they're out of the world cup after a quarterfinal defeat to south africa. liverpool's perfect start to the premier league season has been ended by their great rivals, manchester united. but it wasn't without controversy. once again it was all to do with the use of the video assistant referee. united took the lead at old trafford through marcus rashford. that was referred to var, which decided liverpool's divock origi wasn't fouled in the build up. var then ruled out an equaliser for sadio mane for handball. adam lallana scored a late equaliser with his first goal for two and a half years. i thought they were excellent, the boys. attitude, you can see the fitness in the boys now. we are getting fitter and fitter. the aggression first half to win the ball. the crowds response to the

team. disappointing for us, for the fans, for the players and they were disappointed in the dressing room. which is a good sign for me, it's not like they are excited, we have got a point from liverpool, it should have been three. good enough or a point, we gave manchester united to play the way they wanted to play. you're defending, being aggressive and well organised with eight players at the back, three in the midfield. they had the momentum because of that and we didn't, or orientation wasn't good enough. we felt under pressure when we were not under pressure. we could have turned and passed the ball through and when we did that, it was immediately dangerous. there was an unusual stoppage in the match between sassuolo and inter milan earlier — someone parachuted onto the pitch! they were quickly ushered off the field as inter milan won 4—3 and hung on to the coat tails

of serie a leadersjuventus. two goals each from romelu lukaku and lautaro martinez had put them 4—1 up and well on the way to a 7th win in eight games. two late sassuolo strikes made the final eight minutes a little tighter than expected, but inter held on and move just a point behind juve. no such luck for their city rivals milan though, they twice let the lead slip in stefano pioli first game as manager. it finished 2—2 with lecce, marco calderoni with the equaliser in stoppage time. in germany, schalke missed out on the chance to go top of the bundesliga after losing 2—0 at hoffenheim. the substitute set the first one up an scored the second himself to end schalke‘s seven game unbeaten run away from home.

number two seat, julia george. the former french open winner was a wildcard in the event and the win gives her her first title in just over two years. to the oval ball next where japan have illumunated the rugby world cup in their own country, but that light has now faded after they were beaten in the quarterfinals by south africa. the final score in tokyo was 26—3. andy swiss was there for us. this was a night whenjapan‘s thrilling world cup adventure finally came to an end as south africa proved that one test too far for them. four years ago, japan pulled off one of the great upsets in rugby when they beat south africa at the world cup. south africa soon took control with the first try after just three took control with the first try afterjust three minutes, courtesy of mac are so lame aplenty. at that stage, japan would have been fearing the worst. but they battled back and a penalty narrowed the gap to just 5-3. at that a penalty narrowed the gap to just

5—3. at that stage japan were still in it but in the second half south africa stretch clear. three penalties from fly—half andre pollard and penalties from fly—half andre polla rd and then penalties from fly—half andre pollard and then two late tries sealed their passage through. the first from scrum—half faf de klerk before they got a second to seal the victory. so south africa go through to the semifinals, where they will face wales. as forjapan, it has been somejourney, their face wales. as forjapan, it has been some journey, their first ever quarterfinal in world cup history. but their brave efforts of making it through to the last four have ended in disappointment. wales next for south africa as andy was saying there. their head coach warren gatland admitted the better side lost after wales needed a late converted try to give them a 20—19 win over france — they were a man down for over half an hour because of a red card. our sports editor dan roan has the story of the game. it was france who started and they we re it was france who started and they were the better. two early tries and

then wales responded to aaron wainwright, who scored a try of his own. at that point it was anybody‘s. france 19—10 up at half—time. early in the second half, sebastien vahaamahina, the giant french lock elbowed wainwright during a mall, camped on the wales line. there was no need for it. in the roaming half—an—hour, france were reduced to 14. it looked like time is running out and wales were struggling to make their one—man advantage count. but in the final reckoning, moriarty it was who popped up to score the decisive try. dan biggar converted to edge wales ahead for the very first time in the match. so they are through to a second semifinal in the last three world cups and they will now believe, that having not been at their best, but somehow found a way to prevail, they can go all the way, reach a first world cup final i give

coach, warren gatland the defining moment in this, his final tournament that he his long and successful tenure deserves. staying in japan and australia's head coach michael cheka will stand down at the end of the year. it comes after their heavy defeat to england on saturday. cheka's contract was up soon anyway, but he said in 2018 he'd quite if the wallabies didn't win the world cup. i have no regrets about making the call, but yes i would love to stay on. i really feel attached to the team. it is an honour to be in this role as a coach of australia. it is not given to a lot of people and i ta ke not given to a lot of people and i take it with a lot of pride and a lot of armour. but, like i said, i made my call and i wanted to show that i was prepared to put myself on the line. to achieve what i believe the line. to achieve what i believe the team could and we didn't do that andi the team could and we didn't do that and i have got to stand by what i

said. belgium's nicolas colsaerts has ended a 7—year title drought to win the french open on sunday, finishing on 12 under par. he only managed a one over par 72 in the final round and demark‘sjb hansen looked like he might threaten for the title. however despite losing his advantage at one point, this eagle on the 14th hole was enough to take colsaerts back in front, as he hung on to win his third european title, and his first since may 2012. danielle kang will remember her 27th birthday for a while. she held on to win the lpga shanghai by a single shot from overnight leaderjessica korda. kang finished on 16 under par. it's her third win on the lpga tour. you can get all the latest sports news at our website — that's bbc.com/sport. but from me connie mclaughlin and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye.

some quiet weather around at least to start this week and that is in sharp contrast to what we have had so sharp contrast to what we have had so far in october, an active jet strea m so far in october, an active jet stream and rain. in england and wales all the average october rainfall has fallen already this month with 11 days to go. very wet in north—east england. scotland and northern ireland, still some way to go to get the average october rainfall and it is here we will see the wettest weather as we go through the wettest weather as we go through the week. but as i mentioned earlier, it is quite to stop the week because we have an area of high pressure moving in. that said, there is low pressure close to east anglia and south—east england for monday and south—east england for monday and that will bring a bit of rain for some others. in terms of the weather feel to begin the day, chilly and northern ireland but especially in scotland, indicating where parts of rural aberdeenshire, have been down to minus three

celsius to start the day. a milder start for england and wales with a lot of cloud around and the north—easterly breeze and a few showers. outbreaks of rain towards the far south—east, parts of kent, essex, coastal suffolk and norfolk. maybe a few spots further inland as well. we will see some outbreaks of rain edging towards the northern isles later in the day with a freshening south westerly wind and temperature ten to 1a degrees with sunny spells developing more widely as we go on to the day. it will actually be a chilly night for england and wales going into tuesday morning with winds light here and there will be fog patches developing there will be fog patches developing there could be dense in a few places. bear that in mind ahead of the tuesday morning commute. i bet it's still here and very few isobars indicating light winds. a brighter picture for scotland, northern ireland and part of england as well. afairamount of ireland and part of england as well. a fair amount of cloud around on tuesday. most will be dry but we do have outbreaks of rain in the far north of scotland and a few sunny spells after the fog clears away and temperatures are edging up a few degrees. take a look at the big picture for wednesday. low pressure

is getting closer and also a weak weather front heading towards the south—east. weather fronts are coming in and the more substantial rain from these will be heading into northern ireland, heading into scotland, especially the west. a few showers from the other weather front towards east anglia and the south—east. in between the two there will be this zone of dry, sunny weather and temperatures the mid to low teens. that is how the week is looking, quiet to start with and from mid week, it is back to some rain at times in scotland and northern ireland. whereas for england and wales, pressure remains higher so the quieter weather holds on. not much in the way a fresh rainfall on the way, but remember there will be a few fog patches occasionally.
