hours after it announced elections would be delayed for another two years. two us astronauts stranded in space for months say it was hard to watch their faulty craft depart the international space station without them, but they are trained to "expect the unexpected". now on bbc news, it's sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday this saturday night, with me chetan pathak, coming up on the programme. a day to remember for nottingham forest and their fans at anfield — as liverpool are beaten for the first time this season. america on top — team usa hold off europe to maintain their lead at the solheim cup.

a bad day in baku for britain's lando norris as his formula one title hopes suffer a blow in qualifying for the azerbaijan grand prix. also coming up on sportsday before seven... red roses in bloom — england make it 17 matches unbeaten as they see of the world champions new zealand. and defending champions somerset beat surrey to reach the t20 blast final — we'll have the latest from edgbaston as they take on gloucestershire. welcome along, thank you forjoining us. we start with the shock of the season so far in the premier league — liverpool's winning start under new manager arne slot has come to a crashing end thanks

to an outstanding performance from nottingham forest who've got their first win at anfield in over 55 years. joyous celebrations for manager nuno espirito santo and his team at the end as forest tasted victory here for the first time since february 1969. substitue callum hudson—odoi with a brilliant finish close to 20 minutes from time. liverpool failed to take their chances — full credit to forest who were disciplined at the back and grew in confidence as the game went on, sealing a famous win. as soon as the final whistle blew you could tell everyone was buzzing, to do it after 55 years is a crazy long time and i'm certainly happy with that now. and the fans were amazing come up for the whole for the whole game they were buzzing, they were delighted. the whole club itself, the fans, everybody is up so we are going to keep going,

keep working on it every we faced a really well organised at nottingham forest and we — organised at nottingham forest and we have a lot of problems to go— and we have a lot of problems to go to — and we have a lot of problems to go to find moments from a lot of— to go to find moments from a lot of luck, from their perspective, well done, from our perspective we have to do better— our perspective we have to do better on _ our perspective we have to do better on a block like this. so there is only one 1% record in the premier league — and that is manchester city's. they've made it four wins from four after coming from behind to beat brentford at the etihad — yet again erling haaland the man to thank. yoann wissa gave the visitors a suprise lead in the opening minute of the game but the norweigian scored twice in the first—half to make it 2—1. haaland was looking to become the first player to score three—hat tricks in a row in the english top flight but his two strikes mean city are three points clear at the top. i'm a i'm a big fan, a big fan from brentford how they do for many many years, because they play long balls but they have the

ability to play the keeper, making build—ups and they have a speed, set piece in every action is well—managed and that's why i give a lot of credit to my players, a lot. i prefer in that to win in that way it come as we need it, we need this much better. a combination of extremely disappointed that we didn't get something out of this game because _ something out of this game because i think we have performed to it, on the other side — performed to it, on the other side extremely proud. i think we all— side extremely proud. i think we all overall played a better game — we all overall played a better game today compared to the win we had _ game today compared to the win we had two years ago and at first— we had two years ago and at first the _ we had two years ago and at first the first 25 minutes were world—class, then city 08. after going into the international break with a heavy defeat to liverpool — manchester united got the win they needed today. it could have been different if southampton had taken advantage of a golden opportunity in the first half — but as things turned out, it was comfortable for the visitors in the end on the south coast as

when you manage manchester united, everyone's watching you and yet you're alone. erik ten hag knew the calm wouldn't last. promoted southampton sought to add to his problems. penalty. what a moment for the saints and for cameron archer. but he gets down to save it around andre onana's right arm. the match seemed to pivot. 2.5 minutes later, it swung into the path of matthijs de ligt, defender and for the first time, a united goal scorer, something marcus rashford had not been since march. but he's been doing extra training. rashford goes low and rashford finds the corner! all aiming towards something like this. united had control, jeopardy now formality. all too much of a stretch for southampton. that challenge ended jack stephens afternoon and his team's chances. they were already condemned to a fourth league defeat in a row when united opened them up one last time. alejandro garnacho made it three goals, three points and for the boss, a few days.

and for the boss, a few days peace at least. patrick geary, bbc news. the start was not easy, also some credit, they were very energetic but i think the penalty was the turnaround in the game and then not so far after we scored a goal but i think it was very important, from that moment on that game was all ours. we were still in the game and i felt we were getting into it more, and then we had a man sent off and then it becomes almost impossible to try and claw it back and then it is about avoiding too much damage, i think. the mentality was great into the 96th minute, we let someone the box, i'm annoyed about that. but there is much to be positive about today. frustration for leicester city tonight — who've been denied theirfirst win since being back in the premier league after crystal palace came from two goals down to snatch a point at selhurst park. jean—philippe mateta had yet to score in the premier league this season. but his second of the day,

a 92nd minute penalty ensured it finished two—two against leicester who took the lead throuthamie vardy in the first half. both sides have two points from their first four games. it feels a disappointing result. but i'm not going to be narrow—minded, i don't want to be saying this every week but i'm not going to be narrow—minded enough to see there was a lot of good in the game, we got to stick together and use these games as reference points, i really want to see the angle of the obvious image of the offside come but that's going to be a bit of questioning privately. i really want to see the image where they said that was definitely offside and if it is, i'll be fine with that. and at the moment, we've got a few questions to ask the premier league. everybody saw that we can create _ everybody saw that we can create good moments against the deeper— create good moments against the deeper team, create good moments against the deeperteam, and the

create good moments against the deeper team, and the first hatfm _ deeper team, and the first half... second—half supplements to leicester, blocking many shots. _ to leicester, blocking many shots, then we kept going, we had great _ shots, then we kept going, we had great support from the stand — had great support from the stand and we take the point and see it _ stand and we take the point and see it as— stand and we take the point and see it as a — stand and we take the point and see it as a very good place for now — there was late drama at craven cottage too — where west ham scored deep in stoppage time to draw one all with fulham. danny ings with the equaliser in the 95th minute — having come off the bench not too long before. fulham had lead from the 24th minute thanks to rauljimenez but had to settle for a point in the end. second—half i think we did better, we have been better than them, although the only first 35 minutes, we didn't score and it was a good moment but we keep we believe until the end, we ran out of chances but 0k, we are happy but in the

same way we have to improve things. we we re we were the best team on the pitch, ithink the pitch, i think with the changes— the pitch, i think with the changes we improved, we started to control— changes we improved, we started to control again game, and the chances — to control again game, and the chances being more clinical, we should — chances being more clinical, we should have cleared the point these — should have cleared the point these game beaks clearly we deserve _ these game beaks clearly we deserve and we were the best team — deserve and we were the best team on— deserve and we were the best team on the pitch. brighton's unbeaten start to the season continues. but they couldn't find a way past newly promoted ipswich. following a goalless draw at the amex stadium. the visitors had their goalkeeper to thank — arijanet muric was sent home early from the kosovo squad last week for an alleged breach of their rules but was outstanding today — pulling off a number of saves that ensured ipswich got their second point of the season. brighton are third, a point behind liverpool. we did everything to win the game so we had enough chance to win the game, we defended good enough to win this game so in the end, i'm happy with the performance and i'm satisfied with the performance. of course

we don't get the result we want but long term i'm sure it when you have this performance it will pay off. we know we are going to have to really _ we know we are going to have to really fight to pick up points, and try— really fight to pick up points, and try to _ really fight to pick up points, and try to develop our style of play _ and try to develop our style of play in — and try to develop our style of play in the toughest league in the world, it's a step in the right— the world, it's a step in the right direction but it's only a step — right direction but it's only a step. we've got our first training _ step. we've got our first training week with the group hext — training week with the group next week, first time we've had the whole — next week, first time we've had the whole group together especially boys who came in late — especially boys who came in late the _ especially boys who came in late. the training week next week, — late. the training week next week, build on the stuff we are feeling — week, build on the stuff we are feeling in — week, build on the stuff we are feeling in the games and we 'ust feeling in the games and we just need to get stronger. here'a look then at saturday's premier league results in full... forest's win at anfield the standout scoreline — manchester city and manchester united the only sides ending with a win after the international break. everton without a point so far this season are away at aston villa. into the second half it's currently 2—1. and this is how things look at the top

of the premier league... manchester city up... we've got that north london derby tomorrow as arsenal will go to tottenham. meanwhile in the bottom half... you can see full held in the they find themselves ahead of spurs, chelsea will play later, they will go to bournemouth, more and to come. southampton so far the only team without a point, this is as it stands stable, we've given everton three for an that's what they're set to get if they can hold on at villa park. enzo maresca says his concern is only on matters on the pitch ahead of his sides match at bournemouth, which kicks off at eight o clock tonight. there've been reports of a rift among the club's ownership but the chelsea boss says he's

not getting distracted by it. i think the three premier league games we played is still that we concede goals, but it's also true that we achieve goals against palace, against city we don't concede chance against city. so i think we are in the right direction. and this is for me the most important thing and to think that i can control. there are some similarities, i think— there are some similarities, i think would love to those of the players, it's going to be a difficult — the players, it's going to be a difficult game for us, tactically also we have to prepare _ tactically also we have to prepare for a lot of different options. _ prepare for a lot of different options, for me they've played realty. — options, for me they've played really, really well. they are going — really, really well. they are going to _ really, really well. they are going to be very good. the season— going to be very good. the season i_ going to be very good. the season i think they've lost against _ season i think they've lost against city only and i think it witt—

against city only and i think it will be _ against city only and i think it will be a very difficult game _ it will be a very difficult game for us. burnley had lost on seven of their previous nine visits to elland road — but got the win they needed in the championship today as leeds suffered their first defeat of the season. the only goal of the game came midway through the first half at elland road, luca koliosho making the most of a slip to break away and fire past the keeper, what a goal from the teenager. they ended the game with ten men after a sending off deep in stoppage time. the win means they're third. while luton town have got their first win of the season at millwall, thanks to an unlikely goal—scorer — defender teden mengi's effort from outside the area giving rob edwards' side the three points. wayne rooney's got his first championship win as plymouth argyle head coach — and that against the leaders sunderland thanks to a stoppage time goal. joe edwards scoring in the 93rd minute to end sunderland's hundred percent start to the season. blackburn are second, just a point behind them, after a 3—0 win over bristol city. there were also wins for oxford, derby and swansea city.

one all draws at the riverside, hillsborough and at vicarage road. it's five win from five for celtic who are still top of the scottish premiership tonight after a 2—0 win at home to hearts arne engels and luke mccowan both scoring their first goals for the club. aberdeen are still level on points with celtic after a 2—1 win at home to motherwell. elsewhere there were wins for hibernian and ross county, while st mirren and kilmarnock drew 2—all next tonight — to virgina, where the united states remain on top on day two of the solheim cup — with plenty of work for europe to do if they're to retain the trophy for a record fourth time. let's cross to our golf correspondent ian carter who's there for us. good evening, ian. they started

the day 6—2 and front and then after this morning 's foursomes, they maintained that four—point lead. yes foursomes, they maintained that four-point lead.— four-point lead. yes they did, it was more — four-point lead. yes they did, it was more encouraging - four-point lead. yes they did, it was more encouraging for. four-point lead. yes they did, i it was more encouraging for the europeans this morning, they had the initiative and three of the four matches and much of the four matches and much of the session but in the end nellie came through in the tottenham match and that was a vital point for the americans. a crucially meant that the session was chaired to point apiece, 8—1; in favour of the americans heading into the afternoon, for balls and they are going well for the home side because for the first three matches are in their favour, allison lee who held a brilliant second shot, alongside megan kang, they are one up through second holes. in the second match, andrea lee took after five and the americans also head and the

third match, allie ewing and lexie thompson one up after four. the only match where your core leaning was charlie hall and her great friend georgia hall, they were ahead against allison and lilia, they levelled up the third so that match all square. this is a vital session here if the europeans have any chance of defending the trophy, they need to get something from it but at the moment they are down in three of the matches.- three of the matches. plenty of work to d0- _ three of the matches. plenty of work to do. we'll _ three of the matches. plenty of work to do. we'll leave - three of the matches. plenty of work to do. we'll leave it - work to do. we'll leave it there, ian carter in virginia, thank you. rory mcilroy will take a one shot lead into the final round of the irish open the four time major winner started with an eagle and went on to make birdies at the seventh and thirteenth to edge ahead of italy's matteo manassero. thirteenth to edge ahead of italy's matteo manassero. mcilroy�*s on six under overall, with a group of four players — including england'sjordan smith and scotland's robert macintyre — three shots further back. next to what was a bad day in baku for lando norris and his hopes of catching

max verstappen in the race for the formula one world title. it's ferrari's charles leclerc who'll start tomorrow's azerbaijan grand prix on pole — as max verstappen qualified sixth, and lando norris 17th — initally. norris' trying to close a 62—point gap to verstappen over the final eight races of the year, but faces a difficult race tomorrow as nick parrott reports. if lando noris looked close to tears, it's little wonder. after being promised preferential treatment by his team, his hopes of catching championship leader max. and should have been boosted, but bad luck bit in baku, the frenchman slowed down for the rest of his lap but coming up fast behind him was noris who saw a yellow warning flag and backed off, that in this mistake were enough to condemn the british driver to 17th on the british driver to 17th on the grid. i the british driver to 17th on the rid. . , , the british driver to 17th on the grid-— the grid. i had plenty of chances _ the grid. i had plenty of chances but _ the grid. i had plenty of chances but i'm - the grid. i had plenty of chances but i'm not - the grid. i had plenty of - chances but i'm not expecting

so and there's a lot of cars behind who are low down force which will be pretty much impossible to ever overtake, i'm not expecting it from 17th but i will put in a good plan tonight and we'll do our best of course, but... i don't know what's going to happen, so we willjust have to wait and see. fortunately for him, for step and wasn't having a great date either, the dutchman will start from sixth. either, the dutchman will start from sixth-— from sixth. from the first lap i did not qualify _ from sixth. from the first lap i did not qualify i _ from sixth. from the first lap i did not qualify i wasn't - i did not qualify i wasn't happy— i did not qualify i wasn't happy with the car and ijust tried — happy with the car and ijust tried to _ happy with the car and ijust tried to drive around it but yeah _ tried to drive around it but yeah. when you're not confident and comfortable with the car, on the — and comfortable with the car, on the street circuit, you cannot— on the street circuit, you cannot push to the limit and i think— cannot push to the limit and i think that's basically what happened, as soon as it matters people _ happened, as soon as it matters people start risking more. i just— people start risking more. i just didn't feel comfortable to attack — just didn't feel comfortable to attack. �*5 just didn't feel comfortable to attack. �* ,, , ., ., ., attack. '5 tree showed lando noris what — attack. '5 tree showed lando noris what he _ attack. '5 tree showed lando noris what he could've - attack. '5 tree showed lando| noris what he could've done, claiming a place on the front road. ahead of him lies paradox. back in for the fourth yearin paradox. back in for the fourth year in a row, the variety driver says he loves the track

but he is yet to win the azerbaijan grand prix. he's hoping he can change that tomorrow. nick parrott, bbc news. so here's how they'll line up for the race. ferrari have carlos sainz in third. sergio perez outqualified his red bull team mate max verstappen for the first time this season to claim fourth. george russell is the highest placed british driver in fifth. injust his second formula one race franco colapinto beat his williams team mate alex albon. and in the last hour pierre gasly has been disqualified for an issue with the fuel flow on his alpeen. that drops him to the bottom of the grid and moves norris up a place to sixteenth. oliver bearman, who drove his first race for ferrari in march was with haas this time round and got the better of his very experienced team mate nico hulkenberg. but the briton felt he'd have done better had he not crashed in final practice before qualifying. i was really lucky to getting

the gear too, because that was the gear too, because that was the double yellow which i lost a lot of time with. but luckily, ijust scraped through and really was on the limit to get into 03 if it wasn't for the mistake i made in that section it would have been. so yeah, quite disappointed in myself coming up for qualifying but more for the fp3 where i lost a lot of laps and experience. time now for some of the day's other sport stories and the final classic of the season — the st ledger was dominated by the irish trainer aidan o'brien who had first and second as the favourite 'yan broy—gal�* just edged out his stablemate illinois in a brilliant finish at doncaster. britain's sonay kartal is set for a new career—high ranking after reaching her first wta tour semi—final. kartal beat ukraine's yuliia starodutseva at the jasmin open. the british numberfour, reached the third round of wimbledon earlier this year and her run in tunisia means she'll move inside the world's top 130. and dutch sprinter lorena

veebers was the strongest rider in the field, on the uphill finish at the women's road race in the european cycling championships in in belgium to win her second european title. england justified their tag of favourites ahead of next years women's rugby world cup with a comprehensive 2a points to 12 victory over new zealand at the newly renamed allianz stadium. it was the first match at the ground since twickenham's naming rights were sold. england have won their last 17 matches with their last defeat coming against new zealand at the 2022 world cup. jo currie reports. the next instalment in a bitter rivalry, the world number ones, this is the world champion. in a year's time, this stadium will host the world cup final.

out of steam as karis pavely took three wickets on her t20 debut — england winning by 67 runs despite a fighting 50 from orla pendergast. somerset are taking on gloucestershire in the final of the t20 blast competition at edgbaston we'll bring you the latest in a moment the semi finals were played earlier today and in the first match somerset restricted surrey to 153 for nine with captain lewis gregory taking three wickets. somerset lost three early wickets but sean dickson and james rew then took charge — sharing a match winning stand of 144. dickson was eventually out for 78 but gregory came in to steer the defending champions into the final for the third time in four years. gloucestershire won their semifinal in style — three wickets each for matt taylor and tom smith helped bowl out sussex forjust 106. gloucestershire only

needed 12 overs to reach their victory target — and only lost two wickets on the way. james bracey hit the winning runs to finish on 49 not out so the final is something of a west country derby. gloucestershire won the toss and chose to bowl. it's early days. somerset are into the third of their 20 overs. a few moments ago they were 22 without loss. that's all from sportsday. a reminder of our top story, hudson under way scoring a incredible when, at fort nottingham forest, theirfirst nottingham forest, their first win nottingham forest, theirfirst win there since 1969. top of the premier league thanks for victory over brentford, you are seeing a happy forest side there, i can tell you from the corner of my eye everton have been pegged back at villa, it's villa, too, everton, too. we'll bring you the result of that

match and sports day in just over half an hour, but that's it for me and the team on sports day. have a good night. hello there. well, we have had a chilly run of weather for the last few days for the time of year. we started off with a patch or two of frost, even into parts of east anglia saturday morning. but then plenty of sunshine for england and wales, and temperatures lifted to 20 in both east anglia and the south—east. for scotland and northern ireland though, all this cloud worked in, and that was associated with a weather front that brought outbreaks of rain and some quite strong gusts of wind into western areas of scotland, some rough seas there in tiree. now, the same area of low pressure is slow moving to the north of scotland. our weather front pushes the band of rain across into parts of northern england, north wales overnight — the rain quite patchy at times here. a few showers for the north—west of scotland, staying dry towards the south where it's going

to be quite cold. temperatures down to around four degrees in the coldest rural areas. for sunday, our weather front still with us across central portions of the uk. another one will begin to move into scotland through the day. so this band of rain, quite weak, quite light and patchy, really, through the day for northern england and north wales, not really moving very fast so it will be damp here. a band of heavier rain works its way from west to east across scotland with some sunshine following, and towards the south and east it should stay largely dry and sunny once again. temperatures here climbing to about 20 celsius, which is 68 in fahrenheit. heading into the start of the new week, we see an area of high pressure build right over the top of the uk, and this is going to bring quite a lengthy spell of dry and settled weather. now on monday, most areas will see sunshine from the word go, but there could be some cloud and a bit of drizzle left over from that weak weather front first thing in the south. that will clear away with time, and then most of us will have a dry day. plenty of sunshine around, temperatures high teens to low 20s once again. perhaps a little bit cooler than that though, for the very far north of scotland.

but as our area of high pressure re—orientates a little bit, we'll see some of the warmest air going into the mainland of scotland through tuesday, boosting the temperatures here. a chance for a few showers for the scottish islands for a time, but otherwise it's a fine day. any early morning mist and fog patches lifting with sunshine through most of the day. temperatures hitting about 22 in the warmest spots in scotland, otherwise about 18 to 21. feeling pleasant in that september sunshine, and there's more of that sunshine to come as we delve deeper into the week, with just a chance of a few showers developing later in the week across parts of england and wales.
