"European club soccer returned with plenty of drama and excitement after the September international break, so let's review. In the Premier League, we got a Manchester City rout of their rivals Manchester United in the derby, as well as a 93rd-minute penalty for Liverpool to lift them to victory at Burnley and maintain their 100% record to open the season. Phew."
"Elsewhere, Juventus racked up an impressive 4-3 win over Inter Milan to take charge of Serie A in the early going, and Real Madrid's win over Real Sociedad was dominated post-game by more frustration (from Los Blancos) over the refereeing ... again. We also had talking points galore for Barcelona (who are thankful they didn't let Fermín López leave this summer), Arsenal (who stomped Nottingham Forest with a new-look attack), Milan (and a star turn by the ageless Luka Modric),"
Manchester City dominated Manchester United in the derby, with Erling Haaland scoring twice and creating additional chances. New signing Gianluigi Donnarumma made a crucial reflex save that preserved City's lead. Liverpool won at Burnley via a 93rd-minute penalty to stay perfect. Juventus edged Inter 4-3 to lead Serie A early. Real Madrid beat Real Sociedad but continued to express frustration with refereeing. Barcelona retained Fermín López and earned talking points, Arsenal impressed with a new-look attack against Nottingham Forest, Milan benefited from a standout performance by Luka Modric, and Chelsea showed worrying dependence on Cole Palmer.
