waswe was we get on as we get on into the first brighter as we get on into the first half of the forthcoming week i think the second half it reverts to the milder windy orface of the second half it reverts to the milder windy or face of autumn soap 00:00:10,726 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 a real mishmash on offer. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... police charge maurice robinson with the manslaughter of 39 people found dead inside a lorry in essex. he's also been charged with conspiracy to traffic people. england are into the final of the rugby world cup after a thrilling 19—7 victory over the defending champions new zealand in yokohama. and the dup leader arlene foster vows to keep opposing

borisjohnson‘s brexit deal unless changes are made. millions of californians face having their power cut as the state battles a surge in wildfires. now on bbc news, it's time for sportsday. hello, and welcome to sportsday, with me lizzie greenwood—hughes and jane dougall. one of the most incredible matches of the rugby world cup so far — england knock out the defending champions new zealand to go through to the final. will that win inspire wales? their semi—final against south africa is tomorrow, warren gatland doesn't want it to be his last match in charge. and what's in a name? well, quite a lot — dispute over who scored manchester city's second goal against villa.
7:32 pm
also coming up in the programme... taking to the pitch for the first time in more than a decade, but it wasn't the fairytale return that great britain's rugby league lions were looking for. and london hosts a great boxing night with fighter josh taylor aiming to become the only british boxer with two world title belts. evening, lots coming up on sportsday this evening, a close look at all today's football in a moment, but before that — what a thrilling rugby match with england beating the all blacks to go through to the rugby world cup final. yes, throughout the match england were the better side — their 19 —7 victory was comprehensive and it could have been more with england having two tries disallowed. our sports editor dan roan was watching in yokohama.
7:33 pm
throughout the match, england were the better side. capturing the moment. opponents much more used to occasions arriving quietly confident. taking on robbie's dominant force is always special but with a place in the world cup final on the line, this was a match of truly epic proportions. from the start, there was an edge to england, encroaching into all—black territory before the match at even begun. and making a formation of their own during the hacker. vfor victory, formation of their own during the hacker. v for victory, if they were intimidated, they certainly didn't look at. the tone had been set. england starting with such ferocious intensity, being able to pick and drive over. the quickest try new zealand have ever considered that
7:34 pm
the world cup. england in no mood to loosen the grip. george ford's penalty giving them a ten point lead at half—time. the only point new zealand could muster came from england mistake. if line—out pounced on. that was as good as it goes that it this england team does not work like it has in the past, defending like it has in the past, defending like men possessed. new zealand were running out of time for that they have not tasted defeat in this competition since 2007 but had been outplayed. the dream of a third successive world cup triumph over, along with the rain. coach eddie jones masterminding one of the great england performances in any sport. rugby‘s world order have a new power. i would like to pay the greatest couple to new zealand, they won two world cups in a row, been a great team so we had to dig really to beat them. why track having seen a team secure a first ever world cup
7:35 pm
wind over new zealand, england's fa ns wind over new zealand, england's fans could continue the celebrations for a week. are that we thought they would play, we hope they would play and they did. it was relentless from start to finish. not since 2003 as english rugby enjoy the moment quite like this. for years on from their failure and the last tournament, bright has been restored and the superpower of the sport has been dethroned. tomorrow, england will discover if they will face england oi’ discover if they will face england or south africa in next week's final but whoever it is all start as firm favourites after a wind they will never forget. for the reigning champions — new zealand — it's the first time they've lost a game at the world cup for 12 years. the third place play off next friday will be head coach steve hansen's final game in charge of the all blacks. in his press conference following the defeat he was upset with a question from one of the members of the media aimed at his captain kieran reid.
7:36 pm
described it as respectful question, to suggest the all blacks turned up not being hungry, they are desperate to win the game. i asked them at half—time to get hungrier and that doesn't mean they didn't turn up to be hungry. there is a big difference. if you want to spend some time outside, i'll give you a by some time outside, i'll give you a rugby indication on that one but to turn up and say an all blacks team comes to a semifinal of a rugby world cup with the amount of ability and history that they have behind it, to say it's not hungry, that is a pretty average question, i reckon. so who will england play next? it could be wales, they take on south africa in the second semi—final tomorrow and earlier they held their captain's run training session at their tokyo base, before heading to yokohama. this is wales's second semi—final appearance in three tournaments. wing george north is one of four players starting against south africa, who were in the team that narrowly lost to france the last time they reached the semis — eight years ago. and north admits that his form
7:37 pm
injapan has been "mixed" — but he believes wales are in a stronger position than ever to reach a first final. macri fared very well this week. it was idealfor us to bounce macri fared very well this week. it was ideal for us to bounce off. macri fared very well this week. it was idealfor us to bounce off. as a memento point of view. i think from one to the whole squad, 3132 as we are now, i think the preparation has been brilliant. i think the most is the boys were chomping at the bit to get involved. not quite as many goals. note 9—0. talk us through the premier league. not as many goals as there were at st mary's last night! but still a busy day in the premier league, with all the results, here's joe lynskey.
7:38 pm
yeah leicester cith the latest surprise contenders to emerge in a title race after that result last night. we'll look back at those goals shortly. but the side looking to close the gap on the league leaders today were the champions manchester city. they had to battle hard at home to aston villa, and it didn't all go their way, but this 3—0 win takes them to within three points of liverpool who play tomorrow. with the story at the etihad, patrick gearey reports. man city could be forgiven for being fidgety, they started behind leicester city but have weathered such sums were for. aston villa asked awkward questions of the all cheaper than the referee and the video referees. no penalty here. at times, city over elaborated two seconds after the break, they make the equation simple. one pass, one touch, one man in the form of his wife,1—0. raheem touch, one man in the form of his wife, 1—0. raheem sterling. the second was more complicated, the goal my goal was credited to kevin de bruyne but was another touch and was an offside? technology is not brought —— does not bring certainty and they stuck with a goal for the
7:39 pm
no grey area regarding the result, in this war in this boring blue shirt and eventually a third for ilkay gundogan. if there are problems for city, they are at the other end. this foul by fernandinho earned him a second yellow, a red and a suspension. they can deal with that another day, city now three points behind liverpool and the rain had passed. city with a win. but more personnel problems to deal with in the coming weeks with that fernandinho red card. for their manager it was their turnaround in performance at half tmie that made the difference. the second half, i don't know if we played good the second half because we scored a goal early or not. the second half was different. anyway, we won and especially in the second half, we done well. so that result means city go to within one result potentially of reeling liverpool in. jurgen klopp's side play tomorrow at home to tottenham, but you can see now that both leicester and chelsea aren't
7:40 pm
a million miles away either. that's after that sensational 9—0 win for the foxes over southampton last night — the biggest away win in the entire history of the english football league, and in the last few minutes an almost equally dominant win for frank lampard's side. they've beaten burnley 11—2 to strengthen their grip on fourth place. with the story of this one, michael redford reports. after achieving a sixth successive win in midweek, frank lampard said his chelsea babies had come of age. his youthful side arrived at burnley having the match would be no more than child's play. but this is a burnley size rarely roll over these days, they do, though, slip op. christian pulisic with his first goalfor the club. christian pulisic with his first goal for the club. burnley could have been level moments later. ashley barnes will still be wondering how this header didn't
7:41 pm
find the net. instead, it was chelsea who extended their lead after not scoring a league goal since may, christian pulisic had two in one match. and that soon became three. the first senior hat—trick for christian pulisic. almost a year to the day, chelsea 14—0 in the last week visit to turf moor. willian making sure history would repeat itself. unlike 12 months ago, burnley did manage to score twice. first from jay rodriguez and then from dwight mcneil. chelsea hung on for a seventh successive win and frank lampard's fast track education is justified. well away from the very top of the division the game of the day was here at the amex, where brighton came from behind to win late against everton. but this game turned on a var incident — everton were 2—1 in front when the video officials at stockley park overruled a referee's on—field decision to give brighton a penalty. everton were furious, and we haven't seen that too often this season that referee's on the pitch change their decision to award penalties after a video check. neil maupay scored to make it 2—2,
7:42 pm
then in the 94th minute an own goal from everton's lucas digne gave brighton a dramatic win. so ecstasy for the home side who have another important win under manager graham potter — their third of the season, but for the everton manager it's that penalty decision that leaves a bitter taste. var is to be the same for both sides, if they found that at the moment it is 100% sure if they do a lwa ys moment it is 100% sure if they do always the same, we will see 20 penalties each weekend in the premier league. 20 penalties if they see at the same way and it's easy to look for this. if they see the penalty, they have to see the penalty, they have to see the penalty on richarlison 15 minutes before. my players make mistakes, the referees make mistakes also is a
7:43 pm
tough game but var is there and if they saw that penalty, they have to see it 15 minutes before on richarlison. we had a few that have not gone our way recently. if we have had a bit of luck today, i think those that watched us over the la st think those that watched us over the last ten games would say we may be and a bit of luck today but i thought it was a really good game, hard—fought game with everton making it difficult for us and it was a tough premier league match, so we are delighted with the three points. another point on the board for newly promoted sheffield united — a hard earned 1—1 draw with west ham takes them up to seventh. they were opened up in the first half when robert snodgrass put west ham in front at the london stadium with a well taken finish, but in the second half, the blades found a equaliser from lys mousset who's scuffed shot trickled in. so west ham are now without a win in four and have fallen back slightly, but great momentum for chris wilder's side at the moment. sheffield united beat arsenal on monday night — their last defeat was that narrow loss to liverpool four weeks ago.
7:44 pm
they have not lost a game in four weeks when they were beaten 1—0 by liverpool. it was a big test for us today because i think a lot of people would have thought after the arsenal game that they chucked everything into that and i should imagine that the people would have thought there would have been a definite win home win today. but be what that trend second half with a performance that delighted me. watford drew 0—0 with bournemouth in today's other three o'clock kick off. watford still haven't won in their 10 league matches this season, it leaves them as you can see rooted to the bottom of the table on five points. norwich play manchester united at home tomorrow, while southampton have given their full backing to manager ralf hassenhutl, despite that 9—0 defeat last night. at the top, as we saw leicester city are into the top three, while sheffield united are now inside the top half, and just peering up at a title race that with liverpool in action against spurs tomorrow mightjust be getting a bit more congested.
7:45 pm
at the top, leicester city getting into the top three. thank you. i'm glad to see var is continuing to league football as clear as mud. they don't have a thiney championship, but let's move on to the championship. leeds have dropped down to third in the championship after playing out a goalless draw with sheffield wednesday — who are now fourth. striker steven fletcher almost broke the deadlock for wednesday in the second half at hillsborough when his first—time shot bounced off the bar. leeds almost stole all three points. let's take a look at the rest of the results. preston leapfog leeds into second place after a 3—2 win over local rivals blackburn rovers. west brom weren't able to stretch their two point lead at the top.
7:46 pm
they had a man sent off and could only draw 2—all at home to charlton. elsewhere there were wins for birmingham, huddersfield, hull and millwall, while middlesbrough drew nil—nil with ten man fulham. in the scottish premiership, bottom side stjohnstone won their first game of the season. callum hendry scored the winner in a 3—2 victory over hamilton. elswehere kilmarnock beat st mirren, while the games between hibernian and ross county, and livingston and hearts ended in draws. leaders celtic are away at aberdeen tomorrow, while rangers — who're level on points at the top — host motherwell. after a twelve year absence, great britain's rugby league lions returned to play an international match in new zealand, but lost 111—6 to a tonga invitational fifteen. the match in hamilton was given official test status by the international rugby league, despite a dispute with tonga's governing body. our rugby league correspondent dave woods was watching. the match was 12 years in the
7:47 pm
making, try a 2007 since great britain last played under that banner but it wasn't to be their night. terrific performance by tonga and a huge result for international by and a huge result for international rugby league. brian noble, what you great britain learn from that defeat? you can't get a team like tonga, top four team, such superstars in the game, a start, they did. the first half was a little bit scruffy, they got a foothold, could roll the lines team on the field and could not call that deficit back in the second half, so thatis deficit back in the second half, so that is the facet of international football. if you give 80 may start, it's difficult to it back. great britain not too far away but what lessons do they take to next week? make sure you are in with a kick, ricocheted kick. we saw the resulting score and they looked a little bit rusty in the first half. great result from the international
7:48 pm
by great result from the international rugby league because the tongan fans behind us cannot believe how much the site has come on in the last few yea rs. very the site has come on in the last few years. very passionate and the sea of red is aptly named because it is a brilliant result for international by a brilliant result for international rugby league and not a disaster for the lions because they have three more games on this strip to prove their worth. you'll like tonga playing a scalp of new zealand in the world cup two years ago. they go up the world cup two years ago. they go up against the best of the best. three more matches to come but a real tough challenge next week against new zealand at eden park where they will have to be able to bit better than they were tonight. rugby union's domestic season battles on despite several players at the world cup. gloucester have made it two wins from two in the premiership so far. they beat wasps 25—9 to move up to second, withjoe simpson scoring two of their four tries against his former club. northampton are top after beating worcester, while there were also wins for harlequins and sale.
7:49 pm
in the pro 1a, the dragons have eased to their second win of the new season. they beat glasgow 18—5, taine basham with the first of their two tries. elsewhere, benetton beat the southern kings 36—30. let's take a look at some of the other sports news stories making the headlines today. tiger woods said he surprised himself with a second straight 64, giving him a two—shot lead at the half—way stage of the zozo championship injapan. he's playing in his first tournament for two months after having knee surgery. the tournament will finish on monday, after rain disrupted the schedule. ireland's cricketers are top of their qualifying group for next year's t20 world cup, after a straight—forwa rd victory over nigeria in abu dhabi. nigeria limped to 66 for 9 and ireland knocked off the runs they needed in just 37 balls to win by 8 wickets. ireland are level on points with oman at the top of the table. qualifying was postponed at this weekends motogp as high winds battered
7:50 pm
phillip island in australia. just look at how they blew miguel oliveira off in practice. he was travelling at around 300 kilometres an hour. he somehow escaped serious injury. qualifying will now take place early tomorrow. let's go to washington now where houston astros fought back to win game three of baseball's world series. the washington nationals still lead 2—1 in the best of seven series. tulsen tollett sent us this from nationals park. after back—to—back defeats in texas, history told houston they had to in game three. with scars career on base, underfire game three. with scars career on base, under fire right fielderjosh reddick got them off to the terrific start. it was a lead they wouldn't relinquish. and a third, michael brownlee signalling the first of two
7:51 pm
run—scoring at best. washington briefly flickered into life. victor rovers tripled and... the astros increased their lead to three. robinson to reno's clear defence. his first home run of the world series. the national had ten runners on base. the astros closed a fine i’ow on base. the astros closed a fine row when in a victory on either saturday or sunday ensuring a six game back in texas. the two best super—lightweights in the world will meet in london tonight as scotjosh taylor takes on the undefeated american regis prograis. both boxers are putting their world super—lightweight belts on the line, as well as their unbeaten records.
7:52 pm
prograis is the bookmakers‘ favourite to win — but has never fought outside of the united states. they say there is nothing between them but there's everything to lose. two world champions, winner takes all. it's what i've been dreaming to do as all. it's what i've been dreaming to doasa all. it's what i've been dreaming to do as a kid growing up, dreaming of becoming a professional fighter, being involved in these massive fights. it's what almost every fighter dreams of and i'm being part of it, so i'm relaxed and really enjoying it, and soaking it all in. why the world boxing super series is designed to complicate what has become a pretty complicated sport. it's the best versus the best for the muhammad ali trophy. the man from new orleans is the favourite. the wba champion is 30 years old and has had a total of 2a fights, winning them all and knocking out 20 of his opponents. facing him is edinburgh'sjosh
7:53 pm
of his opponents. facing him is edinburgh's josh taylor. of his opponents. facing him is edinburgh'sjosh taylor. the champion is younger but has had less fights, won them all, knocking out 12 are the way. why try 35 years i've been in this business. this is the first time there's been too unbeaten champions, one of the british, have fought on british soil. this does not happen. white but it is. the man standing in the wave taylor was my dream is considered to be one of the very best pa rt considered to be one of the very best part of and boxes in the world. white none of my 24 fights matter, none of his fight matter. the only thing that matters right now is this right here. yellow might know, it is pouring down outside, he is indoors and he has a sunglasses on. who does that? - boxing go hand-in-hand with this feels different. different for
7:54 pm
the sport and for taylor himself. it isa the sport and for taylor himself. it is a chance for him to go from here to here and become a true great of boxing. also on the same card, dachas are fights david price and an all british heavyweight bout. not much to separate the fighters on the way in. chisora coming in at 18 stone and 8 pounds. price weighed in four pounds heavier at 18 stone, 12 pounds. a win for price would be a fourth successive victory, while a win for chisora would put him on the verge of another world title fight. all of the fights will be broadcast on bbc radio 5 live. in formula 1, lewis hamilton may be struggling to get onto the front of the grid for tomorrows mexican grand prix. he was fourth fastest in practice. second qualifying is underway. hamilton could win his sixth title this weekend but he needs to out—score his mercedes team mate valteri bottas by 14 points if he's to win the title. jennie gow is there for us.
7:55 pm
