6:33 pm
george so excited? evening, lots coming up on sportsday — a close look at all today's football in a moment, but we'll start injapan where england have made it through to the rugby world cup quarterfinals with a game to spare. they scored six tries against argentina, 39—10 the final score in tokyo. the puma's played most of the game with 1a men after a dangerous tackle on the captain owen farrell who was lucky to avoid concussion. our sports correspodnent andy swiss was at the match. # swing low, sweet chariot. confident, just a little but surely this would be england's toughest test? argentina is always on a sport's spices rivalries and the pumas were playing for world cup survival so even though jonny
6:34 pm
pumas were playing for world cup survival so even thoughjonny may's try edged england into an early lead, it was tense. in a split second, a change. tomas lavanini with a sickening challenge on owen farrell, who was thankfully unhurt. but it was high, dangerous and a red card. from that moment, there was no way back for argentina as england set about running them ragged. elliot daly helping them to a 15—3 lead at the break and after, they stretched out of sight. once george ford had gone over, it was effectively game over. england were not at their slickest, but jack mills was on his comeback from injury, perhaps the pick of inge's six tries. not quite a knockout performance, but they are through to the knockout stage. it is qualification for the quarterfinals but the emphasis is getting better each game. that was a tough goal today and a lot of regards. job done for england in ultimately emphatic
6:35 pm
style. they will face france in the final group game next weekend with a place in the quarterfinals already guaranteed. andy swiss, bbc news, tokyo. well as we saw owen farrell was on the receiving end of an illegal high tackle, for the second time at this world cup, but the england captain said he didn't need a head injury assessment. i feel fine. it is obviously concussion, that is the worry but i didn't really get hit anywhere near the top of the head. so yeah, maybe your jaw gets a the top of the head. so yeah, maybe yourjaw gets a bit sore, but i was fine. there is no need for a head check. if england win their final group game against france, australia would be their most likely opponents in the last eight, while defeat could mean a quarterfinal against wales. the wallabies beat uruguay 45—10. jordan pettaia, the youngest player to start for australia in a world cup, crossed over for their second try. tevita kuridrani scored two tries, this his second, a lovely break.
6:36 pm
dane haylett—petty also got two. that was australia's final score, they crossed for seven tries in total and will qualify, if wales beat fiji next week. but their head coach michael cheika feels it's taking them too long to settle into their games. the one thing we need to be mindful ofi the one thing we need to be mindful of i think, is we haven't started games well, i don't think. so not that we haven't played well, we sort of just that we haven't played well, we sort ofjust being a little bit less consisting in the first 20 or 30 minutes, 20 minutes i would say, that part of the game and it get you off on the wrong foot so it is something we need to address. get going in games a bit faster. qualification for a first world cup quarterfinal is still injapan‘s own hands after a bonus—point victory over samoa. 38—19 the final score. theirfinal pool game against scotland a week tomorrow
6:37 pm
looks like it will be winner takes all. connor mcnamara watched the brave blossoms match in tokyo today. the celebrations are going to continue long into the night in toyota city is japan celebrate making it three wins out of three of this rugby world cup. they secured the bonus point in the 38 points to 19 victory against samoa. it was the manner how they got the bonus point that sums up the daredevil nature of this japanese team. the clock went right at the end and samoa could have kicked it out and the game would have been over. they opted for the scrum and the japanese pack managed to turn it over again so much loaded samoan front eight and a score in the corner. bright smiles from a team brimming in confidence and with three wins out of three, no other nation at this world cup would wa nt to other nation at this world cup would want to play japan. other nation at this world cup would want to playjapan. it other nation at this world cup would want to play japan. it is scotland to play them next weekend, the last game of the pool stages. japan are
6:38 pm
not yet sure of going through to the quarterfinals. four years ago in 2015 they won through the pool games but didn't go through. there is a wave of momentum 110w but didn't go through. there is a wave of momentum now behind this tea m wave of momentum now behind this team and this win will be all over the front and back pages of the newspapers in japan tomorrow the front and back pages of the newspapers injapan tomorrow as the japanese public may be begin to realise this world cup adventure is only just realise this world cup adventure is onlyjust beginning for their team. you are right up to date with all the rugby. now, let's take you through today's football. the lunchtime kick—off was at brighton and tottenham's patchy season continues — they lost 3—0. mauricio pochettino said his players may have been affected by a serious injury to their keeper hugo lloris. the frenchman was taken to hospital early in the game with an arm injury, but this defeat follows their 7—2 thrashing by bayern munich earlier in the week. michael redford reports. from a nightmare in north london to the seaside on the south coast, totte n ha m the seaside on the south coast, tottenham at brighton, aiming to forget all about the humiliating champions league defeat in midweek. a solid start at the amex would help
6:39 pm
settle a ny tottenha m a solid start at the amex would help settle any tottenham nurse. that hope was gone after three minutes. the easiest goal of the season while hugo luis's attempt to keep it out resulted in a nasty arm injury. the goalkeeper was given oxygen in a six minute delay but couldn't continue. his manager had more problems. aaron connko his manager had more problems. aaron connolly making it 2—0. he wasn't finished there. clever, confident, clinical. two for the teenager and brighton were rampant. in need of a goal, tottenham can normally rely on a clinical striker of their own. not today, harry kane. 3—0 finished and tottenham's problems get worse but for brighton it is a first league win since the opening day and the first win against tottenham since 1983. let's hear from the spurs boss now, he says that injury to lloris, a suspected dislocated elbow, changed the game but he insists everyone that everyone at the club must stay together.
6:40 pm
the game was tough. it was very difficult to control and manage the game. after three minutes, only what we can say is thank you to the fans for their effort to come here. i know how they feel, they are disappointed like the players, like the stuff, like everyone. a few months ago, we were on the top and 110w months ago, we were on the top and now we need to stay together and try to find the solution. we love the clu b to find the solution. we love the club and we need to keep going. anger at anfield, six goals at carrow road and another loss for everton. it's been a busy day in the premier league — with all the results, here's joe lynskey at the touchscreen. four years ago almost to the day, liverpool sacked this man brendan rodgers and replaced him withjurgen klopp. he returned to anfield today as manager of leicester city — a side themselves trying to muscle in on the top four this season, and who could've gone second with a win here today. this was a thrilling match
6:41 pm
with a dramatic conclusion... but leicester were undone by a liverpool winner in stoppage time. that 2—1 scoreline means its eight wins in a row to start the season forjurgen klopp‘s side. sadio mane put them in front in the first half, but leicester looked like they'd stolen a point whenjames maddison equalised with ten minutes to go. in the 92nd minutethough there was enough contact in this challenge on sadio mane for the referee to award a penalty — that was checked and upheld by var and james milner stepped up to score what could be a crucial winner for liverpool. that frantic finish boiled over into a brawl at full time — there may be fall out from this scuffle in the week — but for now, jurgen klopp can enjoy an eight point cushion at the top of the table.
6:42 pm
what a start in the season! people will tell us, you can do better, but thatis will tell us, you can do better, but that is clear. we did a lot of good things and winning again against a side like leicester and you will see during the season, leicester have caused a lot of teams massive problems and i expect them really in the top four. good. we we re always we were always in the game and to come away and play with that personality shows the development in the team. write to the very end, i felt maybe we were the team he was then may be going to go on and get then may be going to go on and get the winning goal. but unfortunately, the winning goal. but unfortunately, the penaltyjust at the end takes that away from us. i am not sure it was a clear and obvious penalty but liverpool got it and we have to acce pt liverpool got it and we have to accept that. a brilliant result
6:43 pm
today for aston villa — playing away at a fellow newly promoted side norwich. you can see they've completely dismantled them at carrow road today to earn their first away win of the season. this could prove a huge afternoon for them and their striker wesley — two goals in the first half for the brazilian who's leading the line for villa this season. he missed a penalty as well that could've been a hat—trick, but it didn't matter in the end, villa made it 3—0 through jack grealish — it's his first goal in the top flight since september 2015. another man who could be a man knocking on the england squad door soon. conor hourihane and douglas luiz both added brilliant long range goals of their own to rack up five for villa. and a consolation goal for norwich wasn't enough to wipe the smiles off prince george's face. his dad the duke of cambridge, brought him along to carrow road, possibly getting his first born hooked on his team villa — the duchess of cambridge and princess charlote
6:44 pm
were there as well. and dean smith the villa boss was a happy man too. i will be getting them tickets for every game now, if they need tickets because we got the result today. i will even put a call in and see if we can get them on the team coach for the next game. people are questioning us a little bit but our performances have been right up there and we have deserved more. disappointed because we wanted to get some points today in the home game. if! get some points today in the home game. if i am honest, it is difficult to repeat this on a weekly basis. too many problems today and in orderto gain basis. too many problems today and in order to gain some points, of course it is disappointing. west ham are playing crystal palace at home in the day's late game — a london derby that could now see the hammers go up to third with a win. they've had the best
6:45 pm
chances in the first half— palace yet to really threaten. it is now 1—0 to west ham in that match. and west ham on course to go up match. and west ham on course to go up to third in the premier league table. great start for them. two results we have not mentioned. a 1—0 for burnley against everton who had seamus coleman sent off in the second half. jeff hendrick scoring the burnley winner. everton in a bit of trouble now down to 17th. a very poor game between watford and sheffield united finished 0—0. but the significant figure in the table is that eight—point cushion for liverpool at the top. burnley now up to fourth after their good run of results, with manchester city playing wolves at home tomorrow. at the bottom it's worrying times for norwich — remember they beat manchester city three weekends ago,
6:46 pm
but aside from that have had five defeats from six. that perhaps sums up what an unpredictable division the premier league can be. in the championship, we had a match between one side relegated from the premier league, and one promoted from league one — and it finished all square. charlton have been impressive so far this season and they took the lead twice — macauley bonne putting them 2—1 ahead. but fulham were much improved in the second half, aleksandar mitrovic earning them a point. both sides are in the top half of the table. west bromwich albion have gone to the top of the championship table with a 11—2 win over cardiff and nottingham forest are up to second after beating brentford1—0. qpr are one point outside
6:47 pm
the play—off spots after beating blackburn 4—2. all the scores from today's league and fa cup matches are on the bbc sport website. in scotland, motherwell are third three points off the premiership leaders celtic with a 2—0 win over st mirren. aberdeen and hibs drew, hearts lost at home to kilmarnock, and ross county drew with st johnstone. celtic and rangers play tomorrow. there's more football to come on sportsday — including... disappointment for phil neville after england women fall after england women fail to win again. the manager says it's "not acceptable". and olympic qualification for great britain's female gymnasts — we'll hear how they did it. it's the penultimate day at the world atheltics championships in doha. there are more british medal chances coming up this evening, let's cross live to the khalifa stadium,
6:48 pm
our sports correspondent natalie pirks is there. natalie, years ago at the worlds in london, the relays really boosted the british team's medal tally, and the women's 4x400 metres relay heats have been taking place, how have the british team done? we are actually just waiting we are actuallyjust waiting for confirmation but i think they are out. britain's men that is. we are literally waiting because they are standing around looking at the second heat. thomas brittain‘s men, three successive bronze medals at world championships, you would have expected them to be on the podium. but in the heat, martyn rooney was running the anchor leg and he just got run down essentially. britain we re got run down essentially. britain were ina got run down essentially. britain were in a good position and they we re were in a good position and they were second or third going into the anchor leg. he came fifth in the end, in the last 100 and has. he has spoken to us afterwards and says he feels like he has let the team down
6:49 pm
again, a habit he doesn't like. he also said he was trying to run outside lane one, but the tactic didn't pay off. britain will not be in the final tomorrow night and that isa in the final tomorrow night and that is a big blow. remember, britain have a target of seven medals minimum for these championships. that is one they won't be getting and before the championships, the favourites, the usa looked very strong. better news for britain's women, they came second in the heat behind the usa. the usa look insanely strong. clearly, they will be going for their seventh title in eight successive world championships. they have won six of the last seven. britain qualified second and they will be in the final tomorrow night. at least that is something. dina asher-smith, she will likely leave qatar with three medals. she is running later so we should find out what colour the final one is? of course, she has the silver and she has the gold. as i
6:50 pm
said, britain got silver at the world championships in london in 2017 and there isn't a big favourite for that race because the usa always going to be there or thereabouts and so are going to be there or thereabouts and so arejamaica. it going to be there or thereabouts and so are jamaica. it will be a tussle to see who gets gold, silver and bronze in that one. i think that is around 8pm your time. but of course we have britain's men in the four by 100 and britain used to be pretty terrible at man's only race leading up terrible at man's only race leading up to london in 2017 but in 2017 and of course, they became the defending champions. since then it has all looked quite rosy. they posted on friday, the fastest time in the world since 2017. jamaica, by the way, didn't qualify. america had quite a couple of messy changes in their heat so it could be quite interesting to see who gets on the podium. it is terribly loud here, i can barely hear myself think, which
6:51 pm
isa can barely hear myself think, which is a change in the atmosphere lately. laura muir should get a medal? she has been injured, but she came third in her heat and said she was happy with her time and it has given her confidence. she knows the likes of k] t confidence. she knows the likes of kjt and dina asher—smith are doing it and representing britain. so she really wa nts it and representing britain. so she really wants to go out there and win a medal. one of the biggest name she is up against is sifan hassan, who w011 is up against is sifan hassan, who won the 10,000 metres, she is looking to do the unprecedented double. no woman has ever done the 10,000 on the 1500 and she is the world record holder. if she wins, it could be something quite spectacular. we will be all hoping and keeping our fingers spectacular. we will be all hoping and keeping ourfingers crossed spectacular. we will be all hoping and keeping our fingers crossed that laura muircan bring and keeping our fingers crossed that laura muir can bring home a medal.
6:52 pm
natalie, thank you. let's take a look at some of the day's other headlines... the defending motogp world champion marc marquez is third on the grid for tomorrows thai grand prix, that's despite crashing for the second time in two days. he can clinch the title tomorrow. the estonian oit tanak leads the wales rally going into the final day. britain's kris meeke is in fourth. tanak leads the championship with two more rounds to go. and dominic thiem, the man who knocked out andy murray, is through to the final of the china open, after coming from a set down to beat karen khachanov — he'll face stefanos tsitsipas in the beijing final. let's return to football, and it's now five games since england's women last won a match. earlier today they lost 2—1 to brazil in middlesbrough in an international friendly. a crowd of more than 29,000 watched a brazilian double from debinha, while beth england scored herfirst goal for the lionesses jo currie was watching at the riverside. it may have been a bumper crowd watching here at the riverside, in fa ct
6:53 pm
watching here at the riverside, in fact more than 29,000 fans turned out, which is a record crowd outside of wembley. however, for the lioness fa ns of wembley. however, for the lioness fans watching their team play on home soilfor the first fans watching their team play on home soil for the first time since the world cup, it was a result to forget. england had bundled the ball into the back of the net early on only fourjodie taylor's gold to be ruled out for offside. england looked comfortable and dominated in the first half. they managed to keep one of the game' greatest players at bay. but phil neville's side failed in front of goal when it mattered. taylor, with the pick of the chances. phil neville called for his side to be more ruthless in the second half, but it was brazil who got the first breakthrough. they made the most of the space and headed home. the goalkeeper should have done better. it was so simple for brazil's second with england scrambling up the back. brazil doubled their lead. england needed a spark and it came from beth england. off the bench and straight onto the scoresheet. a first international
6:54 pm
goalfor the scoresheet. a first international goal for the chelsea striker but she couldn't prevent inge's first ever defeat to brazil as the lioness is stretch their run without a win to five games. what i have just seen, thatis five games. what i have just seen, that is the level of a top team. we got punished for two lapses in concentration for the first half but we kept going right to the very end. our play at times was some of the best football i have seen us play for a long time. now, we are in that period where things are not going for us that we may be going for us 12 months ago. we havejust got for us that we may be going for us 12 months ago. we have just got to stick together and believe that what we are doing is right. plenty for phil neville to think about. the last time the lionesses went five games without a win was all the way backin games without a win was all the way back in 2013. however, they can put things right pretty quickly. tomorrow they travel to lisbon for a friendly against portugal on tuesday. great britain's women gymnasts will have a team at next year's olympicsthat‘s thanks to results at the world championships in stuttgart. they're currently fourth among the nations who've not
6:55 pm
yet made it to tokyo, so they've done enough to claim their place, as david mcdaid reports. overall, a positive day for great britain's women in stuttgart. they have now officially sealed their place in next year's olympics in tokyo. i say overall positive, because it wasn't the best team performance, there were some errors. notably, georgia—mae fenton, who fell off the beam. not a vintage performance and there was a mistake on the uneven bars and count it a stumble on the floor. obviously i am disappointed for myself but i felt like i let the girls down a little bit. we didn't at all. i try my best but it didn't come off today. ellie downie, not pleas from a personal point of view. but there were other big performances across the floor apparatus from british women. becky downie, the elder sister, scored big on uneven bars and alice kinsella, the most consistent performer,
6:56 pm
helping them into a position where they will finish inside the top 12 teams who will gain places for next yea r‘s teams who will gain places for next year's olympics in tokyo. the parity was the olympic qualification and we definitely got one of the toughest rounds with it being early. we have been up at 5am and training has been up been up at 5am and training has been up and down because of that. to come out here and for the girl to perform how we have, i am super happy and proud of them. satisfaction about the olympic qualification but it is still unclear as to whether they will make the top eight teams who will make the top eight teams who will go through to tuesday's welting final here in stuttgart. it is tight and we won't know exactly how they will fare until all the other nations have finished competing later this evening and that includes the usa and a certain simone biles. finally, former world snooker champion neil robertson had to forfeit his world open qualifier on friday — because he drove to the wrong barnsley. it has happened to many people.
6:57 pm
when he left home in cambridge, he set his sat—nav for barnsley, but the village in gloucestershire, not where his match was at the barnsley metrodome in yorkshire — 170 miles away. he tweeted. .. you wouldn't admit to it, would you? a quick update for west ham, at the london stadium they are drawing 1—1 with crystal palace. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more at 7:30. thank you forjoining us. good evening. hope you have enjoyed the start of your weekend so far. it has turned wet across eastern areas this afternoon. the rain hammering down at the moment in northern ireland but the ray will be spreading east across most other the
