Matchday LIVE: Manchester City extend Premier League lead to six points, PSG & Real Madrid win

It's two for Atletico Madrid, and two for Renan Loni! It's a fantastic bit of play from Atletico and an even better run from Loni (that only looks just offside), but it's a clean finish. No chance for the goalkeeper.

GOAL! Atletico Madrid 2-0 Celta Vigo

Kylian Mbappe is having the night of his life this game, assisting Danilo for PSG's third goal after scoring two.What a man, what a player.

GOAL! PSG 3-1 St Etienne

And Kylian Mbappe does it again, with another assist by Lionel Messi! PSG are in the lead now after going behind to St Etienne early on in the game, and it's the two footballing wizards who have been driving this match.

GOAL! PSG 2-1 St Etienne

PSG have equalised! Of course it is Kylian Mbappe with the equaliser, via a Lionel Messi assist. Of course it is.The Ligue 1 leaders are now level after falling behind early in the game!

GOAL! PSG 1-1 St Etienne

And Atletico Madrid have found the breakthrough! Renan Lodi finally slots into the net after 35 minutes after multiple periods of good pressure from the home side.The Liga champions are ahead!

GOAL! Atletico Madrid 1-0 Celta Vigo

Just like last week, PSG go behind in the early stages of the game. St Etienne take the lead through Denis Bouanga!

GOAL! PSG 0-1 St Etienne

Within the space of a few heartbeats, the whistles go across the Premier League, Bundesliga and La Liga - and three managers let out a huge sigh of relief each.Bayern Munich and Real Madrid snatch late wins thanks to Leroy Sane and Karim Benzema, to keep them both on top in their respective top-flights.But it is on Merseyside where the biggest escape act of the day takes place, as Manchester City nab a late winner through Phil Foden and then survive a remarkable VAR call in favour of Rodri for an apparent handball that denied Everton a shot at an equaliser.Pep Guardiola is all smiles, but fortune has absolutely favoured his side in the end there.

FT: Everton 0-1 Man City

Frankfurt 0-1 Bayern, Vallecano 0-1 Madrid

The pressure tells and Manchester City take the lead with less than ten minutes on the clock!Oh, Everton have been stubborn and have held the Citizens at bay, doing an accidental favour for their greatest rivals no less - but it takes a stroke of luck for the champions to pounce on a possible winner.A flat cross into the box is diverted by a Toffees defender back towards goal and Phil Foden reacts fastest to muscle onto it and hit home at close-range. A cruel blow for the hosts - and a much-needed reward for the visitors.

GOAL: Everton 0-1 Man City

There's the full-time whistle - and it is a potentially massive result at both ends of the table in this Premier League season!Manchester United drop two crucial points and Watford pick up one against expectation at Old Trafford, as a superb Ben Foster stops Cristiano Ronaldo and company in their tracks.Ralf Rangnick looks like a man who has just consumed a full lemon. Roy Hodgson looks like he's got extra gravy on his Sunday roast. Contrasting emotions abound.

A good day for laundry 🧼

And that's an emphatic win for Atletico Madrid, with Renan Lodi scoring a brace to ensure the victory.

FT: Atletico Madrid 2-0 Celta Vigo

It's full-time at the Parc des Princes where PSG picked up a well-deserved three points, thanks to a Kylian Mbappe masterclass. The Frenchman scored the first two goals to make it 2-1 to the home side before providing an assist for the third, leaving the pitch before full-time to applause from the fans.

👏

Half-time in both games, with PSG having pulled a goal back against St Etienne courtesy of Kylian Mbappe, while Atletico Madrid are firmly in the lead against Celta Vigo.

HT: PSG 1-1 St Etienne, Atletico Madrid 1-0 Celta Vigo

Still 0-0 here at the Wanda Metropolitano, though there have been plenty of yellow cards (including one for Jan Oblak) in this first half.Atletico Madrid have just had their best chance to score after 25 minutes, but it's been cleared by Celta.

Atletico Madrid 0-0 Celta Vigo

Pep Guardiola to BBC Sport:&nbsp;"It is Premier League. Second half was much better. Deserved win and three more points."Goodison Park has always been so difficult. When a striker go with Rodri and they defend really well it is always difficult. You have to find the situations and the second half was much better."We moved the ball a bit quicker, we attacked quicker. The second half they were a little more tired. We were solid behind, we don't concede much."On possible Everton penalty:&nbsp;"I didn't see it. I only see the referee make offside so I think the action was offside first but I didn't see. VAR reviewed because maybe they suspect was handball but in the end it was not."

🗣 Guardiola: 'I didn't see the [possible Everton] penalty'

Frank Lampard to Sky Sports:&nbsp;"I think on performance alone but when you play against City you understand how the game may go - possession against your, having to defend, to press to cover, we did it brilliantly."The first half was immense from us. I think we deserved something. They created chances in the second half, nothing in the first."Every player for the application for what they did, their braveness on the ball... I am very proud and on reflection we will look back and think 'what a performance'."We are a bit hurting because of the performance and of a huge decision."On not being given a penalty for handball:&nbsp;"I was calm, I was not shouting and ranting at him. I wanted to know if offside in the build up but I have been told it wasn't in the build up."Go to VAR, they have two minutes to look at it and to think they have not given that as a penalty when it strikes him on the arm, in an unnatural position. I have a three year old daughter at home who could tell you that was a penalty."We are fighting at the bottom of the table and they are fighting at the top and an easy decision to give on a penalty. I don't know what has to happen as a reflection of that. A mistake is when you have done something wrong and don't have time to think about it, they had two minutes to digest the handball."Even if the VAR says not sure, then go have a look. It is incompetence at best, if not that then someone needs to explain what it is."

Team News: PSG v Saint-Etienne

A moment of huge drama at Goodison Park! Manchester City have survived an almighty penalty scare - and even they aren't quite sure how!Rodri appears to quite clearly handle the ball inside his own box as Everton press for a response, and the guilty expression on the midfielder's face suggests he knows he's done for too.Except VAR does not award it! The Toffees are absolutely staggered! City are almost as staggered too, but they're not going to look a gift horse in the mouth!

Rodri escapes handball call

Three out of three!From a trio of half-time draws, Europe's biggest fish look to have escaped with three points each, as Karim Benzema now puts Real Madrid on top with the final few minutes approaching.Los Blancos have arguably been the best of the bunch, it must be said, but they've been pushed hard in this derby clash.

You'd doubt it very much.

HT: Everton 0-0 Man City

Frankfurt 0-0 Bayern, Vallecano 0-0 Madrid

That break didn't feel like it lasted long, did it?Empoli and Juventus are back into the thick of it already in Serie A, with the Bianconeri looking to see this one out with little fuss if they can.Their hosts may have very different ideas about that however...

Back underway in Serie A

Los Blancos take the advantage in the Milan derby!Real Madrid hit the front on the road agains Rayo Vallecano, and it is the evergreen Casemiro who has put them on top.Or has he? Wait - no! VAR has chalked this one off! Offside is the call.

Loud and clear

That's the first half done in Serie A - and it is Juventus who are on top against mid-table Empoli.A late Dusan Vlahovic strike has put the Bianconeri into the lead for the second time in this game - and Max Allegri will surely hope they can spring forwards and make this a routine result after the interval.Keep your eyes fixed here to stay in the loop.

HT: Empoli 1-2 Juventus

Right on the stroke of half-time, Juventus regain the lead!Dusan Vlahovic is there to take a short dink inside the box. He turns the goalkeeper inside out and lashes home to put the Bianconeri back in the box office position!

GOAL: Empoli 1-2 Juventus

The hosts strike back in rapid order!Juventus will be kicking themselves here, as they fail to deal with a corner, allowing it to fall into a sea of moving figures around the six-yard area.Szymon Zurkowski sticks out a leg and knocks it in at the right post amid the attempts to clear.

GOAL: Empoli 1-1 Juventus

The Bianconeri get the breakthrough!Juventus cut a neat path down the left flank and drap a loose cross over the penalty area.Moise Kean - loving life back at the high table once more - is there to head neatly home.

GOAL: Empoli 0-1 Juventus

From Serie A to not one, not two but three European heavyweight clashes now, in the Premier League, the Bundesliga and La Liga!Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are all diving into action right now, against Everton, Eintracht Frankfurt and Rayo Vallecano.Here we go!

Cash produces message of support

The teams are back out at the Theatre of Dreams for the second half - and another massive 45 minutes in the Premier League awaits.Manchester United know a win will do them much good in bolstering a top four spot. Watford know they need the crucial points at the other end of the table.Here we go again!

Back underway at Old Trafford

So, there's been no goals at Old Trafford - but what about elsewhere in the Premier League?That has proven to be more prolific ground. Crystal Palace lead Burnley 1-0 in a result that Leeds United would dearly like to see after another miserable day, while Newcastle have knocked two past Brentford - who are also a man down after Josh Dasilva was sent off.Aston Villa are still playing at Brighton after that delayed start, but they too are up thanks to Matty Cash's finish.

Around the houses

Well, there goes the whistle for the break at Old Trafford - and there's no goals to report in this Premier League clash between Manchester United and Watford.Cristiano Ronaldo did have the ball in the net, but an offside call ruled his finish out, while the rest of Ralf Rangnick's men have piled on the pressure.But it has not produced the goals yet - though the Hornets haven't stung them either. It hangs in the balance.

Team news: Man Utd vs Watford

Spurs are fully in control at Elland Road and are wondering how they haven't made it 4-0.Matt Doherty got onto an excellent pass and lined up a shot, but a fantastic save kept it out. Heung-min Son followed up with a shot from the rebound but it was blocked.

Big double chance for Spurs

A chance just went by for Spurs as Matt Doherty whipped a dangerous ball into the box.Ryan Sessegnong came sliding in to meet it at the back post but was unable to make contact and slid into the post, requiring treatment by the side of the pitch.

Sessegnon down after colliding with post

The second half of the game has had a bit of a stop-start opening 10 minutes.There have been four yellow cards handed out since the restart, with Ryan Sessegnon booked for Spurs for tripping, and Mateusz Klich, Stuart Dallas and Junior Firpo all being cautioned for Leeds.
