we start with the english premier league and pressure is mounting on the manchester united manager after a 3—0 defeat at home to tottenham hotspur. it leaves the club 12th in the league. erik ten hag has only one victory in five premier league matches, while tottenham have four wins in a row in all competitions. micky van der ven set up brennanjohnson to score the first in just the third minute for spurs, before united went down to ten men when captain bruno fernandes was given a straight red card for a challenge onjames maddison. tottenham scored a second
2:46 am
through dejan kulusevski. and dominic solanke got the third in a comprehensive win for the visitors. i think our performance in the league all year have been strong, we have just not had that cutting—edge. it helps that we have dominic back and he is scoring goals. i think ourform has been consistent but when you get the wins, you want the players to feel a reward you want them to feel like they feel ok now because we will need another effort again in the next game to get us there. we have to deal with this. we have to show resilience because this is not good enough. we have to accept this and from that point on we have to do things better and go for the next game, focus on this and do things better. in the earlier match, aston villa missed the chance to go level on points with liverpool at the top of the table after drawing 2—2

at newly—promoted ipswich town. the hosts taking the lead at portman road through liam delap afterjust eight minutes. however, villa turned the match on its head in the first half as morgan rogers and then england striker ollie watkins gave the visitors a 2—1 lead at the break. delap then drew ipswich level again with a fabulous finish to give kieran mckenna's side a share of the points. i am not happy with the point but i have to accept because i think it is fair, the fight, and i know it is difficult to play against ipswich here because they were pushing and playing well. the second half we have to continue doing and we have two accept one point. it is not a bad point and we are doing it our way. every game in the division is tough so we know that this game is a challenge every week but certainly we have probably had, a difficult first six fixtures and again, for games in a row
2:48 am
a difficult first six fixtures and again, four games in a row and neither had the result, the only two teams to beat us so far are manchester city and liverpool in the first two weeks when we were coming together as a ”roll. . ., ., ", ., i like the direction of the group. it is a tough division and it is hard to pick up points and even harder to win games and that will be a big fight for us all season. manchester city got their first win of the womens super league with a 1—0 victory over brighton. bunny shaw scored the only goal of the game as city looked to bounce back following a draw against arsenal in their opening match. gareth taylor's side missed out on the title last season because they scored seven goals fewer than chelsea, so he was happy with the win. when you think about what we have done so far this season and the four points we have taken, we took none last
2:49 am
none off arsenal and we lost this game here at home so we are already four points up which is pleasing. some little bits of finishing need to be worked on but really pleased for the team because we worked tremendously hard today. there was a fiery derby in the spanish capital as the match between real and atletico madrid had to be stopped because missiles were being thrown onto the pitch. visitors real took the lead in the second half with a goal from eder militao, but shortly afterwards home fans began throwing objects onto the field towards the real goalkeeper, thibaut courtois, and the game was paused for safety reasons. the players returned after a 20—minute delay and the drama continued on the pitch. in the sixth minute of added time atletico equalised through angel correa and then the home side went down to ten men after marcos llorente was sent off. cricket and travis head was the star of the show for australia as they beat england by 49 runs in their fifth and final one day international in bristol to win the series 3—2, before the match was ended by rain. head took four wickets
2:50 am
and then scored 31 as the weather closed in, with australia 165 for two — they were well ahead on the duckworth—lewis—stern method. earlier england's stand—in captain harry brook made 72 and ben duckett 107 as they set a target of 310. any time you tour england as an australian team it is always a fantastic few weeks. the cricket played by both teams was outstanding and a ha rdfought contest for five matches and good to get over the line today in a rain affected game. i think we did brilliantly. we batted perfectly. ducky had an outstanding innings. there was a collapse in the middle but we tried to put pressure on the bowlers throughout and then with the ball we tried to take wickets. we knew it would rain and we probably searched a little bit but we would rather go that way. now it hasn't been done

to cut into his lead but nobody could make an impact. the only hope was that pogacar may fade or may have miscalculated but if anything he grew stronger. one of the greatest riders we have ever seen on two wheels. one of cycling's greatest champions. he is about to win the triple crown of the giro d'italia the tour de france and the world championship in the same season. but even he was surprised at how he did it. we wanted to get the race under control but the race went early and i don't know what i was thinking and ijust went also and i went through the floor and i made it, luckily, but it was sort of incredible. and for a man who has won the pinkjersey at the giro in the yellow at the tour, this was the one left he really wanted. winning the triple crown means he is now up there with the all—time greats like eddie merckx. and at 26, who knows what else pogacar could go on to achieve. drew savage, bbc news. the united states have won a tenth consecutive president's cup after

keegan bradley scored the vital decisive point. bradley won his singles match against kim si—woo to take his side to the 15 and a half point target needed to retain the title in montreal. the biennial event has a line—up of international players from outside europe. the us needed 11.5 points from 12 singles matches and wins for xander schauffele, russell henley and patrick cantlay, along with a half—point from sam burns were enough for the americans to keep the trophy. angel hidalgo won his first title on the dp world tour after beating compatriot jon rahm on the second play—off hole to win his home event, the spanish open in madrid. hidalgo made a shaky start, needing this putt on the 18th to win it, but the ball stayed out, forcing a play—off. hidalgo and rahm went back to the 18th — they both birdied the first extra hole. then hidalgo created an opportunity to chip
2:54 am
to within three feet — he holed his putt and took the title. i don't think this will change a lot in my career. i always hope i can win a few more buts, yeah, to be here with the trophy means i can win this tournament so i think that was the biggest step i can play since next week, knowing i can win and everyone knows i can win now. that is pretty good. outgoing world rally champion kalle rovanpera has won rally chile. the finn beat his british toyota teammate elvin evans by 23 seconds to take his fourth victory of his part time season. the one—two finish for toyota has closed the gap to hyundai in the manufacturers' championship to 17 points. a fourth place finish for thierry newville saw his drivers�* championship lead cut to 29 points with two rounds to go.

you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website — that's bbc.com/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello there. well, it's now the end of the month, and it's been a very wet one across the southern half of the uk. some spots here have seen more than three or four times their average september rainfall. and there's more wet weather to come too, notably for the start of the week and then through the middle of the week, things will settle down, it will turn drier, there will be some sunshine, so things looking up and temperatures will return to the seasonal average too. but in the meantime, this is the rainfall accumulation chart for the next couple of days. so more wet weather, especially in the south. and there could be some more flooding over the midlands with more heavy downpours
2:56 am
here on the ground already saturated. and it's all because this deep area of low pressure is rolling in from the southwest through the rest of the night, bringing heavy, persistent outbreaks of rain, especially over the higher ground. strong, gusty winds, especially on the southern flank there. a few showers further north, but generally here it is drier, and it's a milder start across the board than we saw over the weekend. and that low continues to push further northwards and eastwards as we head through monday. bumps into the area of high pressure out towards the east. so it is going to stall, and that is not good news where we've seen the recent flooding, because there'll be more heavy rain falling on the saturated ground. some of the heaviest of the downpours of rain on monday could be across the liverpool bay area stretching across the midlands. north midlands in particular down from southeast yorkshire through into northern areas of east anglia. towards the south, it will dry out and the winds will gradually ease down. and towards the north, we'll see a few showers scattered across parts of scotland, northern ireland, but generally a lot drier here.
2:57 am
but it will turn drier, particularly out towards the west, as we head through monday night into tuesday as that low rolls off into the north sea. so some clear spells starting to appear and a slightly chillier start for western areas we'll be seeing on monday morning. but underneath the cloud and the rain of course still very mild. and then on tuesday, well, our low pushes into the north sea. high pressure starts to build into the north and the west. we'll be seeing that a bit later on through the week. but we're starting off tuesday with still outbreaks of rain across parts of east anglia, southeast england, a brisk north—easterly wind blowing for the north sea—facing coasts, but towards the north and the west, there'll be some brightness and spells of sunshine, perhaps a few showers but generally dry and temperatures will start to pick up. it's looking largely dry on wednesday, thursday and friday. bye— bye.
