Jose Mourinho hailed David de Gea as the best goalkeeper in the world after the Spaniard's inspired display helped Manchester United clinch a 3-1 win at Arsenal. Jesse Lingard scored twice after Antonio Valencia's early opener as second-placed United recorded back-to-back away wins in the Premier League for the first time this season. However, the visitors needed De Gea to repel an Arsenal onslaught either side of half-time, with United's last line of defence making a number of eye-catching saves to keep the hosts at bay.

The performance of the returning Thomas Muller was hailed by Bayern Munich coach Jupp Heynckes after they beat Hannover 3-1 to go six points clear at the top of the Bundesliga. Arturo Vidal gave Bayern the lead, before a chaotic first half saw Robert Lewandowski have a goal chalked off by the Video Assistant Referee and Niclas Fullkrug miss a retaken penalty for Hannover, who eventually levelled through Charlison Benschop. Bayern bombarded the Hannover goal in the second half and Kingsley Coman eventually restored their advantage... Читать дальше...

Antoine Griezmann and Filipe Luis urged Atletico Madrid to take confidence from their late win over Real Sociedad into Tuesday's clash with Chelsea as they chase a Champions League "miracle". Atletico came from behind with both players striking in a second-half comeback that sealed a 2-1 LaLiga win over Real at the Wanda Metropolitano, Griezmann's winner coming two minutes from time. The dramatic victory moved Diego Simeone's side to within six points of LaLiga leaders Barcelona, who dropped points at home to Celta Vigo earlier on Saturday. Читать дальше...

Manchester United survived the second-half dismissal of Paul Pogba to end Arsenal's 12-game winning run at home in the Premier League with a 3-1 victory at Emirates Stadium - but only thanks to the brilliance of David de Gea. The Premier League heavyweights took part in a slugfest in the English capital, with Jose Mourinho's side somehow surviving some seriously heavy punishment to run out victors and close the gap on leaders Manchester City to five points. United capitalised on some poor defending to race out to a 2-0 lead... Читать дальше...

Gennaro Gattuso's AC Milan squad can expect to see some changes from the way they worked under Vincenzo Montella, although that will not necessarily mean a greater reliance on Italian players, according to the new boss.  Gattuso replaced Montella following Milan's goalless draw with Torino last week, as the seven-time European champions struggle in Serie A despite major expenditure in the transfer market. And Gattuso is hoping to have an immediate impact against lowly Benevento as he aims to get the Rossoneri working harder in his tenure. Читать дальше...

New West Brom manager Alan Pardew believes he saw enough in his new side's 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace on Saturday to suggest they will pull away from the Premier League drop zone. The Baggies sit in 17th place and are just three points ahead of Roy Hodgson's side, who leapfrogged Swansea City and West Ham as they moved off the bottom of the table with Saturday's draw at the Hawthorns.   Hal Robson-Kanu and Jay Rodriguez missed gilt-edged chances to hand Pardew a win in his first game in charge after taking over on Wednesday...

Paul Clement accepts Swansea City deserve to be bottom of the Premier League after his side lost 2-1 at Stoke City. Wilfried Bony's volley against his old side gave the visitors an early lead, but Xherdan Shaqiri and Mame Biram Diouf struck in the space of four minutes to condemn Swansea to a sixth loss in their last seven league games. Crystal Palace's goalless draw at West Brom saw Swansea drop to rock bottom in the table after 15 matches to pile more pressure on Clement's shoulders. "I believe... Читать дальше...

Watford manager Marco Silva felt his team were denied a "clear" penalty which could have proved decisive in the 1-1 draw with Tottenham on Saturday. The referee waved away appeals for a possible handball by Eric Dier deep into stoppage time at Vicarage Road. It was the second time the hosts were denied a spot-kick after Richarlison went down in the area moments prior to Spurs' first-half equaliser. And after failing to capitalise on Davinson Sanchez's 52nd-minute sending off, Silva believes the... Читать дальше...

Chris Hughton believes Liverpool taught his Brighton and Hove Albion side a lesson in a "naive" performance at the Amex Stadium on Saturday. The Seagulls were crushed 5-1 at home - their biggest Premier League defeat - as the counter-attacking visitors tore through Hughton's men after Glenn Murray had missed clear opportunities. While the Brighton manager was disappointed with the performance, he is now focused on how they can bounce back ahead of consecutive away games against Huddersfield Town and Tottenham.

Robbie Brady was taken to hospital after suffering a "serious" injury as Burnley went down 1-0 at Leicester City in the Premier League on Saturday, confirmed manager Sean Dyche. Leicester led through Demarai Gray's early opener when Brady was hurt in an accidental collision with Harry Maguire, the Republic of Ireland international's momentum carrying him into a heavy clash with the centre-back as he shaped to shoot. Brady was in obvious pain and was taken off the field on a stretcher with his left leg in a brace... Читать дальше...

Sam Allardyce lauded his new side's determination to win after his Everton reign started with a 2-0 victory over Huddersfield Town at Goodison Park on Saturday. The former England manager was officially appointed as Ronald Koeman's permanent successor on Thursday and, although Everton failed to produce a performance to match Wednesday's 4-0 hammering of West Ham, they at least managed to secure back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time this season. Gylfi Sigurdsson and Dominic Calvert-Lewin... Читать дальше...

Antoine Griezmann scored a dramatic winner with two minutes remaining as Atletico Madrid salvaged a 2-1 comeback victory over Real Sociedad in LaLiga. The France international did not celebrate against his former club as Atletico continued their unbeaten start to the league season and closed the deficit to Barcelona to six points after the leaders drew 2-2 with Celta Vigo earlier on Saturday. Willian Jose scored his seventh league goal of the season with a first-half penalty as Real threatened a shock victory. Читать дальше...

Stoke City turned around an early deficit to record a much-needed 2-1 win at the bet365 Stadium and consign Swansea City to the foot of the Premier League table. The hosts fought back from the shock of falling behind in the third minute to ease the pressure on manager Mark Hughes in the process after a run of just one win in their previous seven outings. Wilfried Bony's volley against his former club raised hope for Swansea, who then frustrated Stoke for the majority of the first half only to concede twice in the space of four minutes.

Roberto Firmino scored twice as Liverpool cruised to a 5-1 win over Brighton and Hove Albion in an entertaining Premier League contest on the south coast. The Reds looked to be out of sight when they netted twice in two first-half minutes and then extended their lead further after the break, but Glenn Murray pulled a goal back to threaten a fightback. It never materialised, though, as Jurgen Klopp's men turned on the style in the closing stages. Brighton have made the Amex Stadium somewhat of a fortress this season... Читать дальше...

Demarai Gray's courageous early goal earned Leicester City a 1-0 home win over Premier League high-flyers Burnley on Saturday, maintaining their momentum under new manager Claude Puel. The Foxes have now collected 11 points from six league games since the Frenchman's appointment as Craig Shakespeare's successor, losing only to leaders Manchester City. Leicester were in front early in beating Tottenham 2-1 on Tuesday and the hosts made a similarly strong start here by scoring the opening goal after six minutes at the King Power Stadium.

Chelsea 3-1 NewcastleChelsea came from behind to record a comfortable win over Newcastle, as Eden Hazard grabbed a brace to extend the Blues' unbeaten Premier League run to seven matches.Dwight Gayle had prodded home a scrappy opener for the Magpies after some sloppy defending from the hosts, but Antonio Conte's side responded strongly and an equaliser was inevitable. Alvaro Morata had a strong penalty shout turned down, but moments later Hazard thudded a half-volley down into the turf that flew... Читать дальше...

Sam Allardyce's Everton reign started in victorious fashion, as Gylfi Sigurdsson and Dominic Calvert-Lewin earned a 2-0 win over Huddersfield Town at Goodison Park on Saturday. The former England manager was officially appointed as Ronald Koeman's permanent successor on Thursday and, although Everton failed to produce a performance to match Wednesday's 4-0 hammering of West Ham United, they at least managed to secure back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time this season.

Alan Pardew was unable to inspire West Brom to a first Premier League win since August as his new side were held to a 0-0 draw by Crystal Palace at The Hawthorns. Pardew, who had been out of management since being sacked by Palace 12 months ago, will be pleased with his side's endeavour against his former club, but was left to rue some wayward finishing. Hal Robson-Kanu squandered a clear opening early on, while Jay Rodriguez was denied by Julian Speroni shortly after the interval after being put clear through. Читать дальше...

Robert Lewandowski became the first Bayern Munich to score in all of their first seven home Bundesliga games as they took a six-point lead at the top with a 3-1 win over Hannover. Bayern looked poised for another routine win when Arturo Vidal opened the scoring in Saturday's encounter at the Allianz Arena after 17 minutes. That prospect appeared an inevitability when Lewandowski rolled home on the rebound, but his effort was ruled out by the Video Assistant Referee, setting the tone for a chaotic end to the first half.

Andriy Yarmolenko rescued a point for Borussia Dortmund with the equaliser in a 1-1 draw against 10-man Bayer Leverkusen that might earn head coach Peter Bosz a stay of execution. Dortmund went into the game with Bosz under intense pressure after a run of six games without a win, but his side fell behind after half an hour. Kevin Volland's opening goal came after a defensive howler from Neven Subotic, but Leverkusen then had Brazilian full-back Wendell sent off just before half-time. Against 10 men... Читать дальше...

Gareth Southgate is backing Harry Kane to shine at the World Cup next year and believes the Tottenham striker can lead the scoring charts at the tournament. The 24-year-old forward is set for his first World Cup appearance after a fantastic return of 12 goals in 23 international caps after making his debut for the Three Lions in 2015. Having won the Premier League Golden Boot in each of the last two seasons, Kane is well established as England's main man up front and captained the side in a 2-2 draw with Scotland earlier this year.

Juventus are likely to be without the services of Germany international Benedikt Howedes until the new year, the club has confirmed. The defender has torn a muscle in his right thigh in a continuation of his frustrating start to life in Turin. On loan from Schalke, the 29-year-old has appeared only once in Serie A as he battles persistent injuries. Howedes missed Friday's crucial 1-0 win at leaders Napoli, which saw Juve close the gap at the top to a single point.  's from our  consecutive... Читать дальше...

Eden Hazard says it was sheer instinct that told him to chip his penalty in Chelsea's 3-1 Premier League win over Newcastle United on Saturday. The Belgium star netted his side's third goal with an impudent 'Panenka' finish from the spot to make the three points safe at Stamford Bridge. The finish capped a fine performance from Hazard, who had earlier drawn the champions level after Dwight Gayle's surprise opener, with Alvaro Morata's header making it 2-1 before half-time. Hazard says he did not... Читать дальше...

Former Barcelona star Hristo Stoichkov expects Lionel Messi and his Real Madrid rival Cristiano Ronaldo to continue dominating the Ballon d'Or landscape despite the pair approaching the twilight of their illustrious careers.

The last year in which neither superstar clinched the award was 2007... Читать дальше...

Germany head coach Joachim Low warned his players that they must not underestimate their World Cup opponents to avoid being their own "biggest enemy" at Russia 2018. The world champions were drawn against Mexico, Sweden and South Korea in what Low described as an "exciting group" before giving his assessment of Germany's opponents. Low, who will aim to bring a fifth World Cup trophy back to Germany in 2018 to match Brazil's record haul, highlighted the strength of all three Group F opponents. ... Читать дальше...
