The Ministry of Defence moved to condemn a serving army general who warned that Jeremy Corbyn could face “a mutiny” from the military if he became Prime Minister. In highly contentious remarks, the unnamed army commander said any attempt by Mr Corbyn to take Britain out of Nato, scrap Trident or cut the size of Britain’s forces would be fought by means “fair or foul”.

Gary Neville has admitted that he has been left surprised by Anthony Martial's flying start at Manchester United.

STAR NAMES ARE BEING LEFT IN THE SHADE

Last season's star trio of Sergio Aguero, Eden Hazard and Alexis Sanchez have only two goals between them - Riyad Mahrez of Leicester and Bournemouth's Callum Wilson have five apiece. It is early days, but the form of the lesser-fancied clubs and players is eye-opening

A coroner has concluded for the first time that a man with severe mental illness killed himself as a direct result of being found “fit to work” by the Government’s outsourced disability assessors.

“At least David had a slingshot, we don’t even have one of those.” Such is the assessment, by their own manager, of the task facing Estonia’s women’s team as they face the Goliath of England this afternoon, the Lionesses’ first match since coming third in the summer’s World Cup. That manager is Englishman Keith Boanas, twice a contender to coach his own nation, now trying to lift Estonia’s status in the women’s game from non-entities to minnows.

After the Lord Mayor’s Show comes… another Lord Mayor’s Show. Different cities, same theatre. Argentina could not quite slay the big beast that materialised before them in north London – Japan, everyone’s second favourite rugby team all of a sudden, remain the only name in town on the giant-killing front – but my, they landed their fair share of solid blows. The reigning champions will still be counting their bruises at Christmas.

The staff and guests of the Brighton Hilton rolled out the red carpet, literally, for Japan when the team that shook up the World Cup returned to their city-centre hotel on Saturday night.

STAR PLAYER

Anthony Martial: Kept his role as United's main striker despite the return of Rooney and continued where he left off against Liverpool. Was not always involved in the contest but showed such composure to draw United level before being alert enough to add his second shortly after half-time. Starting to pay off that hefty transfer fee already.

The Ched Evans website is still out there, picturing and denigrating the woman whose identity, by the laws of this land, should be sacrosanct. The Home Secretary, Theresa May, is among those who have provided a reminder that any threat to the anonymity of Evans’ rape victim is a gravely serious offence. North Wales Police threatened prosecution of any who breached the law by disclosing it. But chedevans.com travels blithely on, driven by its sense of victimhood.

Anthony Martial scored twice on his first Premier League start as Manchester United came from behind to defeat Southampton 3-2 in the Premier League on Sunday.

Danny Ings: Injected some much-needed attacking bite at half-time. Took his goal well and his constant running and pestering were a constant problem for Norwich.

For Russell Martin this will have been the longest, sweetest day. As Saturday turned into Sunday, he was in a car making the journey between Merseyside and East Anglia to attend the birth of his son. He then flew back to Liverpool from Norwich with the club directors and, to cap it all, he ended up scoring the equaliser that ensured a buoyant return journey. He will have slept well.

As he left his press briefing after victory at St Mary’s, a thought occurred to Louis Van Gaal and he paused to ask a question of his own about the Dutch manager in the opposing dugout for whom he famously has so little regard. “Did Koeman say that they deserved to win?” he asked, in the manner of a man seeking an answer that he knew would displease him.

The new Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron was forced to dismiss a suggestion from the former Business Secretary Vince Cable that the Lib Dems should disband and form a new party with progressive Labour MPs.

Daniel Sturridge made his long-awaited return to Liverpool's starting XI against Norwich having been out injured since April.

World Champions New Zealand wowed the Wembley crowd with a spine tingling rendition of the Haka before they kicked off their World Cup campaign against Argentina in Pool C.

Housing minister Brandon Lewis has broken ranks by setting out an ambitious target to build one million new homes before the end of the current Parliament.

A memorial honouring soldier Lee Rigby is to be erected near where he was murdered in Woolwich.

Anthony who?

Many questions were asked when Manchester United signed the untested 19-year-old forward Anthony Martial from Monaco for £36m, but after his exquisitely-taken double for the club against Southampton today, it is beginning to look a shrewd piece of business.
