Missed victory for Manchester United and Chelsea own goal in the 89th minute

On Saturday, unexpected results were enough not only in the RPL, but also in the leading European championships. So, in England, Manchester United and Chelsea together lost points. Away Mancunians were unable to beat Southampton, although they opened an account in the tenth minute. Superbly starting the season, 21-year-old Welsh midfielder Daniel James scored the third goal in four Premier League matches.

But after the break, Yannick Westergor restored the status quo on the scoreboard. In the end, the favorite managed to literally push the opponent to the gate, especially since the hosts were in the minority after the removal of Kevin Danso, but to score once again “Man. United” was not able to.

Following the points lost and Chelsea. Moreover, the Londoners managed to make a misfire in a home match with a newcomer to the Sheffield United nuclear submarine. At first, nothing portended trouble for Frank Lampard's wards. After the first half, the hosts confidently led 2-0 thanks to two goals of Tammy Abraham. It is noteworthy that the 21-year-old striker scored in the second match in a row.

But immediately after the break, Sheffield managed to play one ball, and in the end Chelsea was waiting for a real embarrassment. After a cross from the left flank, Kurt Zuma unsuccessfully substituted himself under the ball and cut it exactly into the far corner. Thus, the Londoners again were left without victory. In the first four rounds, the blue asset has only one triumph.

Aguero take and Liverpool Achievement

But “Manchester City” with “Liverpool” did not take a bad example of rivals and calmly sent a total of seven goals to the goals of “Brighton” and “Burnley”, respectively. The champion opened the account in the second minute (Kevin De Bruyne scored), and subsequently scored three more times. Sergio Aguero managed to take a double, and Ukrainian midfielder Alexander Zinchenko took part in a pair of successful episodes.

In turn, Liverpool in the match against Burnley won a confident fourth victory in a row and retained leadership in the Premier League standings.

In total, this victory was for Liverpool the 13th consecutive in the Premier League. Moreover, the Merseysiders are only the second team in history, which managed not only to win 13 consecutive victories, but also to score at least two goals in each of these matches.

Misfire of Barcelona

There were some sensations in Spain, where Barcelona, ​​which is still forced to do without the help of Lionel Messi, was content with a productive draw in the match with the modest Osasuna.

Moreover, it remains to recognize this result as quite logical. At the beginning of the game, the outsider completely pressed the favorite to the goal and scored a well-deserved ball. Roberto Torres, with a beautiful blow to the rally, sent a shell under the bar after filing on the right.

Ernesto Valverde released 16-year-old Ansu Fati to save the situation after the break, and the young talent of the Catalans did not disappoint. Just a few minutes after entering the field, the striker scored a debut goal for the adult Barca team. Along the way, Fati, at the age of 16 years and 304 days, became the youngest footballer who had ever scored for Barça in the Spanish Championship. And soon, the blue-garnet did come forward thanks to a goal by Arthur Ramos.

Apparently, believing in their own success, the guests relaxed and paid for it. In the end, Osasuna again managed to seize the initiative and finally earn a penalty ten minutes before the final whistle. Gerard Piquet, with his hand, clearly interrupted the service into the box, and Torres scored a double from the penalty spot. So “Barca” was not able to beat the Pamplona for the first time in six years.

“Tennis” from Bavaria and the unsuccessful trip of “Borussia” to Berlin


The sensation also occurred in the Bundesliga, where the Dortmund Borussia managed to be defeated by a newcomer to the elite division of the Union, who scored only one point in the first two rounds. In turn, the black and yellow took six and came to Berlin for the third consecutive victory.

But as a result, Lucien Favre's team returned from the capital on a shield. In the middle of the first half, the rivals exchanged scored goals, and it seemed that after the break, the favorite would squeeze the opponent. In fact, the victory was won by the Union - 3: 1. The main character in the sensational team was striker Marius Bülter, who scored a double. For the 26-year-old striker, who spent his entire career in the lower leagues, these balls were the first in the Bundesliga.

But the current Bayern champion decided not to support the sensation trend and defeated Mainz with a tennis result - 6: 1 at home. Moreover, it was the guests who managed to open the score, but even before the break the Munich team went ahead, and in the second half they finished off the opponent. Managed to distinguish and Robert Lewandowski, who literally on the eve of the meeting signed a new contract with the club.

Thriller in Turin

Finally, the main event of the gaming day was the confrontation of Juventus and Napoli in Turin. The champion agreed with the vice-champion, and the Neapolitans were eager to take away points from the hosts. However, the match began for the guests extremely unsuccessfully. By the 20th minute, they conceded two goals in the long run.

Moreover, Juventus partially worked according to the principle “there would be no happiness ...”. At the very beginning of the meeting, Mattia De Chillo was injured, but the rookie Danilo who replaced him in the first place scored the first touch in the debut match. A few minutes later, the gate of the former team was struck by Gonzalo Higuain.

After the break, Carlo Ancelotti went all-in and threw Irving Lozano and Mariu Rui into the fray. Substitutions helped the Neapolitans turn the tide of the meeting and push the opponent to the goal. But Juventus managed to score again. After a cross from the flank and an elegant pass from Higuain, the first goal of the season was scored by Cristiano Ronaldo.

It seemed that now the intrigue had definitely died, but the Napoli did not think so. The team went ahead with all their might and in just three minutes managed to distinguish themselves twice, with the newcomers Kostas Manolas and Lozano scoring as guests. And 10 minutes before the final whistle, Ancelotti's team completely managed to recoup. After filing the standard, Giovanni Di Lorenzo sent the ball into the net.

But that was not the end. Already in the time added by the arbitrator, Juventus earned the penalty. Turintsy went to someone else's goal, but never reached the ball. But Kalida Kulibali did it. The Senegalese tried to take out the shell, but ... accidentally cut it into his own gate. So the Napoli comeback turned into an offensive defeat. However, the match between the two strongest Italian teams did not leave anyone indifferent.
