the headlines this evening. backed by the board and saved by sanchez, mourinho keeps fighting at manchester united. as they beat brazil. hamilton praises his team after taking poll position at the japanese grand prix. and leicester tigers score two tries in two minutes to beat northampton saints at twickenham. hello and welcome to sportsday. manchester united have performed a great comeback at old trafford tonight. 2—0 down to newcastle inside the first half jose mourinho's team fought back to win 3—2 earlier there'd been jose mourinho's team fought back to win 3—2. earlier there'd been plenty of speculation that mourinho might

have been sacked today. perhaps this spirited display will change things for the club and the manager. joe lynskey has the story. at manchester that build success on quality. the crisis impossible to north. the focus is onjose mourinho. master of deflection tactics. but with job on the line. in football one match one moment can settle things but it was newcastle who brought the early agency. this first strike started the blame game. they followed up with one shot from the japanese international cutting into old trafford. a frantic enough start for desperation to come early and jose mourinho asking what more he could do. at half—time the manager seem decks —— best —— destined for the exit door. but there was a second—half break through. the

momentum was at running and five minutes later, they had a quick fire double of their own. anthony marshall, really. it took united 70 minutes to start but 20 minutes of winning. alexis sanchez whose form like his team has undefined. this may be one match for one win but for this team and manager they hope that the loyalty is rewarded. breathtaking stuff and we wait too to see what this thick gold world of football will make of that at old trafford. tottenham made hard work of bottom side cardiff. but came out 1—0 winners. spurs boss mauricio pochetino getting the hugs but they should have been tanking this man — eric dier, he got the only goal of the game. cardiff bottom. spurs are third. and cardiff and neil warnock still without a win this season. not helped today — in his view — by a controversial red card.

i don't think the ref was going to give it. i think there were too many busy people around the referee today. i think they change his mind. i don't think it was violent conduct. he didn't even caught his studs. when i look at danny rose during attack on our guy before half—time, that was ten times worse than what joe was half—time, that was ten times worse than whatjoe was doing. they took him outand than whatjoe was doing. they took him out and you had to get on with her. i was proud with the lead sector that. they kept it out and they cat disciplined and i can't be more please. watford were loving life in the premier league but not today. hammered at home 4—0 by bournemouth. eddie howe's side were 3—0 up at half—time. watford were down to io—men by then. joshua king got two—goals, david brooks and callum wilson one each. watford eighth. bournemouth fifth now. so how about that mr howe?

i don't think it was a proper performance. i had to be please with the result. but we still have room to improve. that is a good sign. i think watford are a good team. they made it difficult for us. but we we re very made it difficult for us. but we were very professional, please with the clean sheet. let's take a look at the day's results then. huddersfield are still looking for a first league win of this season after a 1—1 draw with burnely. wolves are now unbeaten in six league games after a 1—0 win over cystal palace — palace are yet to score at home strike in evrton‘s 2—1 victory over leicester city who were down to ten men when wes morgan was sent off for the second time in three league games. manchester united the comeback of the day. stunning stuff at old trafford. top of the table then. manchester united should be there up to eighth. that is incorrect. i

should tell you that manchester united are up to eighth. that result just came in. most teams in action later on sunday. manchester city and liverpool at the big game. arsenal pointer and chelsea as well. bottom of the table. newcastle united were hoping tojump out of the relegation zone but they are still firmly in it. cardiff still looking for their first win of the season as well. manchester united no longer in the bottom half of the table. in the scottish premiership, aberdeen have been struggling to find the net this season but they managed four against st mirren. bottom of the table dundee were beaten 2—1 by kilmarnock. hibs thrashed hamilton 6—0 and are just two points behind leaders, hearts. and there was a 1—1 draw between motherwell and livingston. a sensational weight and to the day, karthi. it really was exciting. also exciting in nottingham. england's women are preparing for next year's world cup with warm up games against what manager phil neville hopes, are tough tests against strong opposition.

this afternoon they beat brazil i—0 thanks to a fran kirby goal. jo currie reports from meadow lane. come on england! ingrid and brazil match always attract the fans. but today there was only one player on everybody‘s lips. today there was only one player on everybody's lips. marta is a massive player for them isn't she. everybody's lips. marta is a massive playerfor them isn't she. whenever you talk about the brazilian side, herface is you talk about the brazilian side, her face is always there in front of it. she has something else that no one else is god. the brazilian is the six time fifa world cup layer of the six time fifa world cup layer of the year. but england made it quickly about them. this was a perfect start. the key to paris opening her reign of terror down the right to find fran kirby. england pots are number ten outshining her brazilian counterpart. lucy bronze showed that rewards me nothing on the pitch as england's defence proved strong. five minutes later and marta's game is over before

really got started succumbing to a suspected hamstring injury. they dominated the first half. she came close to doubling the lead firing offa close to doubling the lead firing off a shot that perhaps she should have passed. frustration for england who should have been further ahead at the break. in the second half brazil were almost gifted an equaliser. she pounced on alex greenwood posta pass before the goal—tender rescue the situation. in the newly ended with a first. rachel daley‘s instinctive shot tested them. but the lionesses had to settle for a 1—0 win. the score may not reflect the dominance but went like this against one of the world's top teams just eight months after the world cup, will be seen as a solid start to their preparation. hgppy solid start to their preparation. happy to have won the game. disappointed that we only had one goal. i think that's a big need work on but that's what these are for. the fact that we have beaten brazil is fantastic and the fact we are disappointed that we haven't scored more goals is a good thing. marta

came, england conquered. next up is australia on tuesday night. it was a fantastic atmosphere because my family were watching the game. also coming up in the programme we'll be live in vegas ahead of connor mcgregor‘s much anticipated ufc return to the 0ctagon this weekend. and the third edition of the summer youth 0lympics opens in buenos aires in argentina later this evening. team gb has 43 athletes in argentina. lewis hamilton will start on pole position for tomorrow's japanese grand prix. hamilton's main rival sebastian vettel will start in ninth place after a tyre mix up. while valterri bottas and max verstappen will start in second and third respectively. after qualifying, our reporter jennie gow headed for sushi, where she sent us this report. as you can see we

right and for the 80th time in his career, hamilton was in a class of one at the front. club by team—mate valerie brought us. he slipped and slid his way to the top ten. —— valerie —— valtteri bottas. could be another day that went hamilton's way. sebastian vettel do not want to blame the team. he said it was just one of those things that happened. he would not take responsible himself either. another very costly mistake for ferrari and their team principal just really lambasting the pit and saying it was their fault for not applying common sense. hamilton on the flip side was extremely happy. it is so difficult out there to make the right call. i think that is another big difference. we as a team have made this year. every team has smart people. but ultimately when it comes to being under pressure making the right decisions and calls, that is why we are the best team in the

world. sebastian vettel with a lot of work to do whilst hamilton should find this notably plain sailing because the forecast for the race is fair. let's see what happens and if lewis hamilton can get one more step closer to that title. rugby union's premiership and leicester beat northampson saints 23 points to 15 at twickenham this afternoon. the game had been moved frm franklin's gardens in order to raise money for northampton‘s rob horne. patrick gearey reports on an emotional day at twickehnm. rob horn is proof of modern rugby's risk. he went for a tackle and paralysed arm. this match raising money for him and his family. his northampton would have to forget or else they would never throw themselves in there. the only way to play

girls, and it is fantastic for us all in the days of exposure. it is huge for women's rugby and women podcast support. i anticipate the standard of the league massively. that's the real catalyst for us as a squad. at this particular point and going forward. with the quality that goes up, but the quality and squad and players should translate into him performances. here are some other stories to bring you up to date on sportsday. tai woffinden‘s hopes of becoming the first british rider to win three speedway grand prix world titles is hanging in the balance. he crashed heavily in his third heat at the final round of the season in poland. remarkably he was able to walk away, but couldn't take part remarkably he was able to walk away. in the restart and lost points to his nearest rival, bartoz smarzlick. championship leader marc marquez recovered from this crash in final

david argyle, who says they're ready tojoin the big boys. very excited this is a wonderful moment for the toronto wolfpack, london broncos and all of rugby to be playing the million pound game here. it is wonderful. your only two years old as a club. and now you are on the cusp is super league. are you surprised at how fast you got here? we have had great support for our players and coaches on the field. and importantly our front office has delivered the infrastructure for our team to do as well. so we are surprised, it was a five—year plan... it's nice to get there earlier. mind you we want the rugby gods to smile on us on sunday because they are the ones, and of course the effort of our team, will determine whether we will achieve the goal. the logistics of how it works, what happens when you get

into super league next year? because clubs have to fly there to play games, you have to fight here. how will that all work? eu will have to fly here. what you just said to us is just having a successful result on sunday, the super league will draw up a schedule and we will play obviously in some blocks of home games and some blocks of away games yet to be determined. and of course the beginning of the season because of the weather here, we will be playing some home games in hopefully other cities in europe. which will be exciting for the growth of the game and the awareness of the game in other places. england's second warm up match for the one day international series against sri lanka was abandoned without a ball being bowled. heavy rain in colombo meant play wasn't possible against a sri lanka cricket 11. the five—match series gets under way on wednesday in dambulla. yesterday the tourists won a weather affected first warm—up game by 43 runs. it saw them face ambidextrous bowler

kamindu mendis, something england won't try to emulate. you can't teach an old dog new tricks, can you? but i don't think i would try. it's special to watch that to be honest. it is a serious skill. we were talking about in the dressing room the fact that at first we did not notice that he had done it and then you obviously realise that. that's pretty special. if that can be seen more in the future, then it would be specialfor the game. conor mcgregor and khabib nurmagomedov meet in a ufc lightweight title fight in las vegas in the early hours. the bbc‘s oj borg is there for us, just a moment ago i asked him if this fight was captivating the local audience. we asked an american journalist where this rent in american sporting

life this week and he said this was the biggest thing going on. this event has come through, notjust an mma fight, it is a mass event and they reckon it will do well. if you believe the hype, it could be up to four million pay per views. this is vegas, this is a fight town. if you speak to people outside of it if you are the right age and demographic this isjust massive, the biggest mma fight in history. and if you're not the right age or demographic, you may call it pantomime. with all the controversy that has surrounded him recently, is there any kickback against it in the united states right now? not that i've seen and it is pantomime. but this is fight sports, it's about real as we guess they have a legitimate beef with each other. but all they have done, it's come from mcgregor‘s side. they have hyped the fight to the point where it is at fever pitch and it has just been on believable.

yeah people may have been put off by things that happen said. but the way that mcgregor‘s has gone after khabib and the way that khabib has not been phased at all by it. so everyone here in vegas is irish it seem and for mcgregor. yes it was pantomime. but it is a big fight that you need to hype. connor mcgregor looks in fantastic shape and that we have those unsavoury scenes at the weigh—in as well. who wins this one and whoever wins, what happens to them next? what happens next is both make more money because there will be some sort of rematch. who wins this, if you go with the las vegas odds, khabib is a massive favourite. he has ever lost and is the undisputed and undefeated lightweight champion of the ufc. khabib is the most dangerous fighter pound for pound at the moment. realistically what he is good at is wrestling is what mcgregor is bad at. but mcgregor has magic and is gone inside otherfighter‘s heads before. he has more punch power in his left hand. if you want to go by the form book,

then khabib wins all day long. but mcgregor has magic. the third edition of the summer youth olympics get under way in buenos aires tongiuht and the bmx rider, ross cullen, will be great britain's flag—bearer at the opening ceremony which starts in about 10 minutes. the two—time world junior champion was chosen for the honour by his 43 team mates, who are all hoping to follow in the footsteps of jade jones and tom daley who went on from junior champions to claim senior olympic medals. bbc sport's nick hope is in argentina. buenos aires, a breathtaking city. steeped in history and tradition of tango, steak and football. but for the next 12 days, the city is embracing the new for the third edition of the summer youth olympics. the first edition of the event in 2010 launched jadejones' career. as she followed up her success

in singapore with senior golds at london 2012 and rio 2016. now 15—year—old aaliyah powell hopes to follow in her footsteps and those of her world champion team—mate. it's strange because when i was younger i saw them on tv and then you turn around and you're sitting next them in the gym. i look up to them and hopefully i can come back with a medal. powell is one of 43 team gb athletes to compete here. but the youth olympics are more than just chasing medals. they are also an opportunity to try new sport. in the next 12 days, we will be given a glimpse at what future olympics could look like. break dancing, roller speed skating, even futsal could all be future editions of future games. we will monitor the performance of these new disciplines and sports. then when it comes to the programmes for paris 2024, the results of this youth games will play
