Manchester City victory in class

The current champion of England, Manchester City, after an unexpected defeat from Wolverhampton, managed to rehabilitate himself in front of the fans and won an away victory over Crystal Palace. We can say that Josep Guardiola's wards sorted out the rival in the classroom.

At the same time, the Londoners kept their gates untouched for almost the entire first half, but missed twice before the break. First, Gabriel Jesus closed the feed from the flank with a rebound from the bar, and then David Silva sent the ball into the net between the legs of the goalkeeper after an elegant pass from Rahim Sterling.

In the second half, the “townspeople” could well both bring the score to a large one and skip it. In the end, two amazing saves were made by Ederson, who stood for almost the entire match, without work.

Goalkeeper Incredible Mistake

Meanwhile, the Tottenham Hotspur nearly lost to Watford in last place. Already in the sixth minute, the outsider opened an account, and then locked himself in his own penalty box, holding on to his advantage.

Mauricio Pochettino managed to escape the wards only in the very end thanks to the goalkeeper’s most severe mistake. Ben Foster played very unsuccessfully at the exit and unexpectedly let the ball out of his hands right on Dele Alli, who did not fail to use this blot. However, just in case, the judge resorted to VAR's help to check if the Tottenham midfielder had a hand game, and counted the goal, although the message about Alli’s violation of the rules appeared prematurely on the scoreboard.

The fourth victory of Barcelona in a row

In the championship of Spain, “Barcelona”, while the whole week there was a huge amount of talk about the transfer of el-clasico, on the road did not leave chances to “Eibar” - 3: 0. The Catalans recently scored an excellent move and won four consecutive victories in the Example with a total score of 11: 1.

It is gratifying that all three star strikers of Barcelona managed to distinguish themselves: Antoine Griezmann, Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi. The latter scored two points for performance, noting also assists. At the same time, the Argentine in the last four matches for the Catalans in all tournaments has already knocked out four points for performance.

Zidane's unexpected misfire

The victory in Eibar not only helped “Barcelona” to please its fans, but also brought it to the first place, since the “Real” leader before the reporting round suffered a sensational defeat from “Mallorca” on the road.

The hosts already in the seventh minute had an effective counterattack, which Junior Lago completed with an accurate bite. Surprisingly, this shot on target remained the only one for Mallorca for the entire match.

Having scored, the team in full force lowered into the defense and began to fight back from the attacks of the grand. And to do this was very successful. By and large, “Real” did not have truly dangerous moments. I recall only the blow of Karim Benzema to the crossbar. The absence of Eden Azar, who missed the meeting due to the birth of a child, also affected. And closer to the final whistle, the guests also remained in the minority after the removal of Alvaro Odriosola for a rough foul in midfield. Madrid failed to recoup, they suffered their first defeat in the current season. Examples.

Offensive end to Bavaria

And in the German championship, Bayern made another misfire. Two weeks ago, the current champion lost to Hoffenheim, and now he missed the victory over Augsburg - 2: 2. Moreover, the Munich team missed already at the 26th second after a successful rally in the performance of the opponent, but quickly restored the status quo. Robert Lewandowski scored the 16th goal in 11 games this season.

And immediately after the break, Serge Gnabry, with a strong blow from outside the penalty area, brought eminent guests ahead. Subsequently, Bayern had many opportunities to remove all questions about the outcome of the match, but did not use them, for which it paid in time added by the referee. Substitute Sergio Cordoba on the flank pushed Lucas-Francois Hernandez and executed a cross on Alfred Finbohasson, who could only miss.

Ronaldo's 701th goal and Buffon's new achievement

In turn, the Italian champion Juventus won a difficult victory over Bologna. In the first half, the teams exchanged goals. First, Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 701th goal in his career and fifth in the current season, and then Danilo Laranger delivered an unbreakable shot from the corner of the box.

But immediately after the break, the Turin managed to come forward again. Miralem Pyanich took advantage of a number of curious mistakes of the defenders of the opponent and calmly rolled the shell into the near corner. After that, the favorite could distinguish himself more than once, but the goalkeeper of Bologna Lukas Skorupsky acted beyond praise.

In the end, a couple of important saves were also made by Gianluigi Buffon, who came out in the starting lineup. At the same time, the 41-year-old goalkeeper updated his own record for the number of matches at the club level among Italians - 904 and approached Paolo Maldini in the number of meetings in Serie A - 641 against 647.

Miracle in Rome

But perhaps the most incredible match of the game of the day took place in Rome, where Lazio created a miracle comeback in a game with Atalanta. The first half turned out for wards Simone Inzaghi just a failure. The guests possessed an overwhelming advantage and over and over again discovered huge gaps in the opponent’s defense. As a result, the team from Bergamo led to the break - 3: 0 thanks to the double of Luis Muriel.

However, “Lazio” was not going to give up, and in the second half went ahead with the whole team, almost forgetting about the defense. This paid off in the middle of the second half of the meeting, when Ciro Immobile earned a penalty and he realized it. And before the guests had time to play the ball from the center of the field, they missed again. This time, Joaquin Correa from the transfer of the same Immobile struck heavily in the far nine. So the hosts scored twice in two minutes.

“Lazio” was saved at the very end of the meeting, when Immobile again competently substituted for an opponent's foul in someone else's penalty area and earned another penalty. Of course, he went on his own to beat him and again turned out to be accurate, although the goalkeeper was very close to saving Atalanta.

Moreover, a minute before that, the guests arranged a funny pass in someone else's penalty area, taking advantage of the fact that almost all the hosts' players went ahead, but failed to score even through an empty net, for which they paid.

Championship gait "Vitessa"

It was a good day for Russian legionnaires in Europe. In particular, Vitess Leonid Slutsky won another victory in the championship of the Netherlands. The Arnhemians did not leave the slightest chance to the modest VVV-Venlo - 4: 0 and inflicted a fourth defeat in a row on the opponent.

Moreover, the fans who had gathered at the stadium had to wait for the first goal for almost half an hour, but then the balls fell like a cornucopia. Before the break, the guests scored three times, and Brian Linssen scored twice and brought the number of goals scored in the current season of the Eredivisi to six.

In the second half, Vitesse scored again and won a fourth consecutive victory in the national championship. By the way, the defeats of direct competitors, PSV and AZ Alkmara came in handy. Thanks to the misfires of the opponents, the Arnemians broke into second place, which they share with PSV, and are second only to Ajax.

Along the way, Vitesse set a new club record. In the first ten rounds of the national championship, the team scored 23 points, which had never happened to her before in this segment of the season.

Another ball Komlichenko

And Nikolai Komlichenko, inspired by his debut for the Russian national team, scored another goal in the Czech championship. The domestic forward helped Mlade Boleslav to beat the outsider Fastav on the road - 2-0. For the most striker, this goal was already the ninth in nine matches of the current Czech championship season. With this indicator, Nikolai leads the tournament in the scorers of the tournament.
