Manchester United's third league defeat

Manchester United had an excellent start in the Champions League group stage, beating PSG and Leipzig 7-1.

But the team's affairs in the Premier League are not going well so far.

In six starting meetings of the national championship, Ole-Gunnar Solskjaer's wards scored only two victories, and in four home games they scored only one point.

Another setback at Old Trafford awaited them on Sunday in the confrontation with Arsenal.

The Gunners won with a minimum score thanks to a penalty shot by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the middle of the second half.

For the first time in 14 years, the Londoners beat Manchester United in the English Championship away, and also interrupted a 29-game unbeaten run in meetings with teams from the Premier League Big Six (Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal).

The Mancunians, in their hundredth game under the leadership of Solskjaer, for the first time since 1972, have not won any of the four Premier League starting home matches.

The 1972/73 season, the Red Devils finished in 18th place, barely avoiding relegation from the elite division.

In the current draw, Manchester have scored only seven points in six starting games and dropped to 15th place in the standings.

Bale's first goal since returning to Tottenham

Another notable event of the Premier League playing day was the first goal of Gareth Bale after returning to Tottenham.

The Welshman managed to excel at a difficult moment for the team.

In the match with the outsider of the tournament, Brighton, the striker entered the field in the middle of the second half with an equal score (1: 1), and a few minutes later he closed Sergio Regilon's serve from the left flank with his head and helped the Londoners win the most important victory.

The scoring in the match in the 13th minute was opened by Harry Kane, who converted the penalty.

The England striker now has 14 performance points (6 goals + 8 assists).

So far, this is the best indicator among the players of the top 5 leading European championships.

Tottenham managed to climb to second place thanks to the misfire of Everton.

Carlo Ancelotti's wards, who won four wins in a row at the start of the season, unexpectedly lost to Newcastle (1: 2) and extended their losing streak in the Premier League to three meetings.

Thus, the table is topped by Liverpool, and Tottenham are two points behind.

Leadership of Real Sociedad

In the Example, Real Sociedad retained the intermediate first place.

On Saturday, San Sebastians temporarily lost the lead to Real Madrid, but on Sunday they defeated Celta on the road and won their fourth victory in a row in the national championship.

Brazilian striker Willian Jose scored a double in the team, and Mikel Oyarzabal scored points for performance in the fourth round in a row, although he spent only half on the field.

At the moment, he has seven points (5 + 2), and according to this indicator, he is the best player in the tournament.

The only bright spot for Celta was Iago Aspas' goal from the penalty spot.

The 33-year-old scored his 105th in Example for the Vigo team and broke the club's record of over 60 years.

In another match of the tour, Valencia with Denis Cheryshev in the starting lineup at home broke with Getafe (2: 2) and broke a streak of three consecutive defeats in Example.

The Russian spent 78 minutes on the field, but failed to score points for performance.

Javi Gracia's charges opened the scoring in the middle of the first half, but soon after the break they were in the minority.

As a result, in the end of the meeting they almost lost even one point, conceding two goals.

But in the 98th minute, the defender of the guests Damian Suarez, at the cost of a second yellow card, broke the rules in his own penalty area, and Carlos Soler converted a penalty and saved Valencia from another defeat.

Ronaldo's five goals in three Serie A games

In Italy, Cristiano Ronaldo returned to the field.

Due to the coronavirus, the Portuguese missed more than a month, and Juventus, in the absence of the leader, sensationally lost points in the matches against Crotone and Verona.

The away meeting with the Serie A newcomer "Spezia" was also not easy for the Turin people.

Alvaro Morata opened the scoring in the 14th minute, but the hosts won back in the middle of the first half.

However, as soon as Ronaldo came on as a substitute in the second game segment, the fate of the opponent was a foregone conclusion.

Just three minutes after appearing on the field, he realized a one-on-one exit and brought Juve forward.

Then another reservist, Adrian Rabiot, managed to distinguish himself.

The point in the match was set by the Portuguese himself, who converted the penalty - 1: 4.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner scored a double for the second time in his career after coming off as a substitute.

The first time this happened back in 2006 as part of Manchester United.

Also, the 35-year-old football player, having scored five goals in the first three meetings of the national championship for himself, repeated his own record.

Previously, Ronaldo showed such performance in 2014 and 2015 in Example.

Happy to be back and help the team with two goals! 🙏🏽


Well done team 👏🏽

Ibrahimovic's bomber achievements

39-year-old Zlatan Ibrahimovic has already scored the seventh goal in the current Italian championship draw.

He helped Milan win a tough 2-1 away win over Udinese and maintain their lead in the standings.

In the opening of the meeting, the experienced Swede made an assist to Frank Kessier.

At the beginning of the second half, the opponent fought back from the penalty spot, but in the 83rd minute, the veteran again brought the Rossoneri forward, having distinguished himself with a beautiful blow through himself from the goalkeeper line.

Now, Ibrahimovic has eight points for performance in four matches of the national championship (7 + 1), and he leads the tournament's scorers race.

In total, Zlatan, after returning to Milan, scored 23 points (17 + 6) in 22 meetings of the national championship.

And the red-blacks extended their unbeaten streak to 24 games in all tournaments.

Lazio's incredible win in extra time

Zenit's rival in the Champions League group stage, Lazio continues to experience serious staffing problems due to the outbreak of coronavirus.

At the end of last week, the club officially announced the COVID-19 cases in the team, without giving names.

As a result, the Serie A match with Torino was missed by a number of leading Roman footballers, including Stefan Radu, Adam Marušić, Manuel Lazzari, Senad Lulic and Luis Alberto.

And Ciro Immobile with Lucas Leiva returned to the application, but remained in the reserve.

Despite such critical losses, Lazio opened the scoring already in the 15th minute.

But Turintsy quickly bounced back, and in the middle of the first half took the lead thanks to Andrea Belotti's accurate penalty kick.

The striker scored the sixth goal of the current Serie A.

Immediately after the break, Sergei Milinkovich-Savic leveled the score with a beautiful free-kick, and an unexpected outcome came in the last minutes of the meeting.

Shortly before the final whistle, "Torino" again took the lead and it seemed that the opponent had almost no chance to save the match.

However, in the time added by the referee, substitutions carried out by Simone Inzaghi worked.

In the 95th minute, Immobile converted a penalty, and in the 98th minute, former Lokomotiv forward Felipe Caicedo brought Lazio an incredible victory, which should cheer up the team before the most important game in the Champions League with Zenit.

Monaco's big win

“Monaco”, in the absence of the injured Alexander Golovin, interrupted a series of three matches without victories in League 1. October turned out to be extremely unfortunate for the Monegasques.

At first, they were defeated with a minimum score from Brest, then they parted with Montpellier (1: 1), and then lost to Lyon - 1: 4.

However, the last month of autumn began for Niko Kovacs' charges more than successfully.

At home, they sent four unanswered goals to Bordeaux.

In the middle of the first half, the penalty was converted by Wissam Ben-Yedder, and a few minutes later Gelson Martins scored first, and then Kevin Folland.

After the break, the German forward scored a double, these goals were his first after moving to the Monegasque camp.

As for the timing of Golovin's recovery, the Russian footballer, according to media reports, may return to service in two weeks, after the match with PSG on November 20.
