stretch out the lead. in the heart of the huddle was granit xhaka. the former captain is now key to arsenal's revival. that came in eight first—half when arsenal could have had more. gabrieljesus was stopped by the saints keeper. in the second half by a tackle. they know to win this league, there is have to go in and one male leads are slender. southampton had hung in there and now swept forward. a point for them would be precious, but for arsenal unhelpful. the gunners did respond, but what they thought was a late winner was disallowed. the ball went out of play. for the first time since january, arsenal played out a draw. they are still top, but on the south coast to points slipped away. joe lynskey, bbc news. spurs dominated possession

for the first half hour, but were suddenly undone by calamity goalkeeping from hugo lloris, coupled with the cool head of callum wilson. lloris then failed to stop the in form miguel almiron, who scored his fifth goal in as many games. antonio cponte had made five changes to the spurs side that lost at manchester united, but harry kane is seemingly ever present. it wasn't enough, and newcastle one 2-1. leeds are in real trouble — they haven't won in eight matches now — after losing at home to fulham today. leeds took the lead early on through rodrigo — but fulham came roaring back. aleksandr mitrovic levelled — and then after half—time — bobby de cordova reid and willian made the game safe — before a late consolation from crysensio summerville made it 3—2. fulham up to 7th — but the pressure is really building on leeds bossjesse marsch — with the fans making their feelings clear at the final whistle.

we are hurting. it is painful. we feel like we do little things that we can't seem to reward ourselves. but we are together so, you know, i understand that fans are not happy and the ier should be directed exactly at me and i have to find ways to make us better and help us get points. meanwhile, who needs a manager? just four days since steven gerrard was sacked at aston villa, they thrashed brentford four goals to nil. first team coach aaron danks was in charge of what turned out to be only their third win of the season, and lifts them up to 14th in the table. and leicester picked up theirfirst away points of the season, thanks to a thumping 4—0 win, at fellow strugglers wolves. youri tielemans opened the scoring for the foxes, james maddison and jamie vardy. the win takes leicester off the bottom of the table — and out of the relegation zone, while managerless wolves drop to 19th.

reigning champion fabio quartararo finished third in sepang. eight—time world rally champion sebastien 0gier won his first event of the season in spain to help toyota secure the manufacturer's title. these days, 0gier only competes part—time, so this was just his fourth rally of the year. but his class seems permanent as he beat hyundai's thierry neuville by sixteen seconds. and mark allen won the last three frames of the session to level the northern ireland 0pen final at 4—1! against china's zhou yoo—long. they'll play to a finish this evening with the first to nine taking the title in belfast. to an absolute thriller in the t20 world cup now — between india and pakistan. it went down to the last over, where india won it in the most dramatic circumstances in front of a huge crowd in melbourne of more than 90,000, with millions more watching one

of the fiercest rivalries around the world. dan 0gunshakin reports. a cricket coliseum, two fierce rivals and emotions running high. india raced out of the traps, aj deep singer at the double. pakistan imploded. the double wicket over at a crucial time meant it was smiles all round. but an unbeaten half—century and some big hitting later on meant pakistan were still in the hunt. for indian wickets fell in the hunt. for indian wickets fell in the hunt. for indian wickets fell in the first seven opens. india needed a hero and they found one. virat kohli'. two sixes, and suddenly the game is getting away from pakistan. the match turned on one delivery, virat kohli' and a no ball. it came down to the final goal. a game sealed that divide

logic. and what a match. ireland were hammered by sri lanka in their opening super i2s match at the t20 world cup. they could only manage 128 from their innings, with the wicket of harry tector a big one for sri lanka. and the irish struggled with the ball too, with kusal mendis reaching an unbeaten 68 — including a six to finish off the chase — with sri lanka winning by nine wickets. marcus smith led the way with 2a points as harlequins beat sale in the premiership. the fly half scored a try, two conversions and five penalties as quins ran out winners by 29 points to 13. they move up to fifth in the table, whilst the defeat ends sale's unbeaten start to the season. meanwhile, in the united rugby championship, dragons came from behind to beat 0spreys at rodney parade. up a bonus point win. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more

throughout the evening. this is the extraordinary amazon. home to 10% of the world's wildlife, as well as millions of people, including 350 indigenous groups. but the world's largest rainforest is under threat. under brazil's current president, jair bolsonaro, deforestation has soared, illegal mining is at record highs. he and his supporters say the amazon needs to be developed. but the forest and its people are suffering — a traditional way of life forever being altered by miners and loggers.

rival lula has promised to end illegal deforestation and mining. but is he really the man to save the amazon? perhaps this is one of the most critical presidential elections we have ever had in brazil. as brazilians go to the polls, will who wins decide the future of the rainforest? we travelled to brazil's yanomami territory, right up on the border with venezuela. it's the world's largest indigenous reserve — home to nearly 30,000 people who live as hunter—gatherers, as well as tens of thousands of illegal miners, a number that keeps growing. the remoteness of the yanomami is what makes them so special, but also increasingly vulnerable. this woman is malnourished

and dehydrated. the health centre's become a field hospital on the front line of illegal mining. there are new cases every day — old and young. nobody escapes this scourge. outside, a makeshift ward is full of patients with malaria — yet another disease brought in by outsiders and making the yanomami sick. marilena is one of them.
