Manchester City Beat Chelsea To Start Premier League Title Defence
Manchester City got their Premier League title defence off to a winning start as goals from Erling Haaland and Mateo Kovacic inflicted a 2-0 defeat on Enzo Maresca in his first match in charge of Chelsea. Haaland marked his 100th appearance for the club with his 91st goal before Kovacic struck on his return to Stamford Bridge to give Pep Guardiola's men the perfect start to their attempt to win a record fifth consecutive English top-flight title. City were shorn of all four of their Euro 2024 finalists -- Rodri, Kyle Waker, John Stones and Phil Foden -- from the start as Guardiola opted to give them extra time off to recover from their summer exertions.

Ivan Toney-Less Brentford Get The Better Of Crystal Palace
Brentford shrugged off the absence of Ivan Toney to get their Premier League season off to a flying start with a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace on Sunday. Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa got the goals for the Bees, who had left out England international Toney over speculation surrounding his future. Toney has less than a year left to run on his contract with the London club and is attracting interest from Saudi clubs after his role in helping England to the Euro 2024 final. Brentford boss Thomas Frank said pre-match his side had shown last season they can cope without Toney -- who missed much of last term due to a betting ban.

France's David Ravetto powers to maiden victory at Czech Masters
France's David Ravetto claimed his maiden DP World Tour win with a stunning closing round of 64 as nearest challenger Jesper Svensson fell away at the 16th hole of the D+D REAL Czech Masters. Ravetto, 27, set a fierce pace with six birdies on Sunday's front nine in Prague to turn a one-shot overnight deficit to Svensson into a three-shot lead. Svensson came back with a birdie at the 10th and was within one when Ravetto bogeyed the 12th, with both men securing birdies on the 13th and 15th before the key moment arrived. Svensson found trouble off the 16th tee for the second day in succession but, in contrast to his astonishing rescue act on Saturday when he hit a three wood 311 yards out of the fairway into the heart of the green, this time he took four to reach the green and then three-putted.
