at monday's fixtures where katie walsh could be available for england as they take on nigeria in their round of 16 game while co—hosts australia play denmark. but with the usa, yet another heavyweight to go out the draw has opened up for the european champions who are now the outright favourites to win. .. but the england coach sarina wiegman says they're taking nothing for granted... wa nt to want to beat us and that is nothing new. but in this tournament i think you see that the game is developing quick leave. the games are very competitive so the earlier question, no—one can be complacent because it is inappropriate to be complacent because it is very tight. the new football season in england has so far been different for one big reason — a lot of injury time. the community shield at wembley was no different

with arsenal beating manchester city after a penalty shootout they forced with a ioist minute goal. the treble winners had only led from the 77th minute through cole palmer who had come on as a substitute replacing erling haaland. then came leandro trossard's equaliser in the 11th minute of injury time and via two deflections. in the shoot out fabio vieira converted the decisive spot kick after both kevin de bruyne and rodri had missed to give arsenal the first trophy of the new season. the trophy in wembley against the best in the world and the way that we have done it. it is encouraging and we have had some great moments in the game. unfortunately when you do not pull them away you know what can happen and we had an error in midfield and in the next second the ball is in the back of the net and that is a difficult game to play. but we made the right choices and the

formation change helped and we kept some momentum there and allowed to win the game. tottenham hotspur manager ange postecoglou told bayern munich only one deadline mattered in their bid to sign harry kane after the england captain scored four goals in a 5—1 pre—season friendly win at home to shakhtar donetsk on sunday. kane has entered the final 12 months of his six—year spurs contract and has been courted aggressively by bayern who are reported to have lodged their latest bid for the forward on friday while setting a self—imposed deadline of midnight. we know there is you know, look, i am in open dialogue with harry and the club on a regular basis. i said to them if the status quo has changed then informed me. i do not need to know about the comings and
2:51 am
goings in between because i just want to deal with what is in front of me. bryson dechambeau became the fourth player on a top—level tour to shoot 58 on sunday, making birdie on his last four holes to comfortably win the latest event on the liv tour. it's his first title in the series this and came at a rain—softened greenbrier. the former us open champion holed a 35—foot putt on the par—318th to card his lowest ever score for a round. it was 12 under on a par 70 course. dechambeau finished at 23—under for a six—shot victory over mito pereira, earning the $4 million winners' prize. i have been was going to come at some point ijust did not know when. the way i played, the first round was pretty much the first round was pretty much the worst i could have done in
2:52 am
the worst i could have done in the second round was, ok, obviously played well and made a lot of good parts and today everything kind of clicked. to the world cycling championships in glasgow... where the highlight on sunday was a dramatic men's road race won by matthieu van der poel. the event was held up for almost an hour after environmental protesters glued themselves to the road. police made five arrests. the race ended with 10 laps around glasgow, rain made the conditions treacherous and caught out van der poel. but the dutchman got back up and actually increased his lead, crossing the line a minute and a half ahead of wout van aert, with tadej pogacar third. i don't be a course this very often but i felt very good, actually and i felt confident as well. there is only one rider who can win and the chances are small rather than big but i made it today so that is quite nice. australia have won the netball world cup beating england 61—45 in cape town

the final moments by her italian rival. but after a season affected by illness she was still delighted with her performance. italy's success continued with simone ballard digging up and sixth gold—medal this evening. in the relay and in the 50 metres reese —— freestyle where he broke his world record. it is a special and perfect way to close these terms. i could not ask for a better ending and it is very satisfying. i won six gold last year but i was not expecting to replicate that this year so it puts me in a good position because of the training we have done so far is working and we will see you next year. i am curious to see what i can do. these will championships were a key marker ahead of the olympics next year and has set “p olympics next year and has set up for some very exciting races in france. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website — that's bbc. co. uk/sport.

from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello. well, i have got some good news for you. the weather outlook for most of us this week isn't looking too bad at all. and as promised, it is going to turn warmer for all of us. but it may not last that long. let's have a look at the big picture across the atlantic. and here's the jet stream, that current of wind, the weather systems, the rain here. and notice how by thursday, the jet stream takes on the shape of a ridge, which means it allows the warmer air to stream in from the south. but let's have a look at the short term. and this is the satellite picture — we're in between weather systems, the gap in the clouds here, so some clear spells through the early hours, and then this smaller area of low pressure will be
2:56 am
a bit of a fly in the ointment, i think, for the beginning of the week through monday and into tuesday. so here's the forecast, then, through the early hours. for most of us, it's dry, a few showers in the north and the northwest. but as i say, sunny spells, if not even clear blue skies in one or two parts of the country. now, through the morning, into the afternoon, the cumulus clouds will bubble up and we will see showers developing. but i think they will be well scattered and most of us will miss the showers. but you might catch one or two, particularly across the north of the country. temperatures between 17—21 celsius. now, here's that rather small area of low pressure, but the winds are coming in from the south—west, which means it's relatively humid air. so turning quite murky in the south—west late on monday, perhaps drizzly and wet. there is that small weather system here. if anything, this meansjust a fair amount of cloud across the uk during the course of tuesday. also, the humidity will rise — it will feel quite muggy out there. so, cloudy, maybe damp at times with a bit of rain across the south, with sunny spells, too. but the best of the weather — northern half of the uk. so, sunshine for newcastle and glasgow on tuesday. temperatures in the high teens. and then the weather really does improve on wednesday. i think broken cloud with some sunny spells,
2:57 am
a generally dry day. the winds are coming in from the south. the temperatures are rising widely into the 20s across the uk, mid 20s in the southeast and the south. and i think by thursday, we could be hitting the high 20s. but as i say, it's not going to last for that long because by the weekend in the northwest of the country, guess what? showers and strengthening winds.
