Matchday LIVE: Man City vs West Ham, Chelsea vs Man Utd, Real Madrid vs Sevilla & today's action

<p>WHAT A STRIKE FROM VINICIUS JUNIOR, MY WORD!</p><p>Real Madrid hit the front with less than five minutes on the clock to go at Santiago Bernabeu and it is an absolute screamer from their winger!</p><p>He brings the ball to earth on the left edge, carves around two defenders to the edge of the box and lofts an absolute rocket into the far-top corner.</p>

GOAL: Madrid 2-1 Sevilla

<p>All square in the capital - and it's that man again, Karim Benzema!</p><p>The man widely tipped to finish in the top three of the Ballon d'Or very shortly strikes to put Real Madrid back on level pegging against their visitors.</p><p>It's a jammy touch - a tap-in after a team-mate rattles the post and the goalkeeper can't scramble to collect - but he won't care one jot!</p>

GOAL: Madrid 1-1 Sevilla

<p>Delight for Sevilla - and disaster for Madrid!</p><p>Rafa Mir tucks a looping header in at the left post and the visitors hit the front inside the first quarter-hour at Santiago Bernabeu.</p><p>Not what Los Blancos ordered tonight in their aim to keep on top of La Liga.</p>

GOAL: Madrid 0-1 Sevilla

<p>All over in west London and the points are shared. Jorginho was heavily involved in both goals, as it was his mistake that allowed Sancho to race clear and break the deadlock.</p><p>The Italy international then levelled from the spot after Wan-Bissaka had tripped Thiago Silva inside the box.</p><p>Chelsea remain top, but are only a point clear of the chasing pack. United might have a new man calling the shots by the time they return to Premier League action at home to Arsenal on Thursday.</p>

We dominated from the first minute, we were aggressive and never stopped attacking. Unfortunately we scored two goals, one for each side."</p><p>He said of Rudiger: "It was a big chance, if he maybe hits the target it could have been a fantastic end to a fantastic performance but we have to swallow the result. We played very well and I am happy.</p><p>"We were very disciplined and sharp. I am happy with what I saw, it was a pleasure to coach on the sidelines. We can not guarantee results but if we play like this we can increase the chances for results."</p><p>Tuchel added on Lukaku, who saw minutes off the bench:&nbsp;"If he is fully fit he is a starter for us but he is not at the moment. It was more than I actually wanted but we were so close to the opponent's goal I thought maybe he could help with his presence."</p>

Team news: Napoli vs Lazio

<p>Manchester United found themselves on the backfoot for long periods against Chelsea, but David de Gea claims they are heading in the right direction. He has told<em> Sky Sports</em>: "We already improved against Villareal, we won, qualified and now we played a very good team away from home. The effort of the team was very good. They had the best chances. For me it is not enough, a draw. We are in a tough moment. I am proud of the effort of the team.</p><p>"On the pitch, in the goal, I was feeling danger for nearly the whole game. We defended well, they missed big chances and the one they give us a chance we score. It is not enough to draw but at the moment it is a big point.</p><p>"The last games before we were conceding three or four goals. We are improving. This is just two games. At least now we are defending well. We are fighting for every ball. We are a team."</p>

Cause for optimism?

<ul><li>During the month of November so far, Manchester United (17) have mustered the fewest number of shots of all Premier League sides, whilst also facing more attempts than any team (60).</li><li>Manchester United managed just one further attempt after taking the lead, with their total of three shots their lowest in a Premier League game since April 2017 against Manchester City (also 3).</li></ul>

Team news: Roma vs Torino

<p>Michael Carrick has taken the brave decision to leave Cristiano Ronaldo out of his starting XI for Manchester United's trip to Chelsea, with the interim Red Devils boss telling <em>Sky Sports</em> of his selection calls: "A few tweaks and changes from the other night, to change things up a bit.</p><p>"Cristiano is probably our standout name, but it's just gameplan, ideas. I had a good chat with Cristiano actually, he was great, and we've decided to go like that today. Really looking forward to the game.</p><p>"It's a decision just to pick a team, to be honest. I don't think it needs more drama than that.</p><p>"Everyone is fine, all the boys who have come out of the team have been terrific around the place, Cristiano included, fantastic with the boys, supporting them 100 per cent and ready to come on if and when needed.</p><p>"We’re happy with the team we’ve picked, for sure. We’ve come here to try and win the game, like we do every single game."</p>

Why is Ronaldo on the bench?

Day to forget for Milan

<p>Manchester City held off a late fight-back from West Ham to secure three points at the Etihad. Ilkay Gundogan gave City the lead in the first half and Fernandinho doubled their advantage in the 90th minute, with Manuel Lanzini scoring a consolation goal for the Hammers.</p>

<p>A six-goal thriller at King Power Stadium, with Leicester coming out on top. Goals from James Maddison, Jamie Vardy and Ademola Lookman were sufficient for Brendan Rodgers' side as Watford fought back through Joshua King and Emmanuel Dennis. An important win for the Foxes.</p>

PSG wait to learn extent of Neymar injury

<p>One game in the Premier League has already been postponed, but the other three went ahead. However, there will be a close eye kept on the situation at the Etihad, according to our Man City correspondent Jonathan Smith:</p><p><em>"The groundstaff are on the pitch right now and are clearing a lot of snow off the pitch and you can the lines and penalty area again. But it was falling extremely heavy by the half-time whistle. They'll be hoping the snow eases in the second half."</em></p><p>⛄️</p>

Snow chance Man City-West Ham could be called off? 🌨

<p>Brentford lead Everton at home thanks to an Ivan Toney penalty, while Leicester take a slender advantage into half-time as well, with Jamie Vardy to thank for that. Elsewhere, Ilkay Gundogan fired Manchester City in front after Pep Guardiola's side saw a Riyad Mahrez effort ruled out earlier in the game, though the snow is falling heavily in Manchester and could have an impact in the second half. Meanwhile, in Italy, AC Milan trail Sassuolo 2-1 at home.</p><p><a href="https://www.goal.com/en/live-scores" target="_blank"><strong>See the scores here!</strong></a></p>

It's half time, here's how it looks...

<p>There have been two more goals at the King Power Stadium.</p><p>Joshua King pulled Watford level from the penalty spot, but it was a shortlived reprieve as Jamie Vardy restored Leicester's lead. It's 2-1 heading into half time...</p>

Leicester take the lead! 1️⃣ - 0️⃣

<p>Riyad Mahrez thought he'd put Man City ahead against West Ham after being played in by Raheem Sterling, but the Algeria international's strike is ruled out for offside.</p>

OFFSIDE! Man City denied! ❌

<p>PSG came from behind to win 3-1 against Saint-Etienne, with Marquinhos and Angel Di Maria being the heroes for the capital club. However the game was marred by a nasty injury sustained by Neymar which left the Brazilian in tears as he was taken off on a stretcher. On a brighter note, Sergio Ramos also made his debut, so he will bring some steel to the backline going forward.</p><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Debut ✔️ <a href="https://t.co/0zHMXx8aVZ">pic.twitter.com/0zHMXx8aVZ</a></p>— Paris Saint-Germain (@PSG_English) <a href="https://x.com/PSG_English/status/1464961640521216008?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 28, 2021</a></blockquote>
