Liverpool maintained its unbeaten Premier League start with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium. Alexander Isak scored in the 57th minute after Cody Gakpo created the opportunity and Bournemouth defender Antonio Silva failed to clear the cross. Chances were limited, but Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson made a key close-range save to deny Evanilson. The match marked Andoni Iraola’s return to Bournemouth after leaving the club for Liverpool, while Bournemouth continued to seek its first league win under Marco Rose after a midweek Europa League victory over Real Sociedad.

CFP, ESPN Agree to 24-Team Playoff Expansion

The College Football Playoff says its expanded media-rights agreement with ESPN is in final review, paving the way for a proposed 24-team playoff starting in 2027, with four Power Four automatic bids, one Group of Six bid and 19 at-large spots.
