that they have conceded seven at home in any competition. a truly dreadful night for spurs. here's our football reporterjames gregg. a real classic thriller, that game. goals galore, nine goals to be precise, a 7—2 victory at the new totte n ha m precise, a 7—2 victory at the new tottenham hotspur stadium. the four goals in that second half. of course be used to play for arsenal, so the spurs fans won't be happy to see him celebrate four times in its second half. robert lewandowski with two goals in that second half, such a great performance from the german champion. there were questions before the game about tottenham's durability and their ability to compete. they got to the champions league final last year, they aren't european minnows, so a very humbling night for maurizio sarri pochettino. let's talk about real madrid, who got out ofjail, if you will. turmoil continues for that man, then it ends at 80, managing that, real

madrid had to scrap a draw. they we re madrid had to scrap a draw. they were 2—0, dennis told his brother he will get a tattoo if he scored in that game, so we will leave that up to him as to which statue he gets. two big errors from sergio ramos, and the equaliser later on after ramos himself had pulled it back for real madrid with a ba after sanctioned header in the second half. paris st germain, winning, and elsewhere juventus half. paris st germain, winning, and elsewherejuventus picked up a 3—0 victory. all in all, an excellent evening in champions league football. disappointed, the feeling of course is not so good and now is a moment

to become... i know i made a mistake, the most important now, it's important to stay calm. there is no use insulting, just talking, it's just the emotion on the skin. manchester city maintained their 100% record. with a 2—0 win over dinamo zagreb goals from raheem sterling and teenager phil foden. city top the group, while a win for atletico madrid means they're tied on four points withjuventus at the top of group d. noah lyles has won the world 200 metres title at the world athletics championships in doha on tuesday, capping a triple gold night for the usa. lyles was the headliner in the final event of the session. earlier in the day american donavan brazier won the men's 800m title with a championship record however

events on the track overshadowed somewhat, as our reporter ade adedoyin explains from doha. so the big story of the day wasn't what was happening on the track, but the decision by the us anti— doping agency to ban alberta salazar, the founding of the nikkei 0regon project, and there are two athletes from the group involved in the 800 metres final. donovan fraser, who won, was always in control. he accelerated for the last 50 metres to win his first global title. when i got with him trackside after the race he was getting to stress he never directly worked with salazar and wasn't trained by him. he did so with a limited interaction he had with a limited interaction he had with him and was a good guy and a good coach, and had sympathy for him. he also had to consider his future. to be honest, i don't know what is going to happen to the 0regon project. it might be disassembled, but i know nikkei

anti—doping rules, and will be banned from the sport for four years. the american coach who ran the prestigious nike oregon project, has been under investigation by officials in the united states since a bbc programme first revealed allegations against him, back in 2015. athletes have to have complete and total trust in their coaches, and if they don't the relationship will fray, and when a coach is accused of something, an athlete has to ask really detailed, tough questions. i was in a great coaching relationship with my father but if those questions were being asked of him i would have absolutely wanted to know what the background was if he was working with other athletes. and you have to assume that athletes do that if they are challenged in that way and they make judgements accordingly. finally, japan's victory over ireland last saturday was one of the biggest shocks in the history of the rugby world cup and it has given a boost to their already enthusiastic hosting

of the tournament. while the world athletics championships as we have seen, have struggled with empty seats, there has been no such problems at japanese venues as organisers compete with established sports to secure a lasting legacy. and as our sports correspondent katie gornall reports, the visiting fans are just as positive about the tournament as their hosts. they came here for the rugby... but there's world cup is shaping up to be special on and off the pitch. it's the first time the tournament has come to asia, and has been a cultural feast for the scotland and ireland fans, who told me about their experience in japan. the food has been great, the drinks have been good, people are super welcoming, it's one of the best tournaments i've ever been served. everyone is so i've ever been served. everyone is so polite! i like the way they take their children's of the games in the evening. it's very inclusive. 0ne

person walked a mile do so is the right way to go. i'm not sure how into it the japanese might be. right way to go. i'm not sure how into it the japanese might belj love into it the japanese might be.” love the karaoke at halftime. i think we should have that. and i love the fact that they were so many japanese supporters there, they are obviously really into it. local enthusiasm was there from the opening game, but then it is a whole new level as japan's stunning victory over ireland put them on course for the quarterfinals and brought there's traditionally reserved country to its feet. —— brought this. in the popularity sta kes, brought this. in the popularity stakes, baseball is in a league of its own. there is a real enthusiasm for sport here in japan, its own. there is a real enthusiasm for sport here injapan, you can file. and the whole reason the world cup came here was to try capture

that, to grow the game here in asia and persuade these fans that rugby isa and persuade these fans that rugby is a sport worthy of their attention. i sometimes watch rugby games, because it's become popular now. you like rugby? a little! i think baseball is the best injapan because baseball has a long history. do you think rugby could become as popular as baseball? there are i think baseball cannot be beaten. i believe that. baseball is always the best. japan has proved to be open to new ideas, baseball was imported from overseas, and i hope rugby is that it too can make a lasting impression. but now the sport is making a lasting impression. arigatou! thank you so much.

0n later on today, in seven hours, france will take on the usa in fukuoka. so i will be looking forward to that. you can get all the latest sports news at our website, that's bbc.com/sport. but from me, marc edwards, and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye. good morning. we've all had our fair share of rain, haven't we, just recently? in fact, tuesday, i'm sure you're now well aware of the flooding rains that we had through the isle of man and the north of england. but they have gradually drifted their way south and east over the last few hours and we are seeing a slow improvement. so the sharp, thundery downpours easing as well in the south—east, and they will continue to clear. so by dawn, temperatures are going to be the talking point, not the rain. and in fact, with the northerly wind kicking in, the temperatures falling away quite sharply, so we are going to be greeted with some blue tones on our chart, temperate as close to freezing in places.
1:56 am
so yes, there could be a touch of frost first thing this morning, and certainly it's going to be chilly start in comparison to of late. so we start off, yes, on that chilly note, but it will be a dry one with some lovely spells of sunshine coming through and probably the best day in terms of drier, sunnier weather through wednesday. now a northerly wind could drive in a few sharp showers up into the far north of scotland and at the same time, down to the south—west, we could pick up a bit more fair weather cloud. and those temperatures really struggling after that chilly start, 11—15 degrees the high, down on where they should be for the early half of october. so wednesday, a cool day. some blue tones denoting that, but if we look out into the atlantic, around this circulation here, the warmer air sits, the winds coming from more of a southerly direction. and within this significant area of low pressure is a lot of tropical moisture, so a little more warmth is set to return. you are probably aware this has the remnants of ex—hurricane lorenzo in it, and it's this low that's

going to track to the west of ireland and it will bring some wet weather and some pretty rough seas and high tides. that moves across ireland, into northern ireland and ahead of it, we'll see the cloud thickening and the winds strengthening to gale force gusts. but further east there should be a little more in the way of brighter weather, there'll be more sunshine coming through from time to time. and temperatures, similar values on thursday to wednesday, we're looking at highs of 11—16 degrees. but it's when this low pressure, which is going to track its way steadily eastwards and south during that thursday into friday, which will introduce slightly milder air, but it will bring a spell of wet and windy weather before that system slowly starts to ease as it pushes south. take care.
