leaders manchester city. patrick gearey reports. when tottenham play arsenal, even the mascots can't be friends. these two neighbours have been in a thorny tangle for more than a century. pent up for more than a century. pent up then released for wild energy. he might have snuck spurs ahead early, he saved arsenal. on the other end, doing the same for tottenham, denying chai habits. the arsenal boss was without two of his key midfielders, but despite that vulnerability, they could still call on one mighty strength. no premier league side from set pieces since the start of last season. their weapon is also spurs we get neck weakness. their enterprise brought little profit. like his team, ultimately wayward, and for his third season in a row, they beat them where it hurts the most. , ., , .,

yet, we were able to get over the top of them. newcastle have moved up to third in the premier league after coming from behind to win 2—1 at wolves. having seen fabian schar equalise with a deflected shot, harvey barnes curling in a superb winner — his second gaol in as many games. newcastle remain unbeaten this season, while wolves remain winless. west bromwich albion have moved to the top of the championship. they beat portsmouth three nil at fratton park. the league's top scorer — josh maja opened the scoring after just 53 seconds for the baggies, that's his fifth of the season. alex mowatt then doubled albion�*s advantage early in the second half with this brilliant finish. he then got his second in injury time with this free kick. carlos coberan�*s side move above sunderland to take top spot with their fourth win in five , whilst pompey

usa are looking to close out victory in the solheim cup, leading 10—6, they only need four and half points from the 12 singles matches today , but europe are making things interesting. charley hull put in an incredible performance in the opening match. she beat world number one nelly korda six and four in a statement win to take the first point of the day, georgia hall also won her match. but the americans answered straight back with megan khang. she thrashed emily pedersen six and five and with further wins for rose zhang and allisen corpuz the usa edged closer to their victory target. europe are still fighting but usa currently only need another point and a half for victory. the americans haven't won the trophy since 2017 whilst europe are looking for a record fourth win in a row. it's tight but they still need

something of a miracle here. on the dp world tour, rory mcilroy narrowly missed out on winning the irish open. the northern irishman was the overnight leader at royal county down but rasmus hojgaard made six birdies on the back nine to shoot 65 and post nine under par in the clubhouse. mcilroy had a chance to force a play—off on the 18th but his eagle putt narowly missed meaning hojgaard took victory by a single stroke. mcilroy is yet to claim a professional win on home soil it was a good day for mclaren at the azerbaijan grand prix. oscar piastri's second win of the season helped the british team overtake red bull in the constructors' championship.and lando norris is still pushing max verstappen in the driver's championship, finishing fourth, ahead of the dutchman to cut his lead to 59 points with seven races to go. nick parrott reports. lando noris started the day expecting to lose in the title

race. by the end of its term of the release he hadn't was clear. the briton started from 15th in the back after suffering in the qualifying. overtaking is difficult on these street circuits, but getting past fellow britain on the eighth flap put him into the eighth flap put him into the points position withjust two laps to go the different strategy he was on finally saw him catch championship leader max for stepan. he was now up to sixth, but fate was about to help him a frantic a—way battle for the race when exploded for ferrari, he got too close to the red bull racer. fortunately, only their egos were bruised. oscar took the chequered flag ahead of charlotte claire, they saw mclaren take the lead in the constructed championship, with seven races to go, they will be hoping noris can still win the drivers title. nick parrot, bbc news. what a drive from lando norris,

to keep him in the hunt for the drivers title. let's get some reaction to the race in baku, i'm happy for him. therefore the whole team because a win is always an amazing thing. better from where he started and not what we are expecting today, so it's what we were hoping to do the car was amazing today that gives us a lot of confidence going into the next few races. ireland have won the final t20 against england in dublin to draw the series 1—all. they restricted england to 169 from their 20 overs with orla prendergast taking two wickets. she starred with the vat as well, making 80 as ireland got home with a ball to spare.

against canada in manchester, but they fell at the first hurdle, dan evans was unable to recoverfrom his poor start against denis shapovalov — he lost the first set 6—love and the second 7—5. the win means that canada qualify for the 8 team finals in malaga in november, along with argentina from this group. evans made hsi davis cup debut 15 years ago, and at 3a, that might be have been last appearance probably some better players coming in at the minute and but i will have a think and i don't think it's right. in awkward positions because i played x amount of ties, if i don't feel i'm capable of playing, you know, i won't, i'm capable of playing, you know, iwon't, yeah, iwon't come back.

overly competitive, which made for some fans to take a step back from it. i'm delighted to bejoined by our pundit back from it. i'm delighted to be joined by our pundit who has decided to stop playing the season. holly, we will start with you because you are a maths teacher. so how does motherhood plus this equal a new career?— new career? i've spent ten ears new career? i've spent ten years teaching _ new career? i've spent ten years teaching and - new career? i've spent ten years teaching and i - new career? i've spent ten years teaching and i have i new career? i've spent ten - years teaching and i have been playing — years teaching and i have been playing fpl for ten years now as well— playing fpl for ten years now as well but it allowed me to combine _ as well but it allowed me to combine my two big passions in life, _ combine my two big passions in life, maths and football, because i definitely go through fpl with — because i definitely go through fpl with that maths mind, having _ fpl with that maths mind, having a _ fpl with that maths mind, having a look at the underlying numbers— having a look at the underlying numbers the data, the statistics, the expected goals, the algorithm and ai models as well, _ the algorithm and ai models as well, so — the algorithm and ai models as well, so it— the algorithm and ai models as well, so it combines all of that— well, so it combines all of that together to help me to pick— that together to help me to pick the _ that together to help me to pick the best pics in fpl. the turning — pick the best pics in fpl. the turning point for me was in 2019— turning point for me was in 2019 when i had my first child and it— 2019 when i had my first child and it was— 2019 when i had my first child and it was that decision because fpl was taking up a lot of my— because fpl was taking up a lot of my time, has was teaching

a young family and then fpl became an additional time suck, essentially, that it wasn't allowing me to focus on the things which i want to prioritise. also i think the human was getting taken out of it. when i started playing fpl, it was very much about watching the football and knowing teams, knowing players, knowing unknown players who had come up through the championship are you there's so much out there using ai for people like holly who do a greatjob, it's flattering to play the field a little bit and allowing weaker players do not really understand the game and log onto websites and just build around these template teams that everyone is using. so, just kind of lost its in that perspective, for me, really. d0 perspective, for me, really. do ou perspective, for me, really. do you agree? i've _ perspective, for me, really. do you agree? i've got _ perspective, for me, really. do you agree? i've got to - perspective, for me, really. do you agree? i've got to agree i you agree? i've got to agree there. there _ you agree? i've got to agree there. there is _ you agree? i've got to agree there. there is so _ you agree? i've got to agree there. there is so much - you agree? i've got to agree - there. there is so much content out there — there. there is so much content out there and so many more people — out there and so many more people are consuming it i guess
