Defender Ronald Araujo scored a dramatic stoppage-time winner against Girona to send Barcelona top of La Liga.
19 Oct 2025
Having been brought on with eight minutes remaining to play up front, centre-back Araujo steered in a Frenkie de Jong pass across goal in the 92nd minute to end Barcelona's two-match losing run and spark wild celebrations.
Pedri gave the hosts the lead at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys with a low shot from the edge of the area which clattered in off a post.
But Girona were soon level against the run of play through Axel Witsel's fantastic overhead kick following a corner.
Barcelona had plenty of chances to regain their lead, mostly through Marcus Rashford, who saw a free-kick hit the bar in the first half.
The Manchester United loanee also had a glorious chance in the second half but could only turn a low cross wide of the target from a few yards out.
Barcelona manager Hansi Flick was sent off for his reaction after four minutes of stoppage time were indicated by the fourth official.
He will miss Barcelona's next league match, against Real Madrid in El Clasico on 26 October at 15:15 GMT.
Leandro Trossard's second-half goal was enough for Arsenal to overcome a stubborn Fulham and move three points clear at the top of the Premier League.
19 Oct 2025
Mikel Arteta came into the match without captain Martin Odegaard and named Eberechi Eze in his place as the manager looked to make the most of the attacking talent at his disposal.
However, it was the home side who started brightest and Fulham went close through Harry Wilson and Josh King, who had an effort tipped over the bar by David Raya.
Arsenal grew into the game and Riccardo Calafiori had an excellently worked goal ruled out for offside.
The Gunners started the second half with more intensity and pinned Fulham back for large parts.
That pressure told in the 58th minute when centre-back Gabriel flicked on a Bukayo Saka corner and Trossard was well positioned to fire home from close range at the back post.
Saka thought he had won a penalty to give Arsenal the chance to double their lead, but the decision was overturned by the video assistant referee (VAR).
The victory means Arsenal move three points clear of second-placed Manchester City - who were top for a couple of hours on Saturday after beating Everton - with Liverpool four behind in third. Arne Slot's side host Manchester United on Sunday (16:30 BST).
England captain Harry Kane scored his 400th club goal as his first-half header helped Bayern Munich beat Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga.
19 Oct 2025
Kane was first to Joshua Kimmich's 22nd-minute corner in Der Klassiker in Munich, nodding Bayern in front with his 21st goal from his 12th match for club and country this season.
Bayern added a second in unusual fashion in the second half when Jobe Bellingham's clearance from inside his own six-yard box bounced in off a sliding Michael Olise.
Dortmund cut the deficit through Julian Brandt, who turned in Julian Ryerson's cross in the 84th minute, but Bundesliga leaders Bayern held on to maintain their 100% winning start to the season.
Kane's 400th goal in club football came 14 years and nine months after his first, which he struck in a 4-0 win for Leyton Orient while on loan from Tottenham, against Sheffield Wednesday in League One in January 2011.
The 32-year-old is averaging a goal almost every 52 minutes this season, and has 104 goals in 107 appearances since he joined Bayern from Tottenham in 2023.
He has also scored 280 goals for Spurs, five goals for Leyton Orient, nine goals for Millwall and two goals for Leicester.
Kane, who has also scored a record 76 goals for England, was once again the star on Saturday. Spending large periods of the game in a deeper role he launched numerous Bayern attacks from inside his own half.
His landmark goal came from his first shot on target in his 607th career match and was his 12th Bundesliga strike of this season.
He has scored in every match he has featured in this campaign bar one, Bayern's 3-2 win over Augsburg is August, a game in which he provided two assists.
Erling Haaland netted twice to continue his sensational goalscoring streak and help move Manchester City up to second in the Premier League with victory over Everton.
19 Oct 2025
Haaland scored a hat-trick for Norway during the recent international break and his second-half double against the Toffees at Etihad Stadium took his tally to a remarkable 23 goals in only 13 games for club and country this season.
The 25-year-old had been kept quiet in the first half but came alive with his first opportunity of the contest, powerfully heading in from Nico O'Reilly's cross.
Five minutes later he converted again, sweeping home from Savinho's cutback, which took a slight deflection off Everton defender James Tarkowski.
Up until that point, it was David Moyes' side who had been carving out the better opportunities, but the inability to take their chances proved costly.
The visitors were on a high following their last-gasp victory over Crystal Palace before the international break, and had Iliman Ndiaye causing all sorts of problems for the City backline.
The Senegal international, who scored here last season, intercepted Nathan Ake's poor pass but his low cross towards the back post could not be converted by Beto, while a weaving run and thunderous shot was brilliantly tipped over by Gianluigi Donnarumma.
At the other end, Everton's Jake O'Brien was fortunate not to score an own goal when he inadvertently directed a header against his own crossbar.
City had created half-chances in the first half, with Savinho scuffing straight at Jordan Pickford from close range and seeing another effort batted away by the England international, before Haaland stole the show once again.
Ange Postecoglou was sacked by Nottingham Forest 19 minutes after Chelsea's Premier League victory at Nottingham Forest's City Ground.
18 Oct 2025
The 60-year-old leaves after only 39 days and eight winless games after replacing Nuno Espirito Santo last month.
Defender Josh Acheampong and winger Pedro Neto scored just after half-time, prompting chants of "you don't know what you are doing" from the home supporters after Postecoglou reacted by immediately bringing on Callum Hudson-Odoi, before captain Reece James sealed victory in a 3-0 win for Chelsea.
Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis left the directors' box after 66 minutes.
Postecoglou will bemoan Forest's failure to capitalise on a dominant first half, when striker Taiwo Awoniyi, making his first start since a serious abdominal injury left him in a coma last season, missed an early chance. Morgan Gibbs-White also missed two first-half chances.
Chelsea struggled with a makeshift midfield, missing the injured Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernandez, while Moises Caicedo started on the bench.
However, three half-time changes by manager Enzo Maresca, including the introduction of star midfielder Caicedo, helped turn the game.
Acheampong, 19, was unmarked when he headed home Neto's cross from close range four minutes after the interval. Neto curled a free-kick past Forest's wall and goalkeeper Matz Sels three minutes later.
James volleyed in a third after a poor Sels clearance and Chelsea defender Malo Gusto was sent off for a second yellow card in a hectic last few moments of the match.
Postecoglou was seen shaking his head minutes earlier after defender Neco Williams volleyed over when unmarked. Substitute striker Igor Jesus then hit the post and bar as poor finishing cost Forest.
Forest lost six and drew two of his eight matches in charge after replacing Nuno Espirito Santo in September.
