hello and welcome to sportsday this sunday night with me, chetan pathak. coming up on the programme... more welsh woes — warren gatland's wales equal the record losing run, as defeat to fiji makes it ten test defeats in a row... frustration too for scotland, who fail to take their chances against south africa, as the world champions prove too strong at murrayfield 22 years after they last did it, ipswich town win in the premier league again, with a day to remember at the tottenham hotspur stadium. it was anything but straight—forward in the end, but celtic win again to move back to the top of the of the scottish premiership. also coming up on sportsday before seven... going out with a win... mark cavendish — the most successful sprinter in cycling history — ends his career with victory in singapore.

iam quite i am quite emotional, actually. i am quite emotional, actually. i realised in the last five laps it was the last 15 kilometres of my career. and the win of his life — england's paul waring stuns a star—studded field to take the abu dhabi championship by two shots. welcome along, thank you forjoining us. more on an eventful day in the premier league — not least for ipswich fans — to come but we start with rugby union. it was england frustrated again last night, today it's the turn of wales, who've lost their autumn international to fiji by 2a points to 19. the visitors winning in cardiff for the first time ever — for wales it's their 10th successive test defeat — their worst run of results since 2003. patrick geary reports.

cardiff is once well is a's fortress, now they hoped it would be the sanctuary. behind them, 90 feet and a draw. in front of them, fiji. the men in red responded by going quickly of underside, to where blair murray was seven minutes into his debut. they soon added a penalty try, fiji being appended down, but suddenly it's great. their path back into the game. that ireland had never won and wales, but felt they would never have a better chance. they propped until the found weaknesses. wales were stung, and facing economic the reactor. alasdair evans�*s try got them back within two, but they had discussed what could approach no closer. for g, x

are safe. wales, unwanted history. ten defeats in a row. so wales equal their record losing run of ten matches, which happened between 2002 and 2003. it's now 400 days since warren gatland's side last won a test. the pressure doesn't come... it comes from the media because thatis comes from the media because that is a narrative that you create. and that is ok from what i sit. so, you'd have to take... i honestly believe, and we have said for the last 12 months since the world cup and the terms of the number of players and experience that we have lost since the world cup, we have got to invest in a group of youngsters that we thought we could build with, but i understand that test match rugby is about performing and burning, so... you control the narrative and write what you want. —— about performing and winning.

so defeats for wales and england this weekend, and for scotland too, i'm afraid. although there were plenty of positives from their performance against the world champions south africa, they were left thinking about what could have been following a 32—15 defeat to the springboks at murrayfield. nick parrott was watching. it was a balmy day in edinburgh for south africa's visit to murrayfield. scotland's welcome for the world champions was perhaps a bit 2—1, with them opening the scoring with less than four minutes on the clock. they soon recovered their composure, though. despite being temporarily a man down, finn russell kicked him into the lead. but they were in front for less than ten minutes as their defence went missing once again. the springboks back in front, and then another p°ppin9 in front, and then another popping out of knob to put them in control at the interval. scotland rallied after the break. russell kept taking them

back into contention but they weren't able to turn pressure into a try, as south africa held firm. andrew pollard kicked them ten points clear, and then itjust by visa put some gloss on a hard—fought win that person back to the top of the world rankings. —— that puts them back. before today, you had to go back to april 2002 for the last time ipswich town won a premier league game but the long wait is over — they've beaten tottenham to get their first victory of the season. a day for manager kieran mckenna and his players to remember. after being promoted last season, they've had a tricky start to life back in the top flight. now, at the 11th time of asking, they've won a game. sammie smodics and liam delap with their goals. rodrigo bentancur gave spurs hope but it wasn't enough — 2—i it finished, a result that lifts ipswich out of the relegation zone for now. their most famous fan, ed sheeran, a happy man, according to the manager.

yeah, he popped into the dressing room, which is nice. we're wearing, of course, the third kit today and the one that he had a part to design in. so that was nice. and he brought us some good luck. the players are delighted. they know this is a win to cherish out of the context of the rest of the season anyway. but they also know, you know, where we want to get to as a football club is winning games in the premier league. and it's been a big, big journey to get to this point. we know this season that's going to be a challenge, but that's where we we want to build the football club to. yeah, it is hugely disappointing. we started the game — disappointing. we started the game pretty slow and passive come — game pretty slow and passive come and give yourself a mountain to climb. in the second _ mountain to climb. in the second half, obviously, we had the ascendancy and the chances but didn't— the ascendancy and the chances but didn't do enough to win the game — but didn't do enough to win the name. ., ., , game. you mention being passive. _ game. you mention being passive. it _ game. you mention being passive, it was _ game. you mention being passive, it was the - game. you mention being passive, it was the same l game. you mention being - passive, it was the same team who started against aston villa last week when you are anything but. what you put that down to? it is down to me. i'm not getting _ it is down to me. i'm not getting the consistent performance i need to out of the press, and it is something

i need — the press, and it is something i need to— the press, and it is something i need to address. —— out of the — i need to address. —— out of the players. nottingham forest have been one of the stories of the premier league season so far, but their impressive run is over after newcastle came from behind to win 3—1 at the city ground. that makes it back—to—back wins for eddie howe's side, who denied forest a fourth straight top flight win for the first time in nearly 30 years. nesta mcgregor reports. nottingham forest are this season's surprise packet. a team who have gone from narrowly avoiding relegation to challenging at the top of the table. newcastle united committed were facing a team desperate to a pro. their own lowly league position. forest on the front foot were awarded a free kick and a promising position. the defender with his first goalfor the club. position. the defender with his first goal for the club. in fact, his first as a professional. clearly, the brazilians have had time to work on that celebration. the second half, it wasn't long before the magpies were level. alexander isak the quickest to

react from close range. even the most optimistic forest fans were probably wondering how long a good one would last. minutes later, we had the answer. newcastle in front for the first time, joelinton with this beauty. as full—time approach, the away side played the game sir. harvey barnes had only been on the pitch a few minutes. nottingham forest boss of three wins on the row comes to an end. they are still at the right end of the table. newcastle also heading in the right direction. newcastle climb to eighth while forest remain third, although only a point separates them in the table. forest are in great form, and a very difficult team to play again. they don't concede many chances so i think when we went 1-0 chances so i think when we went 1—0 down you feel the worse, because you have been rock solid defensively. we had work to do at half to find a way back into the game but credit to the press because the second half is up there with the best performances of the season.

i can't say that was a bad performance, that is out of the question — performance, that is out of the question. we played against a very— question. we played against a very good team that was able to control— very good team that was able to control us, — very good team that was able to control us, and then hodges and the way— control us, and then hodges and the way that we have been doing. _ the way that we have been doing, so there is a lesson to be learned. we lost a game but we take — be learned. we lost a game but we take a — be learned. we lost a game but we take a lesson from it, and we take a lesson from it, and we have _ we take a lesson from it, and we have to _ we take a lesson from it, and we have to keep organised and keep— we have to keep organised and keep compact, not allow counterattacks, because that was the _ counterattacks, because that was the key of the game. manchester united ended ruud van nistelrooy�*s time in charge in style, with a 3—0 win over leicester city at old trafford. bruno fernandes opened the scoring before an own goal, and a third from alejandro garnacho settled the game. united will have ruben amorim in the dugout for their next premier league game, but for now they stay 13th, with leicesterjust three points above the drop zone. i have to say, the whole team were together. they fought, did everything they could, and that's a bit the journey we started

four games ago. we tried to... before the four games, you know, we said to each other, let's make the most of it. let's get the maximum out of each other and the most results possible. and i think we did an 0kjob. we felt like we were always in the game in terms of... it didht— the game in terms of... it didn't feel like there was one team — didn't feel like there was one team that was definitely going to school the next goal, it was pretty— to school the next goal, it was pretty even. i think throughout the whole game but when i go to definitive — the whole game but when i go to definitive moments, they have shown— definitive moments, they have shown more desire to score and stop— shown more desire to score and stop us— shown more desire to score and stop us scoring done what we have, — stop us scoring done what we have, and _ stop us scoring done what we have, and in the end that is what — have, and in the end that is what has _ have, and in the end that is what has cost us the result and this _ what has cost us the result and this -- — what has cost us the result and this -- and— what has cost us the result and this:. —— and the score line. last but not least in the premier league today, chelsea and arsenal have gone head to head at stamford bridge. the visitors hoping to get back to winning ways but that hasn't happened — the points shared — it's finished 1—1, as craig templeton reports.

the bridge between chelsea and arsenal has shortened so far this season, much to divide some but after ten games it is only goal difference that separates them. one of the main reasons for chelsea's surgeon has been called palmer. under david dryer separated him from the opening goal. but he couldn't get near this one,. arsenal thought they had broken the deadlock when kai havertz was alive... there wasn't much between him and the last defender but enough for him to be offside. gabriel martinelli didn't have the same issue. he timed his run perfectly and provided the finish to much. north london losing in the west. not for long, because when you leave a pedro neto with this much space, he does things like that. and it turns up things like that. and it turns up the stamford bridge volume. arsenal had a huge chance to

win it at the end but no one could find the finishing touch. so, after ten games, they were close. after another 95 minutes even closer. minimal capital between them. this is how the premier table looks going into the international break. arsenal and chelsea both found themselves on nine points behind the league leaders, liverpool, and four points behind manchester city in second. it is tight and congested in that middle part of the towpath of the table, and nottingham forestjust a point above newcastle, who beat them earlier today. and tottenham dropping to the bottom of the top half of the table, on 16 points after that defeat to ipswich. this is how the bottom of the table looks, and it will make better rooting for ipswich town fans. they are out of the relegation zone for now. this recounts up world is getting off the mark with a first as well. manchester

united found themselves 13 is in the table. celtic are back on top of the scottish premiership table tonight — moving above aberdeen on goal difference — after a 2—0 win at kilmarnock. but it was a long hard battle, as alex fletcher reports. back to the scene of their last league triumph, celtic arrived at rugby park full of confidence, but this wouldn't be easy. kilmarnock creating problems from the off. and that first—half pressure continued to grow. marley watkins inches away from putting the home side in front. they would live to regret. callum mcgregor�*s causing confusion at the back. celtic finding a way to lead at the break. refusing to feel

sorry for themselves, kilmarnock continued to probe, and found the perfect opening. but matty kennedy could only find the gloves of kasper schmeichel. derek mcinnis of finding it hard to watch. celtic now look for breathing space, and in kuhn have a in a red—hot form. a fourth goal in his last three matches. celtic back on top of the league. elsewhere, there are just minutes left at ibrox where rangers are taking on hearts. cyriel dessers gave them an early lead with his tenth goal of the season and it remains 1-0 of the season and it remains 1—0 as things stand. chelsea have closed the gap on women's super league leaders manchester city, after beating liverpool 3—0. mayra ramirez opened the scoring for the visitors

before chelsea quickly doubled their tally as guro reiten took advantage of this error by liverpool keeper rachael laws. the victory means chelsea boss sonia bompastor is the first manager to win their opening four away games in the wsl. iam i am really pleased, really happy with the performance. and again with the result, we have again with the result, we have a really good dynamic at the moment. with a great performance as well. i think we started performance as we
