Real, who trailed 1-0 at the break, fought back in the second half to turn the contest around but were forced to hang on in the closing stages after Federico Valverde was shown a straight red card for a foul on Alex Baena - a player he has history with. Ademola Lookman had opened the scoring for Atletico against the run of play with a close-range finish after a wonderful backheel from Giuliano Simeone, son of manager Diego. Vinicius levelled from the penalty spot after Brahim Diaz was upended by David Hancko and the hosts went in front when Valverde latched on to a defensive mistake and placed the ball past visiting goalkeeper Juan Musso. At that stage Alvaro Arbeloa's side looked like they were going from strength to strength. However, Nahuel Molina's stunning 25-yard strike, that arrowed into the top corner, briefly silenced the Bernabeu as Atletico restored parity. But Vinicius curled in the winner six minutes later after collecting substitute Trent Alexander-Arnold's pass - his 10th goal in his past 11 matches. Alexander-Arnold, who was omitted from the England squad named this week, impressed after replacing Real captain Dani Carvajal in the 64th minute. Jude Bellingham, who is part of Thomas Tuchel's plans for the friendlies against Japan and Uruguay, also made his return after the break having missed 10 matches with a hamstring injury. While Real were also able to send Kylian Mbappe on from a star-studded substitutes' bench, the dismissal of Valverde changed the complexion of the contest late on. Argentina forward Julian Alvarez was unfortunate to see his effort cannon against the post as Atletico pushed for a second equaliser. And Real were able to hold on to record their first victory against their neighbours in the Spanish top flight since September 2022. Barcelona had moved seven points clear of Real Madrid with a 1-0 win over Rayo Vallecano earlier on Sunday.

Nico O'Reilly scored twice in four second-half minutes as Pep Guardiola's side overpowered the Premier League leaders with an outstanding display. It was a day of pain for Arsenal and manager Mikel Arteta, whose decision to keep faith with goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga in this competition instead of first choice David Raya backfired badly. Kepa gifted City their first goal on the hour when he dropped Rayan Cherki's routine cross for O'Reilly to pounce with a stooping header. O'Reilly swiftly doubled City's advantage, arriving at the far post to power home Matheus Nunes' cross with another header - Guardiola sprinting down the touchline in celebration. City's win means Guardiola becomes the first manager to win the EFL Cup five times, while Arteta and Arsenal must wait to claim their first silverware since the FA Cup in 2020.

Ronald Araujo headed home a Joao Cancelo corner to give the hosts the lead after 24 minutes. However, they could have been behind in the first minute when Carlos Martin had a tap in from six yards, but goalkeeper Joan Garcia raced out to close down the angle. That was Rayo's only shot on target in a largely uneventful first half. Raphinha fired an effort towards the top corner but it took a deflection and Rayo goalkeeper Augusto Batalla did well to push it on to the crossbar. After the break, Garcia produced a brilliant save to stop Unai Lopez's close-range header from drawing Rayo level. Pacha Espino curled a shot over the bar for Rayo in the 83rd minute as Barca clung on for a vital win. Real Madrid face rivals Atletico Madrid later on Sunday (20:00 GMT) as they look to close the gap back to four points. Hansi Flick's side travel to Atletico after the international break on Saturday, 4 April before facing them twice more in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Having scored in each half, Beto became the first Everton player to score twice in one match at their new Hill Dickinson Stadium, with Ndiaye sealing victory late in the second half. Back-to-back home wins give Everton hope of a first European campaign in eight years, but Chelsea's dismal form continues with a fourth successive defeat in all competitions. It was an energetic Everton who edged the opening 45 minutes, with Beto catching Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez dwelling on the ball, only to be rescued by a Jorrel Hato clearance. James Garner - who received his first England call-up on Friday - later had a shot cleared off the line by Malo Gusto. Chelsea then had multiple efforts blocked, including one created in open play for Joao Pedro, before a flurry of chances from the resulting corner involving Moises Caicedo, Marc Cucurella and Wesley Fofana. Moments later, however, Everton opened the scoring as Garner threaded a pass through the defence and Beto beat Fofana to the ball before lifting it over Sanchez first time with the outside of his boot. Vice-captain Fernandez, who hinted this week that he might want to leave Chelsea, produced an acrobatic volley that was superbly saved by Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford just before the interval. At half-time, Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior introduced winger Alejandro Garnacho in place of Gusto. Fernandez again went closest for Chelsea when he curled a shot from outside the box, only for Pickford to save once more. But it was Beto celebrating again as his powerful strike squeezed through Sanchez after a superb interception and 30-yard run upfield from midfielder Idrissa Gueye to seal the victory. Chelsea introduced winger Estevao Willian and striker Liam Delap, who had been a David Moyes transfer target for Everton, but Iliman Ndiaye curled a sensational third into the top corner late on to secure a dominant win for the Merseyside club. Everton move up to seventh in the Premier League, strengthening their push for European football, and sit just two points behind sixth‑placed Chelsea - who now risk missing out on Champions League qualification.

Michael Olise opened the scoring before a Serge Gnabry double either side of Kane's strike moved Bayern 12 points clear of second-placed Borussia Dortmund. Kane's goal, which took him to 31 for the season in the Bundesliga, means he is now 10 behind the record set by former Bayern striker Robert Lewandowski in 2020-21. "It's still possible, I just have to keep doing what I'm doing," Kane told reporters after the game. "All it takes is a hat-trick or a couple of braces in a row and then it'll look a bit more likely." The England forward's bid for the record could be aided by Thomas Tuchel's decision to rest him for the Three Lions' friendly match against Uruguay. Kane was named in Tuchel's 35-man squad but the England boss confirmed the striker, along with a number of others, would join the camp later to take part in the second friendly against Japan. "I think it makes sense when we look at the April schedule, May and then going into the World Cup, trying to use this time now to be as fresh as possible in that period," the 32-year-old Kane said. "For me and the boys who get a bit of time off, you have to use it wisely, you have to stay fit, stay sharp, but just kind of mentally rest and get ready for a really busy schedule when we get back." Kane will get his next chance to chip into the record when Bayern travel to Freiburg on Saturday, 4 April.
