but it's far from dull at the emirates. hello there. so, we're starting with golf and after a thrilling finale in andalucia, europe retained the solheim cup. home favourite carlota ciganda turned her match around for the crucial point to make it all square at 14—14 with the united states. and because europe were already the holders they keep the famous trophy. jane dougall reports from the finca cortesin course. this weekend has just been a rollercoaster, hasn't it? it is a cliche, but it is true. it started with

the terrible morning with a loss of all four matches in the nearby back the afternoon and yesterday managing to draw level with the usa so they could go into the singles day at 8—8. at one point it looked like the us were going to win, didn't it? because the board was just red. but then a scriptwriter in hollywood could not have written it any better, the homegrown spaniard, carlota ciganda, to putt, to retain the solheim cup and she did it. it was amazing. let's hear from some of the members of the team, starting with the captain. nerve—racking again. it comes down to one march, one putt, free to come down to carlota, in spain, at home, could not be better. i think it isjust meant to be, it comes down to carlota and she isjust so good. i'm in spain playing - the solheim cup, happy to be part of this amazing team. the captain, vice captains, everyone did a greatjob. i

just very happy to stay - here in front of my home crowd, family, friends, something they want for them. - it is undescribable. i think a regular event will be pretty boring now. i will miss those cheers. it was fun today. i know it is never over until it is over. that is the fight i put on today. i am just really proud of myself right now. we had the best, absolutelyl the best team on this planet. these girls play with the heart and soul and i could not - be more proud. what a comeback. and what a sunday. a little exclusive, suzann pettersson was asked in the media room if she was going to be captain next year and she said yes. there was a round of applause from her team members immediately after that. they'll be proud to play with her again, particularly after she delivered on her first year of being asked. i suspect there is going to be a party tonight here in southern spain and i think it's actually already begun. i'd bet it has. jane dougall reporting

for us there. next to the rugby world cup, where wales became the first side through to the quarter—finals after their biggest ever win over australia — 40—6 the score in lyon. wales kicked 23 points and scored three tries to secure their last—eight place with a game left to play in pool c. in contrast, australia managed two penalties and are now on the brink of becoming the first australia team to go out in the pool stages. instead, fiji are likely to progress as the second placed team. in the day's other game, scotland kept their hopes of a last eight place alive by seeing off tonga with a bonus—point victory. they scored seven tries in total in nice. the result leaves them third in pool b behind south africa and ireland with one match left to play. only the top two sides make the quarterfinals. now to the football and the premier league where the first north london derby of the season finished 2—2. but it was a cracking game,
2:49 am
arsenal twice taking the lead at the emirates, first through a christian romero own goal and then a bukayo saka penalty. spurs captain son heung—min scored both equalisers for the draw. his team drop to fourth, just above arsenal on goal difference. it is going to be a big part of who we are as a team, having that mentality to feel sorry for ourselves. i think three out of four away we have had where we have had to to come from behind. again, the lads will get encouragement from that. we respect the circumstances of the game, we stick to our principles and be aggressive we can get back and turn the game. today we have that regret. especially that we lacked some composure. to get set and have more passes, we wanted to attack
2:50 am
too quick and too early. we were against so many and we did not do enough with them and with this team we need to be more ruthless. liverpool are up to second in the table after beating west ham at anfield. mo salah gave liverpool the lead with a penalty. jarrod bowen levelled for west ham. that was as good as it got for the hammers though as darwin nunez and diogojota made it 3—1. liverpool extended their unbeaten run to 18 games. today was a really mature performance. and that is super important. because you can be exciting and we are probably in moments exciting, but you need to be really composed, resilience, you need to be solid in moments and i saw all that. newcastle came within a goal of the premier league record with an amazing 8—0 win at the now bottom side sheffield united. any fears of a european hangover following their champions league exertions on tuesday soon vanished as newcastle cruised to victory. incredibly, every goal was
2:51 am
scored by a different player. it was really good. i don't know if it was the complete performance. we will always look and find things we can improve. but a really tough place to come, especially of the back of a european week for us. delighted with the place. it shows that the players were very motivated for the game, they were very hungry for goals and for success. i do think we have got a really motivated group. i see really good character traits through the whole squad. it's a long season for us, we have lots of challenges to come. certainly last week has been a really good return to form for us. after their midweek defeat in the europa league, brighton responded by beating bournemouth 3—1. substitute kaoru mitoma scored twice. brighton are now the premier league's top scorers with 18 goals from their six matches, that's two more than leaders manchester city. we are very happy because we showed big character, big patience, big behaviour.
2:52 am
we wanted the victory, giving our best. it's important. because we can't win every game playing great football. but chelsea's poor start to the season continues, they lost 1—0 at home to aston villa. ollie watkins with the only goal of the game after chelsea had malo gusto sent—off. villa are up to sixth while chelsea remain 14th. disappointed, because, again, we were the better side until the red card. again, a very tough team. disappointed again. disappointed because, ithink, the team gave everything at the moment. 0k, we will need to keep working. elsewhere in europe, the madrid derby went to athletico, who beat
2:53 am
rivals real 3—1. alvaro morata scoring twice for the home side as they inflicted real madrid's first defeat of the season. there was a seven—goal thriller in the match between real sociedad and getafe. 4—3 the final score in san sebastian. real betis against cadiz finished i—i, while las palmas beat granada i—o. a match in the dutch eredivisie had to be abandoned on sunday after flares were thrown on to the pitch. ajax were losing 3—0 at home to defending champions feyenoord when the match was called off ten minutes into the second half. trouble continued afterwards outside thejohan cruyff arena in amsterdam. dutch riot police had to use tear gas to try to clear the crowd. ajax have won just once in their four other games this season. max verstappen is on the verge of a third world title as he cruised to his 13th victory of the year at the japanese grand prix. verstappen�*s victory helped his red bull team secure the constructors�* title with six races to spare which is an f1 record.
2:54 am
the result also means verstappen will be crowned world champion if he wins in qatar in a fortnight. joining him on the podium were the mclarens of lando norris and oscar piastri. ethiopia's tigist assefa has shattered the women's marathon world record by more than two minutes, with a stunning victory in berlin. assefa ran it in two hours 11 minutes 53 seconds to eclipse the mark previously set by kenya's brigid kosgei four years ago. eliud kipchoge won the men's race for the fifth time, but he couldn't break his own record and his time of two hours, two minutes, and 42 seconds was more than a minute and a half off the record he set in berlin last year. that is it from me. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app orfrom our website — that's bbc.co.uk/sport. a reminder of the top story. europe have retained

the solheim cup. they drew to keep the trophy because they were already the oldest. in the rugby world cup, wales are in the quarterfinals. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello. while most of the we will be a story of sunshine and showers, we could see some stormier weather wednesday into thursday. more on that in a second. first of all, though, it has been quite windy so far and overnight, strong winds attached to these weather fronts pushing their way eastwards. strongest of the winds will have clipped the northwest of scotland before easing later. that does leave many of us with clear skies into the start of monday, 12—15 degrees. not a cold start by any means. still some cloud and one or two showers in the southeast first thing. that will clear through. some heavier showers across central western scotland, northern ireland through the morning rush hour and potentially again later.
2:56 am
but actually very few showers in the forecast on monday. even if you do see a shower, it should be a fleeting one. only one or two in your day. for many, especially across england and wales, the day will be dry, 17—22 celsius. nice enough in the sunshine. the breeze will still remain a little bit on the fresh side in the west and strengthen further as we go through the night and into tuesday morning. some showers and thunderstorms pushing out of northern france into southern counties of england and a small chance into some southeastern parts of wales, too. a little bit cooler than monday morning. but for tuesday itself, we're being drawn in this weather front to the west and this one will work its way across many parts of england first thing in the morning, again, risk of showers and thunderstorms short lived and then fewer showers, a lot more in the way of dry weather, but some fairly frequent and heavier showers for northern ireland during the morning and more particularly across scotland through the afternoon in the sunshine between the showers. second, temperatures like monday around 16—22 celsius. but as you go into the middle part of the week, all eyes are on this developing area of low pressure, potentially quite stormy
2:57 am
one rattling its way in through wednesday and into wednesday night. let me show you how things develop on wednesday, because it's going to be quite a bright start, dry start, quiet start for many. but cloud increases from the south and west. the rain starts to push in and with it, widespread gales developing as we go through the afternoon and into the evening. temperatures on the cool side where the winds are strongest in the north. 0k. the position of that area of low pressure open a bit of question at this stage. but at the moment, it does look like we could see later wednesday into wednesday night worse the winds around some irish sea coast and then later into parts of southern scotland and northeast england. the area of low pressure with it taking that rain northwards. pretty stormy night wednesday night into thursday. and as we start thursday, even though things turn quieter, there could be some residual damage and travel disruption. take care.
