Liverpool 0-2 Atalanta Four minutes was all it took for Atalanta to do something that has never been done in a long time.

It was a weekend full of stalemates in Serie A as a number of the top teams were unable to pick up wins. AC Milan most notably failed to extend their lead atop the table before the international break as they barely avoided a shock home defeat to Verona. Juventus were denied three points at the death by Lazio, while
The list of people responsible for guiding Leeds United back to the Premier League after 16 long years away is a lengthy one. But undoubtedly, captain Liam Cooper’s name deserves to be high up on that list. Cooper has long been a prominent figure at the club, earning the captaincy shortly after arriving at Elland Road. And after several years
With just over a quarter of the La Liga season through, Atletico Madrid find themselves in a great position in the title race.

Chelsea 0-0 Tottenham Hotspur A winner-takes-all showdown at the Premier League summit. Both sides kicked off knowing a win would move them to the top of the table.

Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur As Premier League meetings go, let’s not bill this as a meeting of two of London’s super-powers. Of course, it is such a clash but, primarily, it is far more than that.

Olympiacos 0-1 Manchester City Manchester City went six points clear at the top of Champions League Group C tonight after dominating the entire 90-plus minutes against Olympiacos.
