Matchday LIVE: Barcelona & Juventus in action after Tottenham defeat Newcastle in Premier League

<p>Pick that one out!</p> <p>Ansu Fati's wait has been a long one - and he has a lot of catching up to do! The Barcelona youngster absolutely drills a finish into the bottom far corner and that squares things up inside the first quarter-hour.</p> <p>Just what Ronald Koeman would want to see.</p>

GOAL: Barcelona 1-1 Valencia

<p>A new era opened for Newcastle at St James’ Park, but there was no change in fortune on the field.</p> <p>The Magpies enjoyed a dream start, when Wilson scored inside two minutes, but Ndombele, Kane and Son hit back for the visitors. Shelvey was sent off late on to complete a fairly miserable evening for the home side, with Dier’s own goal counting for little come the final whistle.</p> <p>There may be better times to come for them, but for now they remain second from bottom in the Premier League table.</p>

Juve set new Allianz record

<p>It's Jose Mourinho time - and the Roma boss feels his side deserved the victory, not Juvnetus.</p> <p>“I can only say I saw a great Roma today. That’s what I told my players in the locker room,” he tells <em>DAZN</em>.</p> <p>“I saw courage, confidence, belief. Obviously, the defeat will always be a defeat, but if I look at the project, that means looking at the growth of the team over time.</p> <p>“I might see it differently to you, but I saw the team that deserved to win ended up losing.

Guess who's back

<p>Three goals and three points for the Blaugrana - and Ronald Koeman has seen his side pick up what could be a massive result in their season.</p> <p>They recover from an early Valencia concession to storm back to take victory, with Ansu Fati and Memphis Depay both at the heart of their revival.</p> <p>For the former in particular, it is sweet after so long out.</p>

Barca claim crucial win

<p>Lost in the backdraft of that goal is a pretty big moment - here comes Sergio Aguero off the bench for Barcelona!</p> <p>The former Manchester City man - who famously came to the club to play alongside Lionel Messi and then promptly saw him leave for PSG - will get some crucial minutes under his belt.</p> <p>One of the all-time Premier League greats, back to finish the job in La Liga.</p>

Aguero makes return in La Liga

<p>That's the game for the Blaugrana!</p> <p>Valencia have been in with a sniff of a result this second half, but they have not come up with the goods in time to stop&nbsp;Philippe Coutinho from surely winning it for Barcelona.</p> <p>Sergio Dest sets him up and the close-range finish does the trick.</p>

GOAL: Barcelona 3-1 Valencia

<p>That's the full-time whistle - and the Bianconeri take the spoils against Jose Mourinho and company!</p> <p>The Portuguese will surely have some of his usual words to say on that one.</p> <p>But the hosts will be delighted to come away with the goods.</p>

<p>Just what the doctor ordered at Allianz Stadium!</p> <p>Rodrigo Bentancur gets the build-up touch and Moise Kean gets the finish, pushing a header into the back of the net.</p> <p>The hosts lead. Jose Mourinho looks disgruntled.</p>

GOAL: Juventus 1-0 Roma

<p>Steve Bruce's post-match comments have been marred by a heckler, as fervour continues to mount over the manager's future. His exit feels more a question of when than if.</p> <p>But the former Manchester United great is still in charge for now, and these could well be his last comments.</p> <p>"Excuse the idiot," he says, before continuing. "We have to defend better, be a little better to watch but as soon as we open ourselves up we concede at the minute.</p> <p>"Spurs did not have to do much to score, there lies the problem. It is a problem we have had for a while and we have to keep working on it."</p>

Bruce: Excuse the idiot

<p>And, to conclude what has been another jam-packed weekend of club football, the under-fire Blaugrana are off against Valencia in La Liga!</p> <p>Maybe Steve Bruce and Ronald Koeman could have a job swap? Just a thought.</p> <p>And speaking of the supremo of Los Urracas...</p>

<p>Shelvey was introduced as a second-half substitute on the hour mark, but he won’t see the game out. After collecting one yellow for a clumsy challenge, he gets another for tripping Reguilon as the Spanish full-back threatened to run away from him and in on goal. Newcastle down to 10.</p>

Road warrior

<p>Everton boss Rafa Benitez was reluctant to look for excuses on the back of Everton’s narrow defeat to West Ham, with the Spaniard disappointed to concede from a corner in a game that saw him without Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison.</p> <p>He told <em>BBC Sport</em>: "We can talk about the corner, which was not a corner for me. You have to protect your keeper in the six-yard box and it something that is difficult to understand in England because that is why you have the six-yard box - to ensure the keeper is a bit more protected. Anyway it was a corner, we concede and after that we have to be better on the ball.</p> <p>"The reaction was there but when you play against a very good team that is well organised you have to be more precise but we didn't do it.</p> <p>"It was done and we cannot change anything.</p> <p>"Any team losing their top scorers will have some issues and problems but we were winning without them and the team was really good without them."</p>

No excuses

<p>West Ham boss David Moyes believes his side were good value for their 1-0 win at Everton, with any question of whether Michail Antonio fouled Jordan Pickford in the build to the corner which led to Angelo Ogbonna’s goal being shrugged off.</p> <p>Moyes has told <em>BBC Sport</em>: "I had forgotten that part of the build-up to the goal. Maybe you can tell me better than I can because I've not seen it again to tell whether it was or wasn't.</p> <p>"I think overall we deserved it because of the way we played, we played some really good stuff. We had a lot of the ball, maybe just in the final third we could have been a bit cleaner.”</p>

Newcastle vs Tottenham team news

<p>A breakthrough at last! Ogbonna gets across Godfrey from a corner and glances past Pickford from close range. Will that spark Everton into life?</p>

GOAL: Everton 0-1 West Ham

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">5 – There's only been two instances of a Bundesliga team scoring five goals earlier in an away match than FC Bayern have done so today (37 minutes) – Dortmund in 1964 at Schalke (after 23 minutes) and Karlsruhe also in 1964 in Frankfurt (30 minutes).

A first in 57 years...

<p>Keane among those throwing himself at everything in a bid to keep Everton on terms with West Ham. Antonio thinks he has a sight of goal at one stage, but the door is slammed in his face. A breakthrough is not going to come easily.</p>

Bodies on the line

<p>Half-time in a meeting between first and second in the Bundesliga, with the gulf in class currently standing at five clear goals...</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Having fun out there? 👀 <br><br>🔴⚪ <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/B04FCB?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#B04FCB</a> 0-5 <a href="https://t.co/NfEtfmquiu">pic.twitter.com/NfEtfmquiu</a></p>— FC Bayern English (@FCBayernEN) <a href="https://twitter.com/FCBayernEN/status/1449740355654635526?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 17, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async="async" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Bayern in complete control

<p>There is plenty of attacking talent on display at Goodison, with Toffees winger Gray among those to have enjoyed a productive season so far, but collective lines are being fluffed at present. Shooting boots appear to have been left at home.</p>

Forwards not firing

Four goals in the space of eight minutes for Bayern and they are now five in front against out-of-sorts Leverkusen. Safe to say that is game over before half-time has been reached! Muller has got in on the act, while Gnbary has matched Lewandowski by bagging a brace.

Five for Bayern

<p>Everton and West Ham continue to keep each other at arm’s length early in the second half. Ogbonna has thrown himself in front of a shot from Iwobi, with a goal needed to bring this game to life.</p>

Little to shout about

<p>Lewandowski has his second for Bayern inside half an hour. No mistake from the Pole as he turns home from close range following good work by Davies.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">TEAM ❤️ <a href="https://t.co/fXeu94xjPR">pic.twitter.com/fXeu94xjPR</a></p>— FC Bayern München (@FCBayern) <a href="https://twitter.com/FCBayern/status/1449735316286357515?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 17, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async="async" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

A goal scoring machine?

<p>It is around this time that we should have been bringing you team news from Spain, but Madrid giants Atletico and Real have both seen their games postponed this weekend as a result of South American World Cup qualifiers running into the early hours of Friday morning European time. They will both return to action in midweek Champions League competition.</p>

All quiet in Madrid

<p>No goals at Goodison. The hosts have had the better chances, but the visitors have looked the better team. Plenty of room for improvement as Benitez and Moyes get an opportunity to make tactical tweaks at the interval.</p>

HT: Everton 0-0 West Ham

<p>Bayern have broken the deadlock already, with Lewandowski firing them in front inside four minutes...</p>

Who else but him?

<p>NFL action is back at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium today, and Rice is doing his best to fill quarterback duties for West Ham. He is seeing plenty of the ball, as the Hammers look for him to pull the strings, but a final pass to the end zone. For Everton, Iwobi has had an air shot at a dangerous cross from Gray in what is probably the best chance of a quiet contest.</p>

Rice at quarterback

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 can't wait for this one 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/B04FCB?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#B04FCB</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/packmas?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#packmas</a> <a href="https://t.co/ljwHFZ76b2">pic.twitter.com/ljwHFZ76b2</a></p>— FC Bayern English (@FCBayernEN) <a href="https://twitter.com/FCBayernEN/status/1449726329780383745?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 17, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async="async" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Will Bayern's stars shine?

<p>Benitez and Moyes doing their best to get messages across from the touchline, but are those words getting through? No clear direction as yet from either side, but the hosts are starting to play their way into the game after making a slow start.</p>

Mixed messages

<p>No goals and few chances inside the opening 10 minutes at Goodison, but West Ham have looked bright. A couple of nervy moments for Toffees goalkeeper Pickford, but nothing to trouble him too much so far. Antonio, as always, has been putting himself about up top for the Hammers, but his most telling contribution so far has been collecting a yellow card for simulation.</p>

Hammer time

<p>Elsewhere today, Swansea have taken the spoils in a derby date with South Wales rivals Cardiff. Jake Bidwell put the finishing touches to a 3-0 win for the Swans in some style.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">What a goal!

Derby delight

<p>The first top-flight fixture of the day is underway at Goodison Park. Rafa Benitez and David Moyes once crossed coaching swords on opposing sides of a fierce Merseyside derby divide, so need no introduction to one another.</p> <p>Everton are looking for three points that will give them a best-ever start to a Premier League season, while West Ham are trying to equal a club-record run of seven games unbeaten away from home.</p>
