“Championship” tells about the brightest events of European football on Sunday.
City destroys United in the Manchester derby
“MS” clearly showed why in recent years he has been collecting titles, while his neighbors only live with the memories of a bright past.
The start of the match was even, but then Haaland got to work: first he converted a penalty for a foul by Hoylund on Rodri, then, without the slightest resistance, he closed a cross from Bernard Silva and then also assisted Foden.
Interesting stats: Erling has 11 goals in 10 rounds. Like Manchester United.

Holland won the Manchester derby. But the result was determined by an extremely controversial penalty.
Liverpool and Aston Villa won as expected, and Brighton could not cope with the outsider
Briefly about three other Premier League matches. The Merseysiders had no problem against Nottingham Forest, launching a three-pointer at their opponent. Jota, Núñez and Salah scored. By the way, the first one after the goal took Luis Díaz’s shirt and showed it to the stands: apparently, it was an act of support for the Colombian, whose parents had recently been kidnapped in his homeland.
The Villa and Luton players scored four goals between them, two of which were own goals. Lockyer and Martinez scored their own goals, while McGinn and Diaby scored against others. It was the efforts of the bottom two that gave the hosts a convincing victory.
Brighton, at the same time, unexpectedly dropped points to Fulham. Ferguson gave Roberto De Zerbi’s team the lead in the first half and Pagliña equalized in the second half.
Monaco slowed down its path to the lead, Mbappé snatched victory from PSG
By taking the three points from Lille, Alexander Golovin’s club would have risen to the first line of the French championship. But the Great Danes were against it. Everything was decided in the second half of the first half thanks to goals from Cavaleiro and Diakite. The Russian played 90 minutes and, according to statistics, scored 0.43 expected assists, however, his teammates did not take advantage of his passes.
Meanwhile, PSG were competing with a sensational team that was in the top five before the tour. And “Brest” surprised the favorite, almost tying with him! Zaire-Emery and Mbappé quickly scored a goal each, but Mounier and Le Doiron made up the difference. Until the 89th minute, the score read 2:2, and then Kylian scored again, ending the match.
Dortmund and Frankfurt gave each other three goals
Borussia and Eintracht Frankfurt had a real penalty shootout. Marmus scored two goals for Frankfurt in 24 minutes: first from a penalty and then from a penalty. But Dortmund did not give up, which they showed again: in the added time of the first half, Sabitzer broke the deadlock and Mukoko equalized at the beginning of the second half. Shaibi put Frankfurt ahead again, but Brandt restored the balance.
Real Sociedad was left without victory after the departure of Zakharyan
This is most likely a coincidence, but it cannot be ignored. After the first half, Rayo Vallecano led 1-0 after Mumin’s goal, but in the second 45′ Oyarzabal scored a double. Sociedad was already preparing to celebrate, but Zakharyan came off the bench in the 89th minute. The Russian could not stop Bebe and sent the ball into the near corner. Hello, I missed three points.
Review and video of Zakharyan’s bad game:
Zakharyan only left for a minute! But this was enough to disappoint the Society.
Ajax fell to last place in the Dutch championship
Matches between PSV and Ajax are almost always a shower of goals, a tight competition and an unpredictable result. However, this was relevant until this season. Now the Ajaxides are hopeless outsiders. Why this happened is a separate story.
The main reasons for the complete failure of the main club in Holland:
Ajax is sinking: the club has not fallen so low in more than 35 years. The crisis arose for several reasons.
The Eindhoven club is a confident leader. The preliminary lineup worked precisely: although in the 40th minute Ajax was leading 2:1, they still conceded four more times and sank to the bottom of the Eredivisie. There will be many possibilities to escape, but the tendency of the big club is very tough.
Incredible comeback for Cagliari, victory for Inter over Roma and beauty for Napoli and Milan
Who would have thought that the highlight of the weekend would be the clash between Cagliari and Frosinone? At the beginning of the second half, the guests launched three unanswered goals at the opponent and the advantage remained until the 72nd minute. And then the pure greatness began. The locals scored four (!!!) goals against the visitors, two of them in added time thanks to Pavoletti. The same one who took the team to Serie A in June with a goal in the 94th minute. What a joker!
“Inter” and “Roma” did not show the same fire, but intrigued with the presence of the one-time Milanese hero Lukaku in the Romans’ lineup. Romelu was expected to perform brilliantly, but he did not show it: he did not create a single moment for himself or his partners. Thuram assumed the role of leader and in the 81st minute he surprised both the Belgian and the entire squad of his new team with a goal.
Naples and Milan closed the day’s program and did not disappoint. On the contrary: their match was great! Giroud scored a double in the 31st minute and once again showed that even at 37 years old he can lead a top-level Club. The Neapolitans did not give up and spent the first half of the second half in exemplary fashion, tying the score: first Politano recovered from his previous monstrous mistake and scored a great goal into the top corner, then Raspadori canceled out Giroud’s efforts. .
The teams did not score more goals, although they created many chances. In the 89th minute, Nathan had left Napoli short-handed with a second yellow card, and even without him the hosts surged to victory. It didn’t work. But even without this, this type of football is worthy of applause.
