an added time equaliser from mats hummels cost tottenham two points in a highly entertaining game. it saw them drop from fourth to ninth on the table and outside the automatic qualifying spots for the last 16 — just behind rangers, their next opponent at ibrox. heung—min son gave them the lead with an early penalty, cancelled out by evan ndicka's header. then brennanjohnson swept tottenham back in front with a lovely first—time finish. they hit the crossbar twice in the second half, but roma also struck the bar, had two goals ruled out for offside and fraser forster made one incredible save from gianluca mancini, just before he was beaten right at the end. claudio ranieri, the former chelsea boss, having the last laugh in north london. just three points separate the top 10 teams in the europa league with lazio, athletic bilbao and eintracht frankfurt all level on 13 points after all avoided defeat on thursday. of the three, lazio were the only ones to drop points in a goalless draw against bulgarian side ludogorets. ajax would have joined them

with a win but they lost at real sociedad, while rangers moved into eighth after a thumping 4—1 win at nice. unlike the europa league, the conference league still has teams with 100% records. there are two of them — that's leaders chelsea, after their victory over german side heidenheim, and legia warsaw. they, too, have 4 wins from 4, thanks to a 3—0 victory in cyprus against omonia nicosia. there were defeats for the other british sides involved — hearts, the new saints and larne. all the scores from both european competitions are on the bbc sport website. the team top of the pile in the champions league has the same position at home. liverpool are the envy of europe right now after their start to the season. arne slot has outperformed even the most optimistic predictions with a win in their next premier league match over manchester city, taking them 11 points clear of the defending champions, who are on a run of six matches without a win — statistically, pep guardiola's

worst as a manager. they are still a very, very, very good team and one of the reasons why i think pep guardiola is the best manager in the world, or one of the best managers in the world — i think the best though — is that he always comes up with solutions for his problems. so — and his problem now might be that rodri is out, so i don't think it's a surprise for anyone if he again comes up with something no—one has ever thought about before to make his team even stronger and that's probably one of the reasons why he inspired so many managers around the world with all these — when he came up with it, we all thought it was crazy, he did it and we thought, "ok let's try to do the same because it's "a brilliant idea". so i wouldn't be surprised if he came up with something new again but, yeah, let's wait and see because many things have been done in football now but, yeah, he is — if there's anyone in this managerial world that can come up with something new,

it's definitely him. frank lampard admits taking the job of coventry manager is a risk but after nearly 18 months without one, the former england and chelsea midfielder says he wants to get back into something he loves. lampard's been out of work since his interim role at chelsea ended 18 months ago. he'd previously held the full—time position at stamford bridge, as well as spells at derby county and everton. he's been given a 2.5—year deal at the championship club. i'm ambitious to be better. for me personally, i don't have those far, crazy targets far away. i have what's the next game and how can i impact this team in a positive way? which is what i'm trying to do. we understand the championship can move and change very quickly but nothing is given to you, so every step now has to be the one that's right in front of us. and because you can build

momentum quickly in this league, it can also kick you in the area you don't want to be kicked in if you don't stay on it because it's a championship, so i think it is very important we don't get too far ahead of ourselves. as i say, i can sit here and go yes, i have a good belief in the squad because i have viewed it a lot, i've looked at it and i think i can help. world number two iga swiatek has accepted a one—month suspension after testing positive for a banned substance in august. she was provisionally suspended and missed three tournaments but after she appealed, the itia — the body which looks after the game's integrity — accepted that she had unknowingly ingested a substance known as tmz, which had contaminated her medication forjet lag. she has eight days of the ban still to serve. she wrote on instagram:

there have been calls for the chief executive of the rugby football union in england, bill sweeney, to resign after it emerged that he was one of six executives who shared a bonus pot of £1.3 million at a time when four professional rugby clubs had gone bust and 42 people at the rfu were being made redundant. sweeney's salary is more than 700,000 a year and he was awarded more than 350,000 as part of a long—term incentive plan. 0ur rugby union correspondent chrisjones has been explaining to jane dougall if it was justified. i think part of the issue here is that the scope of the rfu have is enormous, you know? so, they have to be in charge of everything from boys and girls playing tag rugby at the age of five up until the england senior men's side. and the rfu chief executive oversees all of that. so, it is a big job that needs a big hitter and it needs a big salary. whether it needs a salary is bigger 740 grand is another question. and when it comes to rewarding bill sweeney over the course

of three years — this long—term incentive plan that they have — a, is three years long enough? and given that he did not hit certain targets, just paints a little bit of a messy picture. it has a lot of people from inside and outside twickenham wondering whether in the climate, whether the fans and situation and what happened to professional clubs, with the funding of clubs in the championship, with the community clubs struggling for numbers and volunteers and officials, should the man right at the top are getting a bonus quite of that magnitude? i think it's something that is being asked both inside and outside the walls of twickenham at the moment. just finally, chris, there are some people also asking the question should bill sweeney go? yes, he has been under fire from a couple of former rfu bosses. the times have spoken to an ex—chairman and an ex—ceo, who have both said that bill sweeney and chair tom ilube should fall on their swords, the rfu has dismissed that, saying both men

have been out of the game for so long and are completely out of touch with what's going on in between the walls of twickenham. but we've also seen a statement from the community clubs union. we know the championship clubs have been thoroughly enamoured by the work going on to try and bolster that second tier. and while bill sweeney does highlight some areas where the rfu are comfortable in terms of their cash reserves and the performance of the red roses, the long—term agreement with the professional clubs, there are other parts where they really are coming under fire from all quarters. but, certainly, it has been an uncomfortable week for the rfu and however they try, the kind of questions that we are talking about here just won't go away. world number onejudd trump won a deciding frame to reach the quarterfinals of the uk snooker championship. it's the sixth time trump has been taken to a final frame this season, and he's won all six. this victory was against the three—time champion john higgins in york, where trump will play zhang anda of china

in the last eight. dame katherine grainger has been elected chair of the british olympic association — the first woman to take up the role in its 119—year history. grainger won rowing gold at london 2012 and is also a four—time 0lympic silver medallist. after retiring, she became chair of uk sport and she'll make the move to the boa early next year, when she'll replace sir hugh robertson. much more at our website, of course, including all of the reaction to the day's football. but that's it for now. goodbye. hello there. thursday was a decidedly chilly day. in fact, that's something of an understatement in those parts of scotland that didn't get above freezing. but a different feel to the weather kicking in for the day ahead, these southerly winds bringing something milder. a frontal system bringing

outbreaks of rain across northern and western parts. further east, closest to the centre of this area of high pressure, it should stay largely dry. so, a bit of rain in the forecast, some sunny spells as well but breezy, and with that breeze coming from the south, it will be milder. so, here's how things look. outbreaks of rain on and off through the day across the north of scotland. a frontal system bringing rain into northern ireland, western scotland, parts of west wales, the south west of england but to the east of that, a lot of dry weather, some spells of albeit fairly hazy sunshine. it is going to be breezy, particularly windy out towards the west, but with those winds coming from the south, a little bit milder than it has been. the highest temperatures in those western parts — 12 degrees for stornoway, 13 degrees there for plymouth.

a little bit chillier further east. and then, ourfrontal system moves its way eastwards during friday night. it will weaken as it goes. it will leave quite a lot of cloud behind as we start saturday morning but it is going to be a mild start to the weekend. a rather cloudy start for many and i think we can expect quite a lot of cloud through the day on saturday. that cloud breaking from time to time, particularly to the east of higher ground. equally, that cloud may produce just a few showers at times across parts of northern ireland and parts of scotland as well. temperature—wise on saturday, we're looking at values of 13, 1a, 15 degrees, so very mild indeed. certainly, those temperatures above the average for the time of year. as we head through saturday night and into sunday, we see this next frontal system pushing eastwards. that will bring some outbreaks of rain. ahead of that weather front, we've still got the southerly winds, so it's still going to be pretty mild. behind the weather front, well, something brighter, sunny spells and showers. we do start to see a northerly wind kicking in. that may just start to bring something a little bit colder into the northwest but for the majority, a very mild day again on sunday for the first day of december. but it does look like things will turn a little bit colder for a time during the first

half of next week.
