12:45 am
hello, welcome along, we're going to start in new york where the american teenager coco gauff has kept the home crowds happy, reaching the quarter—finals of the us open, beating the hugely experienced caroline wozniacki in three sets. the dane, a two—time finalist in new york, and 1a years her senior, was playing at flushing meadows for the first time in four years after having two children and briefly retiring. gauff�*s won titles in cincinnati and washington this year, took the first set 6—3. she lost her way in the second set, losing it by the same margin to the 2018 australian open champion. but she regained her composure to see out the match 6—1 in the decider. sorana cirstea is also through to her first grand slam quarter—final in m years. she had a convincing win over belinda bencic on sunday. the romanian overcame the 15th seed and olympic champion 6—3, 6—3.
12:46 am
she will face karolina muchova, who is through to the quarters for the first time after victory over china's wang. the tenth seed started really strongly, only for the world number 53 to power back in the second, but she went on to take the third. it feels good. but, yeah, i don't want to stop here so i don't really put it in my head like it's something wow. i'm really proud of myself that i made it here, but still looking forward to go for the next round. in the men's draw, ben shelton�*s into the quarters of the us open the first time, beating fellow american tommy paul. the unseeded 20—year—old sealed a shock four set victory when the 14th seed paul went long with a forehand. world number 47 shelton goes through and becomes the youngest american man to reach the us open quarter—finals since andy roddick in 2002.
12:47 am
he is going to face another american in the quarters, frances tiafoe. to all the football on sunday. in the premier league, arsenal celebrated an injury time win over manchester united at the emirates stadium. it was 1—1 after 90 minutes, the gunners captain opener in the first half. but deep into stoppage time, declan rice scored his first for the club since his £100 million move from west ham. gabrieljesus added another, 3—1 the final score. i love the mentality, the determination the team shows to go and go, against any opponent. we want to go and we want to win and a draw is not enough. and again, we made hard life for ourselves again because we gave the first goal away, and against manchester united you are kaput. we done it again in the second half, it could have cost us a goal. butjust pride in the team for what they want to do all the time.
12:48 am
it can't be that this goal's given, especially not any more in that moment in the game... a clear foul. it can't be. and more mistakes. fouling rasmus hojlund in the box, not given. the penalty given and later rejected. and i think it's not offside. despite being linked with that huge lucrative move to the saudi arabian pro league, mohammed salah was one of the goalscorers for liverpool as they comfortably beat aston villa at anfield, continuing their impressive start to the premier league season. new summer signing dominik szoboszlai scored his first goal in english football. salah added the third after a matty cash own goal. first clean sheet of the season for alisson in goal. liverpool now two points behind the leaders manchester city. all the big hats of the past on the pitch... the milners, the hendersons,
12:49 am
the fabinhos. even virgil van dijk. you have to let them grow into the new roles and i saw a lot of top performances. a lot of desire and organisation, the willingness to to defend together. we had, ithink, more counter—attacks than in other games because of the way we defended in moments when we had to defend deep, we defended deep it all and that's how you should do it. one other game in the premier league, crystal palace beat wolves 3—2 at selhurst park. all the goals came in the second half. odsonne edouard gave palace the lead. hwang equalised with goals from eberechi eze and a second from edouard sealed the win for roy hodgson�*s side who move into the top half of the table. robert lewandowski scored a late penalty penalty to earn barcelona a hard fought 2—1 win at osasuna in la liga. barcelona took the lead
12:50 am
through kounde�*s header in the first half, and the hosts level with less than 15 minutes remaining before levandowski sealed the win from the spot. girona climbed to second after earned the catalan side a wonderful win against las palmas. atletico madrid's game against sevilla was postponed because of terrible rain in the spanish capital and mallorca and bilbao drew 0—0. marcus thuram and lautaro martinez were involved in all four goals in inter milan's thrashing of fiorentina. juve winners over empoli, danilo and federico chiesa, with the goals also wins for torino and lecce. the first old firm match of the season went celtic�*s way, beating rangers 1—0 at ibrox, furuhashi's brilliant goal, proving to be the difference. rangers players were booed off the pitch at full time, also wins for hibs and motherwell who are second. max verstappen has been an unstoppable force in formula one this season. the reigning world champion took the chequered flag at the italian grand prix
12:51 am
to move 145 points clear in the drivers standings. he also reached another milestone at monza. here's our sports correspondent. max, that is mighty ten races in a row. you're on your own right now. that's history. unbelievable. well done. in the history of formula one, no one has dominated a season quite like max verstappen. his ten wins in a row, breaking a record that has stood for nearly a decade. in the sunshine of monza and italy, home fans had dared to dream, their two ferrari sandwiched verstappen, giving him some competition from the start. carlos sainz led through the first laps, but with the faster car, verstappen could afford to be patient. the spaniard stubbornly held him off for over 1a laps, but then the inevitable happened and the two times champion never looked back. behind him, his teammate sergio perez fought for second place while a battle between the two ferraris was brewing for third.
12:52 am
and lewis hamilton survived a late scare and a 5—second penalty for causing it to finish sixth. but in what they call the temple of speed, verstappen had managed something altogether more pedestrian. for many, the race for the championship seems a procession. well, let's hearfrom verstappen now after that incredible 10th win in a row in his red bull. i'm very happy. something that you don't even think about trying to achieve because it's very unlikely, you know, that those kind of things happen. but very proud that it happened and in general, of course, very proud of what the team has done. and also today, again, i mean, the whole years so far has been pretty incredible, but also one to here at monza i think is pretty special. bangladesh bowlers shared eight wickets to beat afghanistan by 89 runs in the asia cup in lahore, miraz hit 119 off 112
12:53 am
for his highest odi score. shanto scored 104, bangladesh 334 for five. they bowled afghanistan out for 2115 with five overs to spare. well, new zealand beat england by 7a runs in the third t20 at edgbaston. new zealand set a huge target thanks to opener finn allen, who made 83 offjust 53. glenn phillips also got a half century, new zealand made 202 off their 20 overs. in reply, england lost early wickets were bowled out for just 128. england do lead the series two one with one more to play. a credit to new zealand. they outplayed us. they're a good toss to win and they put up a really challenging score, i think maybe a little bit over par. the partnership of finn allen and glenn phillips was one we just couldn't break, and that was the main part of the game. looking at the surface tonight, it looks like the sort of ones that you might need in the build up to the world cup. a bit of spin, a bit dry.
12:54 am
is that really vital for preparation? yeah, it's good exposure for us to play on those kind of wickets. obviously it's been a long summer, lots of cricket, so i expect those kind of pitches and yeah, it's a good challenge with the bat. now finally, some cycling news. germany's leonard kamna took stage nine at the vuelta espana, completing his set of stage wins at grand tours as the american sepp kuss retained the race leader's red jersey. the hilly 184 kilometre stage had the general classification timings taken two kilometres from the official finish after earlier rain, a lot of it about in spain. terrible trouble with the weather, a lot of mud on the route. kamna managed tojoin a breakaway group that was never seriously chased down by the peloton. and those weather issues left the general classification riders just happy to coast home unchallenged. lots more on the vuelta on the bbc sport website. the us open tennis in new york, that continues apace, reaching the business end of the tournament there at flushing meadows. it's all on the bbc sport website or your bbc sport app,
12:55 am
but for me, olly foster and the rest of the team here, that's it for sportsday. goodbye. hello. we have a very warm week of weather in prospect. in fact, it could turn out to be some of the warmest weather of the year so far. the highest temperature we recorded over the summer was all the way back injune at 32.2 celsius. this week, we are expected to get to 30 celsius, but some places could getjust a little bit warmer than that. certainly some very warm or even hot weather in the outlook with plenty of strong sunshine, butjust a little bit of mist and fog here and there, some to start monday morning, particularly across parts of southwest scotland, but a few patches elsewhere tending to lift and clear very quickly. and then we will see lots of sunshine.
12:56 am
a little bit breezy down towards the far southwest, the far north of scotland, but really only the western and northern isles seeing more cloud and a few splashes of rain. temperatures in eastern scotland up to 25, 26 degrees. parts of central and south eastern england could well get to 29. through monday night, it stays dry with clear skies. still, this weather front in the far north of scotland with a few splashes of rain and maybe the odd shower into the far south west of england by the end of the night. 16 there in plymouth to start tuesday morning. a very warm start, but a mild start elsewhere as well. for tuesday, this area of low pressure swirling to the south west of us mayjust introduce the odd shower across the south west of england, parts of wales, possibly northern ireland. our weather front in northern scotland will be weakening. elsewhere, lots more sunshine and plenty of warmth as well, although a slight shift in the wind direction will bring a slightly cooler day in the eastern side of scotland. 21 there for aberdeen. further south 27, possibly 28 degrees.
12:57 am
as we move into wednesday, this area of high pressure changes shape, shifts to the east of us and we start to bring the winds up from the south. so, another surge of very warm air. wednesday is the day when some places could get up to 30 celsius or possibly even a little bit higher than that. a few patches of mist and fog around some of the coasts. but elsewhere, it's a story of warmth and sunshine. and as we head towards the end of the week, we stick with the same theme. temperatures could still get close to 30 degrees on thursday. only very, very slowly will it turn more unsettled from the west.
