Gary Neville has warned Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak to improve and become more tenacious if they are to succeed as Liverpool players. The pair are the most expensive signings in the club's history with Wirtz's £116million price-tag only bettered by Isak's £125m transfer as a Premier League record signing. The pair endured underwhelming debut seasons at Liverpool last season as the club finished fifth, relinquishing their Premier League crown to Arsenal.

During the World Cup, the Argentine expressed his desire to leave the LaLiga outfit in order to 'fulfil my dream' - with Arsenal, Real Madrid and especially Barcelona among his suitors. 'I try to be an honest person,' he said while representing his nation at the World Cup. 'I spoke with the people at Atletico Madrid, and I think the best thing for everyone is a transfer. I want to fulfil my dream.'

English cricket is dealing with yet more embarrassing headlines after footage emerged of fast bowler Brydon Carse handcuffed by police outside a Derby nightclub late on Saturday. Carse, who was part of England's squad for the first two Tests against Pakistan and their leading wicket-taker during the Ashes defeat in Australia, was released without charge, having been out celebrating with Durham team-mates following their win over Derbyshire in the county championship. A short video posted on social media showed Carse, 31, surrounded by four policemen outside the club, with fellow Durham stars Ben Stokes and Matthew Potts in the background. One of the policemen is heard to say: 'Just get him over there.'

The Magpies fans held up a mosaic in Keegan's memory ahead of kick-off as there was a minute's silence in memory of the legendary striker who is adored by both clubs. Keegan passed away aged 75 last month after a battle with stomach cancer. He left behind his wife of 51 years, Jean and their two daughters Laura Jane, 47, and Sarah Marie, 43.

JACK GAUGHAN AT THE ETIHAD STADIUM: Part of Manchester City's insistence on making this place an all-round entertainment venue is to install a zip line from the South Stand to the new one named after Pep Guardiola. The general public will be able to fly over the pitch from one end of the Etihad to the other. Sounds adrenaline inducing but not quite as thrilling as the footballers balancing a high wire at the weekends instead. On the evidence of Enzo Maresca's Premier League bow, that is exactly what will be asked of them. No harness strapping these guys in. Precarious, exhilarating, City wobbled, threatened to fall but ultimately stuck the walk with a bit of flourish and panache. Led by their greatest showman, Rayan Cherki, the engineer of both goals - including a sumptuous slid pass for Josko Gvardiol's stoppage-time winner.

JONATHAN McEVOY AT ZANDVOORT: A huge smash for Max Verstappen. And then Lando Norris won the Dutch Grand Prix to press his distant but increasingly interesting claims that he could successfully defend his world title. It was the McLaren man's second successive victory, a sign that momentum may be swinging the British team's way. They began the year poorly, perhaps a hangover from their crowning glory of last season, when they swept to both titles. Norris started on pole here. He lost out to Kimi Antonelli at a restart brought about by Verstappen's thunderous first-lap accident, but then passed the Italian on the 54th of 72 laps. That was job done for him, following his win in Budapest three weeks ago.
