the better of Charles Leclerc.
    The chase is on now as he targets Carlos Sainz.
    Verstappen has a six second lead
    Lap 32/51.
    He is inevitable isn’t he?
    Verstappen has zoomed into a six second lead here in Monza, and it looks like he will be breaking the record with a tenth straight race win.
    There are plenty of laps before the final flag, will he hold on?
    Probably…
    Hamilton pits!
    Lap 28/51.
    Hamilton goes into the pits, and comes back out in 10th place on medium tyres instead of hard.
    He should have plenty of pace now, but may struggle to complete a one-stop race on the mediums.
    He will be trying to get the better of Piastri, Norris and Albon now…
