PARIS - Lionel Messi's early goal earned Paris Saint-Germain a 1-0 win at Lyon on Sunday as they opened a two-point lead at the top of Ligue 1.
Messi found the back of the net with his fourth league goal of the season in the fifth minute to put Christophe Galtier's side on 22 points from eight games.
Real Madrid restored its two-point lead over Barcelona at the top of LaLiga with a surgical 2-1 win at the home of eternal rival Atlético Madrid on Sunday evening.
Juventus’ already dreadful September has somehow managed to get even worse. A miserable run of form saw the club winless with two draws and two losses and thousands of fans calling for “Allegri Out” on social media going into Sunday’s match against newly promoted AC Monza. What followed was a performance that would earn almost any top club’s manager the sack, as Monza handily beat Juventus 1-0 and thoroughly deserved to do so.
Lyon kept pace with rival PSG at the top of the Division 1 Féminine table by beating Soyaux 2-1 on Sunday afternoon.
After opening the season last weekend with a commanding 5-1 victory over Stade Reims behind a Daniëlle van de Donk brace, Lyon found things more difficult on the grounds of the Groupama OL Training Center.
The match required a moment of magic from American midfielder Lindsey Horan in the 32nd-minute to open the scoring. After failing to get off the bench in Lyon's first game, Horan started alongside Van de Donk and Sara Däbritz in a three-woman midfield.
LONDON - Fifteen-year-old Ethan Nwaneri became the youngest player in Premier League history when he came on as a substitute for Arsenal as they returned to the top of the Premier League with a comfortable 3-0 win at Brentford on Sunday.

LONDON — Son Heung-min ended his scoring drought in stunning fashion with a sublime hat trick as Tottenham Hotspur crushed Leicester City 6-2 to move joint top of the Premier League on Saturday.

Bayern Munich suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to Augsburg on Saturday, but the Bavarians nearly pulled out a late equalizer from a Manuel Neuer header. Only the goal-line save from the other keeper, Rafal Gikiewicz, kept Augsburg in front in the 95th minute.
It doesn't seem fair to even call it a tackle. A more apt description would be “murder attempt.” Wolves found itself behind early against Manchester City, but center back Nathan Collins almost killed Man City winger Jack Grealish with a ridiculous challenge, as City cruised to a 3-0 win.
A straight red card to Nathan Collins for this foul on Jack Grealish. Wolves are down to 10 men.
A fabulous surge of goals from Fulham shocked Nottingham Forest 3-2 at the City Ground on Friday night. Three goals from three different scorers in six minutes is massively impressive, especially considering none were scored by the Cottagers’ top scorer Aleksandar Mitrović.
Fulham level the match thanks to Tosin Adarabioyo's goal off of the corner kick!
That’s it. The competition is over. Cristiano Ronaldo is now the undisputed GOAT, doing something Lionel Messi never could.
Ronaldo scored his first career Europa League goal in Manchester United’s 2-0 win over Sheriff Tiraspol on Thursday, giving him infinity times more goals in the competition than Messi.
And, of course, Ronaldo scored it from the penalty spot.
