hello and welcome to sportsday this saturday night with me, chetan pathak. coming up on the programme... the seagulls are flying high — brighton beat manchester city as pep guardiola loses four games in a row for the first time in his career. drama and dejection — england blow a lead again as australia win a thriller of an autumn international. finally... relief and joy for wolves after their first premier league win of the season over fellow strugglers southampton. and after a difficult year with injuries cam norrie�*s back in the spotlight with a first final appearance in almost two years. we'll let you know how he got on...
7:32 pm
drama in the last few moments. it's never happened in pep guardiola's managerial career. he's not lost four games in a row — but that could change tonight, if brighton beat them at the amex. erling haaland scoring to give them a 1—0 lead — his twelfth goal in the league this season. and then the turning moment. joao pedro goal 78 minutes. they gave brighton hopes, just five minutes later, matt o'riley with what proved to be the winner. brighton's impressive start of the season continues, and manchester city continues, and manchester city continue to falter. liverpool kick off against aston villa in
7:33 pm
30 minutes. at the other end of the table — the two sides that started the day in the bottom two went head to head at molineux. and it's wolves who've come out on top, beating southampton 2—0 for their first win of the season. that show you a bit of the reaction after game. delight for manager gary o'neil — a victory that relieves the pressure going into the international break. goals from pablo sarabia and matheus cunha winning them the game — and taking them two points clear of southampton who are rooted to the bottom of the table. played a lot better than we have today, and been on the wrong end. it was a gritty performance. we had to move a few things around at half—time and managed to get a bit more pressure on the second half, get a lot fo regains, and southampton at an awkward side to play against, especially
7:34 pm
when you're down the bottom and under pressure in front of your home fans. they dominate the ball. we had to be patient. but in the second half, i thought we were excellent. we got good pressure and looked a real threat. we started the game really badly with too many mistakes that led to their goal. we came away, dominated the goal to concede eight shots. we've lost 2—0, and it's impossible to end up like that. that would be my frustration. we need to do more with the ball in their final third, and i think will and death receiving another two receiving another two interesting decisions, but i'm not going to blame that. five goals at brentford who beat bournmouth 3—2. thomas frank's side twice coming from behind to bounce back from monday's defeat at fulham. yoane wissa scoring twice as brentford move into the top half of the table. i think we are not good. bournemouth are better than us. we gave them one or two chances, if i'm honest. i think we grew into that game and drew the rest of the half.
7:35 pm
—— did well the rest of the half. we scored a good goal. the second half, i thought we were the best team. quite significantly. throughout the second half, they scored a welcome by that short corner, there was one cross in the end. beside that, we didn't give anything away, we scored two top goals and created loads of chances. we were the better team for most of the game, we had more chances than them. we were ahead two times, and that was the key moments. when you go 2—1, you can see that straightaway. 2—2, the game starts losing a bit of control. we weren't we we ren't playing we weren't playing very well. we've had that before, the chance to score at the end. we had that penalty corner for us. we finished, losing the game. fulham's impressive season continues. another win for them,
7:36 pm
this time at crystal palace. emile smith rowe with their opening goal at selhurst park, before harry wilson scored his third goal this week after coming on as a substitute. 2—0 the final score. the result lifts them up to sixth in the table on the same points as fourth—placed chelsea, who play arsenal tomorrow. we deserve much more. we deserve much more, but the great three points for us. a great team performance. and with a quality that we have been playing so far this season, i think we have been seeing things every single match, and we have been working with them, the confidence from the last game for this game as clear as well. i think it's a normal thing when you win a game the way we won. fulham played really well, very aggressive, very direct. a lot of friends, in behind. it was a difficult game. then when you make too many mistakes, they go straight before half—time,
7:37 pm
the stuff coming back. again, fulham was the better team today. no goals at the london stadium. jordan pickford keeping out west ham as everton drew 0—0. the hammers stay 14th in the table, two points and places above today's opponents. the pressure remains on west ham manager, julen lopetegui. i'm happy, for sure. the aim was to win the match, i think that we can do better and we have to do better. i can't complain about the behaviour of the plays. the players when the goal, they were aggressive, we had chances. we deserved to win, but i repeat, we have to take advantage of all. a lot of noise at this place at the moment. that affects the game
7:38 pm
sometimes. that affects the game sometimes. it was a clean sheet, another point. a pretty solid performance, ifelt, with the ball and without. as you rightly said, jordan makes a fine save, and we have asked questions at the end of the pitch, just a bit more devil up in the front third. it's definitely something we've got to continue look to. so these are the results and that latest score at brighton. one more game to come — and that's at anfield at 8 o'clock where aston villa are the visitors. wolves are off that spot. liverpool will be looking to keep hold of top spot in the table. it could move liverpool five points ahead. aberdeen are three points clear at the top of the scottish premiership tonight — with celtic in action tomorrow. and rangers well adrift for now in third.
7:39 pm
aberdeen 3—1 winners over dundee. that's 10 wins from 11. 4—1! meanwhile dundee united are fourth after a 3—0 win over ross county. motherwell fifth with a 2—1 victory over stjohnstone and st mirren are sixth after hanging on for a 2—1 win at hibs. they were in the premier league last season — luton�*s troubled return to the championship continues — as they were thrashed 5—1 at middlesborough adding to the problems of manager rob edwards. the loss is luton�*s eighth in 15 championship games. elsewhere the league leaders sunderland looked to be cruising towards a comfortable three points before coventry launched a second—half comeback, 2—2 it finished at the stadium of light. leeds are just two points behind them now after a 2—0 win over qpr. norwich city's year—long and 21—game unbeaten home record came to an and against bristol city. a massive three points for portsmouth as they beat preston 3—1 — that lifts them off the bottom of the championship table. details of all today's matches
7:40 pm
on the bbc sport website. next to rugby union's autumn internationals and a thriller at the alianz stadium twickenham where the visitors snatched a rare victory in the very last second. england beaten 10—37 — that's their fourth defeat in a row — and sixth loss in ten this year. patrick geary reports. expectation hung over england, which they could treat as a fuel or a burden. they had beaten australia ten times out of 11, so in the stands they would have wanted to show something perhaps like this. the gladiatorial chandler cunningham scored twice, you not entertained? but this is becoming too eventful. the wallabies are suddenly charged over, and then broke through again, hauling themselves through the half—time lead. they moved further ahead
7:41 pm
in the second half. england's parade became a desperate chase. so too did australia, and that england had to rely on their weakness, finishing strong. when they smashed through commencing this match dates. the wallabies weren't done. a truly remarkable game would have a flying finish, scoring in the 84th minute and those expectations are now starting to feel like pressure. a mad final few minutes. it's england's worst run of results since 2018. what next for them and their under pressure manager steve borthwick? we talked about the team developing the attack inside the bowl, talked about the team having the confidence to move the ball. i think we saw that today. i think you're seeing that with the team. one of the big challenges of the england team over a long period of time
7:42 pm
is the weight of the shed, and i think the players... it's something we have worked to develop and move on from with this team. but clearly there are consequences. if you turn it over that many times, you are not giving your defence much of a chance. so we need to improve upon that. much of a chance. 50 we need to improve upon that.— much of a chance. so we need to improve upon that. that so much excitement _ improve upon that. that so much excitement around _ improve upon that. that so much excitement around what - improve upon that. that so much excitement around what we - improve upon that. that so much excitement around what we are l excitement around what we are doing _ excitement around what we are doing and — excitement around what we are doing and belief in what we're doing — doing and belief in what we're doing of_ doing and belief in what we're doing. of course, there are frustrations and there are going _ frustrations and there are going to be some people that are very— going to be some people that are very frustrated at the result _ are very frustrated at the result tonight, part of the performance. that is a must feel— performance. that is a must feel for— performance. that is a must feel for us_ performance. that is a must feel for us for next week and how— feel for us for next week and how we — feel for us for next week and how we can get better and be in the best— how we can get better and be in the best place we possibly can to take — the best place we possibly can to take on south africa. staying with the autumn internationals — argentina put in a dominant performance as they beat italy 43—18 in udine. -- 50-18. tries from juan cruz mallia and gonzalo bertranou in the first half gave argentina a seven point lead at the break. the visitors then ran away with it in the second half as italy's 16 year wait
7:43 pm
for a win over their opponents goes on. glasgow warriors full—back tom jordan will make his first scotland start against south africa at murrayfield tomorrow. star—duo finn russell and blair kinghorn return, along with scrum—half ben white, having all been unavailable for last weekend's 57—17 win over fiji. so can scotland get a result against the springboks for the first time in 14 years? here's our sports news correspondent chris mclaughlin. no real surprises. the last time the sides faced up, there was no real surprises. this is the world cup in france last year, a comfortable 18—3 victory for the eventual winners. they were given the full scottish welcome at training this week. clear favourites, yes. but... let them think they're going to win on sunday, and we know that if we... if we are a little off our game, it's going to be a very
7:44 pm
long day. i had just seen the bagpipes and the anthem, sometimes you just catch a sourcing with it. the springboks are sporting royalties at all home. these are the scenes after the recent world cup triumph. a squad with the ultimate faith in the head coach. left from rassie. i think we can expect a couple more surprises left from rassie. he's a mad genius. but i do think it is going to maybe be a bit of a different game to what we're to. maybe not as physical, but i think it's going to go wide, i think. what on earth are fiji doing? that might suit scotland after 7-17 that might suit scotland after 7—17 when last weekend. are there more confident sides since they last met at the world champions? the fact that we have played them, the players have felt what it's like to go up against the springboks.
7:45 pm
whatever they take from the game, it's up to them. line—outs, contactarea... they know now, they have recent experience to go up against the springbok team. ten seconds remaining... it's all oven _ the last time scotland beat the springboks was back in 2010. it's been a while, but the world champions await more on sunday. time now for a look at some of the days other sport stories and... sri lanka have beaten new zealand by 4 wickets in the first of two t—20 internationals. the hosts bowled new zealand out for just 135 with dunith wellalage taking three wickets. and it was left to him to hit the winnings runs in style, as sri lanka reached their target with just six balls to spare. ding junhui has beaten xu si 9—6 to reach snookers international championship final. the 37—year—old has not won a ranking title
7:46 pm
since 2019 and will take on england's chris wakelin tomorrow. connor scutt�*s beaten the fifth seed dave chisnall on day one of the grand slam of darts in wolverhampton. this 120 finish sealed his 5—0 win in the biggest shock of the afternoon session. luke littler and michael van gerwen both play theirfirst games this evening. and a surprising but popular winner of wincanton�*s famous badger beer chase today. the veteran grey, al dancer, led nearly from start to finish under the top weight at 25—1. it was also particularly special for his young jockey callum pritchard and trainer sam thomas who today was doubling up as groom. coco gauff has won the season—ending wta finals in riyadh in a thriller
7:47 pm
against zheng qinwen. the olympic gold medallist won the first set but former us open champion gauff responded in the second — winning it 6—4. she trailed 2—love in the final set but recovered again to take the match to a tie—break which she won comfortably. it's been an emotional year for her. the 20 year—old becomes the youngest winner of the tournament since maria sharapova in 200a. the light therefore coco gauff. cam norrie has missed out on lifting a sixth atp tour title after losing the final of the moselle open to benjamin bonzi in straight sets. the british number two was hoping to end what has been a disappointing year by claiming his first title since 2023, but came unstuck in metz as nick parrott reports.
7:48 pm
after a difficult year with injuries, cam norrie was back in the spotlight with the first final appearance in almost two years. standing in his was way was benjamin bonzy. despite being 67 places lower in the world rankings, the frenchman was much closer court. a dramatic ninth game saw ten break points, during a gruelling course of an hour. he held his nerve and went on to hold his serve. roared on by his home crowd, the first set went the full distance, before he eventually broke the resistance. it wasn't completely one—sided, but the match wasn't going the way they or norrie hoped. that did the damage, improved enough to be securing him his first title of his career. defeat marks the end of the
7:49 pm
season, but the tournament has shown that if he can stay injury free, next year will be better. the fairytale for english golfer paul waring is still on at the abu dhabi championship. the world number 229 has managed to hold on to his lead over the star—studded field going into the final round at yas links on sunday. waring stunned the sport with the lowest 36 hole score in european tour history and despite carding a less impressive one over par in his third round. he's still leading by a shot. job done for the moment. it's looking good for him. it was rumoured for a while, but sir mark cavendish has confirmed he will retire from professional cycling at tomorrow's singapore criterium. the manx missile is regarded as the greatest male sprinter to ever compete on the road — this summer he won a record—breaking 35th stage at the tour de france at the age of 39. i've been speaking to our
7:50 pm
reporter drew savage. it's probably no surprise to most people, he is 39. he has a family of four children, who he wants to see grow up. since he came back to win that elusive 35th stage at the tour de france this summer, it's unsurprising. this is what he wanted to post on social media today. "my racing career, completed it." some people wondered maybe he might give it one more go but he said, no, i'm happy with this. this is what another of british cycling greats has had to say about him. what he has achieved in this sport is phenomenal. to have the most tour de france wins is incredible. it's absolutely incredible. and no easy feat. i don't see that record being broken for a very long time. it's been an
7:51 pm
extraordinary career. as someone who has followed it from start to end, what stands out for you? it's the sheer number of wins. he has been an absolute winning machine. for five years, he was the fastest man on the planet, unbeatable. he won the green jersey for the best sprinter in the tour de france in 2011. that same year, there is a great britain that had geraint thomas and bradley wiggins. they put a greater effort into sat at the championship for him and bradley wiggins. they put a great effort into sat at the championship for him in copenhagen. britain had never been a road cycling nation until he came along. those winds brought in the golden era of all the brits going on to win the yellowjersey in the tour. he has always been a perfectionist. quite spiky of a journalist, but very honest. everyone wanted to that element of him. he has always been popular with his team—mates.
7:52 pm
people have a comeback story, and his is one of the best. at the end of the 2016 tour, he had 30 stage wins to his name, and spent pretty much five years in the wilderness. he had depression, injury, illness, and everyone thought he was finished. he had a call—up for the tour de france in 2021, finished on 3a stage wins. everyone would think that would be enough, but comes back one more time, does it once more, and you saw his reaction to getting that 35th stage in. i think that was the ideal point to leave it, really. that is drew savage speaking to me earlier. next tonight — a decision to start going to the gym during lockdown changed the life of matt smyth from poole in dorset. he's just been crowned the world's strongest disabled man. and that is not the end of his sporting ambition, farfrom it, our reporter lewis coombes has been to meet him. it gives me the confidence to be able to be who i am. it gives me a reason to push myself beyond what i believe is humanly possible. it's therapy.
7:53 pm
i generally refer to the gym as therapy. matt smyth was born without a knee or hip sockets. he spent much of his life battling with its physical and mental health. i remember waking up after trying to hang myself and thinking, i need to do something with my life. the cycle cannot continue. i then got in a gym. three months later, i placed third in the country for the strongest man, that was three and a half years ago. from then on, that was it. that was my life's trajectory. it has been up and up ever since. can he do the 155? at the world strongest disabled man competition, the pain of the past to get there make the satisfaction success all the more sweet. when i realised i'd won the world championship, i got the final stone over, the release came over for me.
7:54 pm
i broke down in tears so hard. everyone celebrating, it was... it was just... yes. sorry. sorry. it was just... it was just... everything paid off. everything paid off. everything we had been everything we had been working towards for working towards for the last two, two and half the last two, two and half years, everything just came years, everything just came together in one moment together in one moment of, we have done it. of, we have done it. over five events including over five events including shoulder press, sled shoulder press, sled sights set on next year. drag and the stones, matt drag and the stones, matt outmuscled the competition to outmuscled the competition to lift the title. lift the title. he reaffirmed his new sense he reaffirmed his new sense of purpose and belief. of purpose and belief. you see yourself as an you see yourself as an inspiration to other inspiration to other disabled people? disabled people? not to the point where ever to become world champion, but i believe i have inspired but i believe i have inspired people to challenge their people to challenge their mental health difficulties, to mental health difficulties, to become more physically active. become more physically active. encourage people to change encourage people to change their life for the positive. their life for the positive. and matt already has his and matt already has his
7:56 pm
jacob ramsey, amadou onana and lucas digne restored to the team. you can follow it all on the bbc sport website. but for me, and the team, that is must for now. thank you for good night. good evening. it has for the majority been a cloudy, grey but mostly dry day again. there's a little bit of sunshine across north—eastern parts of england, and i do think sunday has a better chance of seeing some brighter weather with more showers around. and that's because we have change starting to take place. but you can see on the satellite picture from earlier today, where we had the breaks in the cloud, scotland, north—eastern parts of england, and so it's here where we're likely to see a touch of frost as we go through the night. elsewhere, i think it's just going to stay quite grey, misty and foggy over the hills. but here's the change, or at least the start of the change.
7:57 pm
a weather front starting to move in to bring some showery rain. so, notjust this drizzly weather that we've had recently. this is more significant rain. but again it doesn't look as if it'll bring a great deal. but for most of us, it keeps the temperatures up overnight under that blanket of cloud. now, because we're introducing weather fronts tomorrow, there's a better chance of some brightness, even ahead of this weather front. not lots of sunshine, but perhaps a little bit brighter for the services in the morning across southern and eastern areas in particular. but the big breaks in the cloud, the best sunshine will be through the afternoon across northern ireland and scotland, as that weather front continues to make its way southwards and eastwards. and i do think as well, because we're changing our wind direction, it won't feel as chilly as it has done in recent days, even across the cloudier parts of england and wales. and here, too, we will see that clearer air arriving, but probably not until monday, when we'll see more abundant sunshine because that weather front has to move through. so, as we start monday, still quite a bit of cloud hanging around through cornwall
7:58 pm
and the channel islands, and then it clears away and it does look drier and brighter. a bit of a nippy northerly breeze coming down the north sea coast, and temperatures will be a degree or two lower than sunday, but i do think the sunshine will compensate, so it will feel pleasant enough. and light winds for the majority under our area of high pressure. but there are a couple of flies in the ointment, one of them comes later tuesday into wednesday, working its way we think down the north sea, so bringing rather more cloud and breeze, a chilly breeze back in across east anglia, in the south—east and probably overnight and into wednesday. some rain, but for most after a chilly start and probably a bit more frost around into next week and some morning fog. low level fog, it does look like another dry bright day. good spells of sunshine on tuesday, but it might be some more rain, as i say, in the south on wednesday and then in the north into thursday. as ever, there's more on the website.
7:59 pm
