now on bbc news, sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm olly foster. europe continue their reign in spain. a thrilling tie against the usa sees them keep hold of the solheim cup. these girls, they play with their heart and soul and i couldn't be more proud, so what a come back and what a sunday. scotland have claimed a bonus point to keep their rugby world cup quarter—final dreams alive. wales fans are one win away from the last eight. will their fans be singing after the match against australia? also coming up on sportsday...

honors even in the first north london derby of the season son strikes twice for spurs. and max verstappen bounces back injapan as red bull seal the formula one constructors�* title. europe have retained the solheim cup after a thrilling finale in andalusia. it was 8—8 against the usa heading into the final day and nothing could separate them in the singles either. home favourite carlotta ciganda the heroine turning her match around against nelly korda for the crucial point. it finished 14—14, the first tie in the history of the event, and as holders, europe keep hold

of the trophy. jane dougall reports from the finca cortesin course. starting the day with a tied score, both sets of fans thought they had it in the bag. the heat was on. and some succumbed early on. but remember, a home soil cup means the fans are on your side. europe need a minimum of six points from today's singles. they have had momentum, they have had support but do they have the players to get those six wins? leona maguire delivered. the irishwoman put europe ahead. but then the scoreboard began to turn red. america collecting point after point.

could caroline headwall rescue europe? the fightback was on. they needed one more point. who else but spaniard carlota ciganda, her captain by her side? it came down to this put in front of her home crowd. so after an incredible weekend of drama, doubts, tension and emotion, europe retain the solheim cup. jane dougall, bbc news, andalusia. we will hopefully get to jane at the course and hear from some of the triumphant european team as well. scotland are effectively playing knockout rugby at the world cup,

they needed a bonus point win with at least four tries against tonga in nice to make sure they keep their slim hopes alive of getting out of their pool. despite an early scare it was mission accomplished. they won 45—17. adam cottier reports. in the fortnight since the defeat by south africa, as a result had seen scotland's quarter finals hopes would you suggest a dilemma. against tonga, they need a win and a bonus point to keep those aspirations alive and they made a bright start with george turner setting them on their way to their targets. the early part of this match, tonga appeared stubborn producing some fine rugby. that's where the challenge of the pacific island nation ended. scotla nd scotland still underline their

control for a 24—10 half—time lead. cut scotland's lead to seven. six scotland try. 45—17 win. scotland must now beat remaining with a bonus point next weekend to give them a chance of progression when they face the tournament favourites ireland, a team they haven't beat for six years in their final pool b game. wales will qualify for the quarterfinals with a game to spare if they beat the two—time champions australia. it's an eight o'clock start in lyon later. the wallabies are in precarious position in the pool following their defeat to fiji. our correspondent andy swiss is at this match.

welcome to lyon, whether well fans will arrive. welcome to lyon where wales fans arrive. the equation is relatively simple. if wales win, they are through to the knockout stages. if they lose, everything is up in the air. bonus points are crucial in a script even if wales do lose, a bonus point or two would be very handy. wales played really well in their opening match against fiji, not so well in the next game against portugal. perhaps not surprisingly, they have reverted to the team that beat fiji. wales have a very good record in recent world cups ever reaching the knockout stage. they have reached knockout stage at the last three tournaments so they are hoping to make it four in a row and when you bear in mind the doom and gloom that surrounded welsh rugbyjust a few months ago, that would be no mean feat. their coach says he is proud of what his team have done so far.

we are all happy, we want to put some pride back in the welsh jersey. it doesn't take long to lose it and i don't think that we have had the respect of the rugby world in terms of performance and results and that has been a big objective of ours over the last few months. it is a big night for wales but for australia, the stakes are even higher after their defeat to fiji last weekend. what that means is that if they lose tonight to wales, they are effectively out of the tournament. that will be the first time in world cup history that australia would have failed to reach the knockout stage. their coach is under huge pressure. eddiejones, formerly the coach of the england team. he has come in for huge criticism for his team selection. he has left behind quite a lot of experienced players in australia.

he was in a typically spiky mood in the press conference earlier this week. he says he has no doubt that australia will win this match but if they don't win this match, you can imagine there will be a lot of soul searching and eddiejones says he is sorry the results haven't been better. i don't think i've 100% done the best thing for australia and i apologise to the results. i could get down on my knees and do the japanese thing if you want me to. i can't apologise any more, guys. i'm really sorry we haven't had better results but what i know is what we are doing is right for australia. tough times for eddiejones and for australia. they have made three changes to the team that lost to fiji but perhaps the most important change is a position one. ben donaldson who has played at full—back in their opening two matches, he will now play at fly half instead of the injured carter gordon. and australia are hoping

they will get there when they need to keep their world cup hopes alive. that match in lyon is starting in about 20 minutes or so. let's get to the day's premier league matches. an astonishing win for newcastle coming up but we'll start with the first north london derby of the season ended 2—2 at the emirates stadium. arsenal took the lead twice, but tottenham captain son heung—min pulled his team back into it on both occasions. here's our sports correspondent natalie pirks. when it comes to the north london derby, history favours the arsenal. 13 years had passed since tottenham last won here in the league and the gunners fancied continuing that trend. a big slice of luck will make that leg, helping them off the mark. but whenjames madison left his england team—mate saka for dust, son heung—min was a willing recipient. this point blank hand ball judged to be a penalty. arsenal's lead lasted a mere second.

this pulsating encounter finishing honours even at the emirates. natalie pirks, bbc news. it's going to be a big part of who we are as a team, having the mentality to have no time to feel sorry for us, we have got to react and we showed that last week. three out of four away games where we we have had to come from behind. if we stick to our principles, be really aggressive. we can get back to any game. today, we have that regret and especially that we lack some, to have more passes.

we want to attack too quick, too early. against these teams, we have to be more ruthless. with arsenal and spurs dropping points, liverpool are up to second in the table. they beat west ham 3—1 at anfield. mo salah gave liverpool the lead against the run of play with a penalty after he was fouled. jarrod bowen levelled for west ham with an excellent stooping header. that was as good as it got for the hammers though as darwin nunez scored a fine volley and diogojota tapped in late on as liverpool extended their unbeaten run to 18 games. today was a really mature performance and that is super important because you can be exciting but you need to be really composed, resilient, you need to be solid in moments and i saw all that. after their midweek defeat in the europa league,

brighton responded by beating bournemouth 3—1. kaoru mitoma came off the bench and scored twice. they are up to third and are now the premier league's top scorers with 18 goals from their six matches, two more than leaders manchester city. we are very happy because we showed big character, a big passion, big behaviour. we wanted the victory giving our best. it's important because we can't win every game playing great football. chelsea's poor start to the season continues, losing 1—0 at home to aston villa. 0llie watkins scored the only goal of the game with chelsea down to io—men in the second half after malo gusto�*s sending off. villa are up to 6th while the blues remain 14th. it is disappointing because again, villa were the better side

it is disappointing because again, we were the better side until the red card, we deserve more. it's disappointing, again. i think the team gave everything. and at the moment, so far, we need to keep working. before sheffield united and newcastle's match, tributes were paid to united women's midfielder maddy cusack who died on wednesday at the age of 27. she was the longest serving player in the blades women's side and reached 100 appearances for the team last season. a wreath was laid on the centre spot at bramall lane and the crowd paid their respects, remembering maddy with a sustained round of applause. as for the match itself, newcastle won 8—8,

sean longstaff fired newcastle ahead after 20 minutes. dan burn then added another before sven botman made it 3—0 inside 35 minutes. newcastle didn't ease off, callum wilson score his side's fourth. more goals then followed from anthony gordon and miguel almiron before bruno guimaraes scored the seventh. there was still time for another as alexander isak making it 8—8, equalling their biggest win in the prmier league, they also beat sheffeild wednesday 8—8 in 1999. it's about accumulating the points. we are under no illusions what our task is this season. i think what we have to be careful of is whilst there are huge things we need to learn from and things we can't

accept if we want to compete, we also have to keep a calm head about this sort of game. as long as we are really clear on what happened, and what can't happen again, because if it does, those are the result that can happen. that's the level of competition we are in now. rangers havejumped about motherwell into third in the scottish premiership after beating them 1—0 at ibrox. rabbi matondo scored the heavily deflected winner. aberdeen have their first win of the season, 4—0 at home to ross county but they are still one off the bottom of the table. let's have a quick look at some of the other headlines. british number one cameron norrie has been knocked out of the quarterfinals of the zhuhai championships in china. norrie lost in straight sets to the russian aslan karatsev. despite leading for much of the final round of the french open, england'sjordan smith eventually had to settle for a share of second place. smith finished on 12 under par, 2 shots behind the winner ryo hisatsune of japan. centuries from shubman gill

and shreyas iyer helped india to a 99 run victory over australia in the second one day international in indore. india have an unassailable 2—0 lead in the three match series. francesco bagnaia's lead in the moto gp riders' championship has been cut to 13 points after he crashed out of the inaugral indian grand prix. pole sitter marco bezzecchi won the race, with championship contenderjorge martin finishing second. max verstappen was back on top of the podium in japan earlier today. that means red bull have won the constructors championship and the driver's title could follow as early as the next race in a fortnight. ben croucher reports. to do it, you have to stay out of trouble far easier at the front then

behind the japanese grand prix. it was a corner for confusion and a clash of carbon fibre. it didn't help sergio perez either, forced to retire with damage. 0ut front, his team—mate verstappen was making serene progress, securing the constructors title for his red bull team. as for most of the season, the real battle was who would join him in the top three. lando norris had second sewn up. the top step and that silverware, the domain of the man lighting up the championship. verstappen is now likely to win his third drivers title in a row at the next race in qatar — he could even do it in the sprintrace in doha, but that constructors championship is already sealed for red bull after his win injapan. a very proud moment for everyone.

here at the track, back at the factory. this season, it is incredible. i think everyone can be very proud of that and i think we will, even in a few years' time, you look back at it and it will probably bring a smile to your face again just to remember what you have achieved as a team. but apart from singapore, we have been dominant and that is exactly what you want to try and achieve as a team all the time. ethiopia's tigist assefa has shattered the women's marathon world record by more than two minutes with a stunning victory in berlin. the 29—year—old, who also won the race last year, clocked two hours 11 minutes 53 seconds in the german capital to eclipse the mark set by kenya's brigid kosgei at the 2019 chicago marathon. she took home $50,000 for winning the race and a 50,000 bonus for breaking the record.

eliud kipchoge won the men's race for the fifth time but couldn't break his own world record. the kenyan�*s time of 2 hours, 2 minutes, and 42 seconds was more than a minute and a half off the record he set in berlin last year. beth potter has become the fifth different british woman in 12 years to become triathlon world champion after winning the season ending race in spain. potter came into the event in pontevedra second in the standings. she needed to finish ahead of series leader cassandre beaugrand of france to claim the title. she did just that, winning by 18 seconds ahead of fellow briton kate waff who earned her first triathlon series podium. beaugrand finished third. i wasn't actually feeling so good today and so i had to work a bit great britain have had their most successful canoe slalom world championships after increasing their gold medal tally today. kimberley woods took gold in the kayak cross which will make its debut

at next summer's 0lympics. woods, who had missed out on a place in the women's kayak final on saturday, secured her first individual world title in impressive fashion at the the lee valley sports centre. great britain finished with five golds, two silvers and one bronze medal at lee valley's white water centre, the crowd, you guys are amazing. and just the heartbreak after yesterday's kayak, i was so broken, ijust wanted to compose myself for this. i was absolutely thrilled. and what a weekend it's been for britain'sjoe clarke. 2a hours after becoming the k1 kayak world champion he's added the kayak cross title. the gold medallist from rio 2016 controversially missed out on qualification for the tokyo games, the team will be selected later this year for paris.

joejoyce insists he has no intention of bringing his boxing career to an end. he lost his heavyweight rematch against zhilei zhang at london's copperbox arena after being knocked out in the third round. it was joyce's second consecutive loss to zhang by stoppage and he concedes he should have been better prepared. maybe just an easier fight and just bide my time until i get my shot, that might have been better. but no risk, no reward and if i had beat him, that would have been great but i didn't. i'm feeling good, i'm feeling ok, it's not the end of the world. i can rebuild and come back. credit to zhang, he's a top fighter, he's a good fighter. i will have to take a different route to get back in line for the title. no chance of walking away.

you can't always win. there's plenty of learning to do. he's a tough fighter, i could have gone another route but these things happen and i paid the price but i can rebuild and come back, go a different route and get back into the title contention. a reminder of our top story. europe have retained the solheim cup. it finished 14—14 in spain, the first tie in the history of the event, and as holders, europe keep hold of the trophy. let's get some reaction for you now — starting with the team europe captain. it comes down to one match, one part. for it to come down to carlota ciganda. it's meant to be. it is

of scotland as well, where overnight we could be looking at gusts of 60 to 70 odd miles an hourfor the hebrides and the highlands. the heavy rain bringing a risk of some localised flooding as well. further southwards, that band of rain crosses wales and england. by the time it reaches eastern areas, not really a great deal left on it. it's going to be a mild night, gusty south—westerly winds, ensuring that. temperatures around 12 to 15 degrees. now tomorrow, a much brighter day overall with a lot more in the way of sunshine to go around. it's not entirely dry, though, there will be some showers. particularly for scotland, a few for northern ireland and the north of both northern england and north wales as well. the midlands, east anglia, southern counties of england should stay dry with their sunshine and these temperatures continue to be above average for the time of year — 17 to 22 for many of us. now entering into tuesday, it's another unsettled day. a couple of weather systems kind of combined to gang up on us here in the uk bringing, i think, outbreaks of rain for many of us. so rain at times probably best sums up the weather, the wettest weather in the morning across western areas. but by the time we get

through the afternoon, rain will become pretty widespread with potentially some of it turning thundery. probably turning a bit brighter in northern ireland with the main rain band clearing through, but there'll still be a risk of some showers here. temperatures not changing too much — highs for many between 16 and 22 degrees. now for the middle part of the week, we're looking at a deep area of low pressure. this is going to be bringing widespread heavy outbreaks of rain, but some very strong winds as well. inland gusts are expected to reach around 50 to 60 miles an hour, but stronger gusts likely around some of our irish sea coast where we could see gusts of between 65 and even 80 miles an hour. so potentially damaging disruptive gusts of wind with us. with this area of low pressure on wednesday, we're quite likely to see some disruption then towards the middle part of the week. that's today's weather. bye for now.
