the europa league, and the final round of group games. arsenal have confirmed their place in the last 16, after finishing as group winners, thanks to a 1—0 win over zurich at the emirates. look at this striek from kieren tierney, scoring the only goal of the game in the first half. the visitors had a late goal disallowed for off—side. manchester united will have to go through the play—off round, if they're to reach the last 16. they beat real sociedad i—o courtesy of alejandro garnacho's goal, but they finish second in their group behind the spanish side on goal difference. you want to always be number one. and when we are not, we are disappointed about it. but finally, it we have to say that it was a clean sheet tonight. we have to score more goals — but finally, it is what it is. west ham beat fcsb 3—0

in romania, in theirfinal europa conference league group game. david moyes' side had already qualified for the last 16 as group winners and sent out a young side, but it was the experienced pablo fornals who gave west ham the lead. it was a night divin mubama will remember — the 18—year—old helped make it 2—0 on his first team debut. it was later confirmed as an own goal, though. fornals then claimed his second of the night and west ham's third. they played six, won six in their group — they were already out of the competition before theirfinal group game against istanbul basaksehir tonight, announced his retirement. barcelona defender gerard pique, who had a four—year spell at manchester united, will stop playing after

barca's league game at the nou camp this weekend. during his time at the club, the 35—year—old's played more than 600 matches and won 30 trophies — including eight la liga titles, three champions league's, as well as a world cup and european championship with spain. he says that now all his childhood dreams have come true, it's time to bring this journey to an end. the countdown is on to the men's football world cup — but one of england's most famous female footballers says she's disappointed it's being held in qatar. the gulf state's been criticised for its human rights record and for making homosexuality illegal. striker beth mead, who's openly gay, says she can't get behind the tournament being held out there. from the minute it was announced, i thought, it's not the best idea. i think, obviously, the way they think and how they go is the complete opposite to what i believe and respect, and although i am cheering for the boys who are going to play

football there, i still don't think it is the right place, but unfortunately money talks. and the situation even of the stadiums being built and the number of people that have passed because of that, it is not an ideal situation, it's not something that i will be backing or promoting. england have begn the wheelchair rugby league world cup with an impressive win over australia tonight. in front of a world—record crowd for wheelchair rugby league ofjust over 3,000 at the copper box arena, in london, they won 38—8. jack brown here among the players scoring two tries. england, who won it in 2008, are favourites for the title along with the holders france. but there was defeat for ireland in the opening match of the eight—team tournament. all—around final medal

in the artistic gymnastics at the world championships, in liverpool. gadirova had been part of the british squad who claimed team silver, and the dublin—born 18—year—old followed that with a fine effort this evening to take bronze behind brazil's rebeca andrade and america's shylesejones. gadirova's team—mate alice kinsella finished fourth. at the t20 world cup, pakistan have kept their slim semi—final hopes alive after beating south africa at the sydney cricket ground. pakistan launched a recovery after being 48 for four — with iftikhar ahmed hitting the biggest six of the tournament, 106 metres over the leg—side. they posted 185—9, and then took regular wickets to deny south africa in a chase shortened by rain. pakistan won by 33 runs on the dls method, and it means they can still qualify for the semi—finals.

it's coming from the team element and our captain tojust it's coming from the team element and our captain to just express yourself, nothing else. because we can't control everything, so we just think about that and... but still, we carried him for the last year, and we know that he has the potential to do these types of things. so i'm happy for him and, moreover, i'm happy because we won, so it's good. and that's all your sport for now. from me and all the team, goodnight. good evening. heavy rain caused some flooding through parts of southeast england and south wales through thursday morning. in fact, some parts of southeast england saw around a half to three quarters of their normal november rainfall for the entire month in less than just 2a hours. as we head into the evening, though,

we've got that heavy rain pulling away towards the near continent. and now a rash of heavy, thundery downpours across parts of wales and the southwest. a brisk wind with it as well pushing in from the northwest, and those thundery downpours edging eastwards along the channel through the early hours. elsewhere across the uk, thanks to this ridge of high pressure moving in, actually, a lot of dry weather with some clear skies, but it does mean a chilly start for some on friday, certainly through scotland, with the towns and cities of the central belt of scotland down close to freezing, if not subzero. further south, a cool start. and whilst it is a chilly start to friday, it's a dry and fine start. some sunshine around. a few showers across the highlands and islands of scotland, drifting south in towards the north of england. still a brisk wind across the far north of scotland and the northern isles. elsewhere, though, through much of northern ireland, wales and the rest of england, it's, well, a dry and fine day. some spells of sunshine. looking ahead towards this weekend, we've got low pressure out in the atlantic, sending weather fronts our way. that means there will be some rain

at times and some showers, too. and certainly looking at saturday, you can see we've got this weather front working its way west to east across the country during the day, bringing cloud and some outbreaks of rain. brightening up across northern ireland, the west of scotland, in towards parts of west wales. but elsewhere through england, it's cloudy with showery outbreaks of rain. and then as we head into saturday evening, saturday night — bonfire night — plenty of events happening. and for many parts of the country, it should well be dry with some clear spells. breezy with showers in the northwest, staying rather cloudy, with some rain at times, in the east and southeast. looking ahead towards sunday, and once again, quite windy. pushing in from the southwest, a number of showers and some heavy rain in the southeast taking a time to clear. we could see some big waves around western coasts as well. generally dry through parts of scotland, the northeast in particular, with some sunshine and temperatures once again 12—14 celsius. so, on saturday, rain tracking east through the course of the day, drier by bonfire night for many,

unsettled on sunday.
