just had new turf put in. Some weeds have started to grow

What is the best and most economical lawn weedkiller? I'm
happy to use a watering can or pump spray to spread the
weedkiller.

To kill everything, slosh on some glyphosphate, or for longer
term treatment use sodium chloride. The whole lawn will go
brown and die quickly.

Souium chloride is table salt. Sodium chlotare is a totally annihilating
plantkiller. It is explosively inflammable. It is a poison. It leaves the
soil unusable for at least one whole season. Which did you mean to
recommend?

Oh - that's not what you want? Ah. So.

Regular mowing will do for most weeds. Spot seeding will do
for plantains, thistles, dandelions etc. I don't know what
area treatments are used now, try asking your school or football
club groundsman, or at a garden centre (you may not want to pay
their prices, just get ideas), or try uk.rec.gardening (I have
taken the liberty of cross-psoting this).
