Watch: Peter Crouch legs it from TNT desk to catch Oasis in Dublin
The Premier League may have begun this weekend but all anyone can think about in Ireland is Oasis playing in Dublin tonight. The band continue their reunion tour in Croke Park as they are set to perform in front of two sold-out crowds this weekend in the first shows in Ireland since 2009. It's been the hottest ticket in town for a while now and it's been a much sought after one as no one wants to miss the Gallagher brothers reunite, including Premier League legend Peter Crouch.

It wasn't a game to write home about as despite Ezri Konsa getting a straight red card for the Villains, neither side really had many chances in what was a drab 0-0 at Villa Park. It was still however a good point for Newcastle, who are still in the midst of the Alexander Isak transfer debacle as the Swede is looking to leave Tyneside for Liverpool. Pic: @footballontnt/ X After all the post-match festivites and interviews the TNT broadcast was coming towards an end when Peter Crouch started to look a bit nervy, especially when host Lynsey Hipgrave teased that they could go on for a but longer. Hipgrave said; 'That's about all we've got time for, oh actually sorry my producer is just telling me we have got a lot more time, he said we can carry on talking.' Crouch replied; 'Lynsey, you know I'm going to Oasis tonight, it's not happening.' Pic: @footballontnt/X Hipgrave questioned Crouch 'Where you going?' But Crouch had no time for any messing around, revealing he was heading to Dublin to see Oasis. 'I'm going to Oasis, I've got a flight to catch'

Fan reveals vile details of Semenyo racist incident during Liverpool's win over Bournemouth
Liverpool kicked off their defence of the Premier League title last night in dramatic fashion as two late goals from Federico Chiesa and Mohamed Salah secured a 4-2 win for The Reds over Bournemouth. Both Chiesa's and Salah's goals came in the closing stages after Liverpool let a 2-0 lead slip to the visitors after Antoine Semenyo's brace cancelled out goals for Cody Gakpo and Hugo Ekitike who got the very first goal of the Premier League season in his first game in the English top flight. However the game has been somewhat overshadowed by an incident that took place moments before Ekitike's goals where the match was stopped for a number of minutes after an incident between a fan and Bournemouth winger Antoine Semenyo.

Then he went over to the two managers Arne Slot and Andoni Iraola as well as the fourth official and the police. It was unclear at the time but it came out soon after play resumed that a racist incident had taken place between a fan and Semenyo. Details of the incident were sparse to begin with but now a fan that was nearby has given an eye witness account. The fan explained that the preparator is a regular season ticket holder and often lets his temper boil over into abuse of referees and players. The eyewitness fan then explained how this time it was all a little bit different. Referee Anthony Taylor speaks with both Arne Slot and Andoni Iraola as Antoine Semenyo of Bournemouth reports racist abuse from a fan. Pic: Robbie Jay Barratt – AMA/Getty Images 'About 28 minutes into the game, Semenyo goes to take a throw in.' the fan said to This Is Anfield. 'He's not a player that goads the fans and seems like a decent lad – the sort of player that people want playing for their club. 'For reasons I'll never know, the fella near me…. shouts something at Semenyo. Semenyo then asks him to repeat it and he repeated it and threw his chewing gum at him. Then, two minutes later, the play is stopped' The fan was eventually removed around 30 minutes later. Antoine Semenyo.

'To my Bournemouth teammates who supported me in that moment, to the Liverpool players and fans who showed their true character, to the Premier League officials who handled it professionally – thank you. 'Football showed its best side when it mattered most. Scoring those two goals felt like speaking the only language that truly matters on the pitch. This is why I play – for moments like these, for my teammates, for everyone who believes in what this beautiful game can be. Antoine Semenyo. Pic: Robin Jones – AFC Bournemouth/AFC Bournemouth via Getty Images 'The overwhelming messages of support from across the football world remind me why I love this sport. We keep moving forward, together.' Last night at Anfield will stay with me forever – not because of one person's words, but because of how the entire football family stood together. To my @afcbournemouth teammates who supported me in that moment, to the @LiverpoolFC players and fans who showed their true…

Liverpool match halted after Bournemouth's Semenyo reports racist abuse from crowd
Liverpool's Premier League season-opening match against Bournemouth was briefly halted on Friday after visiting forward Antoine Semenyo reported getting racist abuse from the crowd. Referee Anthony Taylor stopped play at a Liverpool corner in the 29th minute to address the incident, summoning both managers to the touchline for a briefing. Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk and Bournemouth counterpart Adam Smith were then called over to the benches for further instructions before play resumed four minutes later. Following halftime, an anti-discrimination message was read out to the crowd at Anfield. Ghana international Semenyo, 25, went on to score twice after play resumed, helping his side to briefly level the score before reigning Premier League champions Liverpool secured a 4-2 victory with a late surge. "We're very concerned about the allegation of discrimination from an area of the crowd," England's Football Association said in a statement. "Incidents of this nature have no place in our game, and we will work closely with the match officials, the clubs, and the relevant authorities to establish the facts and ensure that the appropriate action is taken." Merseyside Police said a 47-year-old man had been ejected from Anfield after reports of the racist abuse, adding that an investigation was under way. Liverpool said they would fully support the police investigation. "Merseyside Police will not tolerate hate crime of any form," Chief Inspector Kev Chatterton, the match commander for the game, said in a statement. "We take incidents like this very seriously, and in cases like this we will be proactively seeking football banning orders, with the club, against those responsible. "There is no place for racism and it is vital that anyone who witnesses such an offence reports it to stewards, or the police immediately, so we can take the necessary action like we did this evening" Liverpool coach Arne Slot was upset about the incident. "It is clear that we do not want this in football," the Dutchman said. "We definitely don't want this at Anfield ... This should never happen in football, let alone at Anfield." Bournemouth coach Andoni Iraola said: "Straight away, Antoine and the referee told us. The person has been identified. "It's a big shame that these things keep happening. It's the first game of the season, a lovely game of football, and I have to speak about these things happening." The incident at Anfield follows reports of Tottenham Hotspur's French forward Mathys Tel being subjected to racist abuse on social media after missing a penalty in his side's UEFA Super Cup defeat by Paris St Germain on Wednesday.
