Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid in a lively derby to make it six wins from six at the start of their La Liga title defence, BBC reported.

Mario Hermoso briefly gave Atletico hope with a goal but then all but removed it with a late red card.

The substitute scored with his shoulder with seven minutes to go after Thibaut Courtois had missed a corner from Antoine Griezmann, making his first start of the season for Atletico.

But Hermoso was shown a yellow card for pushing Dani Carvajal and two minutes later picked up a second for shoving Dani Ceballos as they waited for a Griezmann corner.

However, the fixture was marred by what appeared to be racist chants aimed at Real's Brazilian forward Vinicius outside the stadium beforehand, which followed criticism of his dancing goal celebrations and a debate over whether that criticism was racist.

Some fans also reportedly threw objects at Vinicius after a Real goal and aimed further songs at him in the closing stages, according to BBC.

Carlo Ancelotti's Real have won all six games, putting them two points clear of Barcelona at the top. Atletico are seventh.

Real last won their opening six games in 1987-88.

Fifteen-year-old Ethan Nwaneri became the youngest player in Premier League history in Arsenal's 3-0 win over Brentford, BBC reported.

Liverpool midfielder Elliott was 16 years and 30 days old when he played for Fulham in 2019.

Nwaneri replaced Vieira, who had scored the third goal, after 91 minutes and two seconds. He was involved for three minutes and 42 seconds before the game ended after 94 minutes and 44 seconds.

He is the first player under the age of 16 to play in the Premier League.

"We have the opportunities to bring young players on," said Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta before the game.

"We are pretty short and opportunities come when issues arise."

Nwaneri has made several appearances for Arsenal Under-18s and played for England Under-16s when he was 14, according to BBC.

Arsenal's win over Brentford took them back to the top of the table following victories for Manchester City and Tottenham on Saturday.

Last week Northern Irish schoolboy Christopher Atherton became the youngest senior footballer in the United Kingdom aged 13 years and 329 days when he played for Glenavon.

Smoking is a bigger killer in Nepal than in any other South Asian country, according to a new research published today by the Nepal Development Research Institute (NDRI).  The research shows that over 37,000 Nepalis died from smoking in 2019 – that’s nearly one in five (19.4%) of all deaths, twice the rate in 1990 and well ahead of India where just 13.1% of deaths are caused by tobacco. And the rate of death from tobacco has increased more in Nepal in the last 30 years than in any other country in the world.  According to the NDRI’s new report Health Impact of Tobacco in Nepal, at current rates around 1.34 million Nepalis will die from smoking in the next 30 years.  Publishing the report at today’s second National Health Summit conference in Kathmandu, NDRI General Secretary Dr Jaya Gurung is asking politicians of all parties to recognize the scale of this slow-burn health crisis by pledging to take action to stem the tide of deaths.  Dr Gurung said: “This research should be a wake-up call for us. Far too many Nepalis are dying every year because of smoking. We are becoming an outlier in South Asia and around the world, and that should shame us into action.  Every death from smoking is an avoidable tragedy. But in Nepal, we could be doing so much more to lower the numbers of dead. That’s why we’re calling on all politicians to show they understand the scale of this problem and pledge to do something about it.”  NDRI, together with the Nepal Cancer Relief Society, the National Medical Association, Annuapurna Media Network and Yuwa, are calling for politicians commit to tackling tobacco. The coalition has a four-point plan to stop Nepal’s smoking epidemic in its tracks. It is asking politicians to sign a pledge to:  • Match the levels of tobacco taxation in India by 2025
