Welcome to the Netherlands, Érick Gutiérrez.
Gutiérrez, a Mexico international midfielder, reunited with former Pachuca winger Hirving Lozano in the Eredivisie when PSV Eindhoven signed the 23-year-old just before the transfer deadline in August.
He made his debut on Saturday, coming on as a substitute against ADO Den Haag.
Five minutes later, he had assisted his compatriot and scored a cracking goal.
We’re going to harbor a guess that you were not watching the Bulgarian First League match between CSKA Sofia and Cherno More on Saturday. In all honesty, it probably would have been a waste of time. But it did have one of the most epic own goals we’ve ever seen.
Manchester City had little trouble with Fulham on Saturday. The Citizens scored less than two minutes into each half and cruised to a 3-0 win. One enchanting piece of Bernardo Silva control summed up Manchester City’s dominance.
Leroy Sané, David Silva and Raheem Sterling all scored for Pep Guardiola’s side, but the team’s loveliest piece of play came from the diminutive Portuguese maestro.
You gotta feel for the Bayern Munich goalkeeper. Early in the match against Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday, an absolutely insane Manuel Neuer double save on Kevin Volland seemingly kept the German giants from going behind on an early penalty kick.
But because the referee hadn't blown his whistle before the penalty was taken, it was all for naught. The kick had to be retaken and Wendell stepped up to bury the second opportunity, giving Leverkusen an unlikely lead inside five minutes.
He’s played for many of the best clubs in the world, including Real Madrid, Barcelona, Inter Milan and Chelsea. He’s been named the African Player of the Year a record for times and FIFA Player of the Year once. And Samuel Eto'o, at age 37, is still going strong.
Samuel Eto'o is an ageless wonder. He’s scored more than 300 goals for club and country in more than 600 appearances. Though he’s since moved on from the glamor leagues of Spain, Italy and England, Eto’o is still scoring goals. Last year in Turkey’s Super Lig he recorded six goals in 13 appearances for Konyaspor.
There was no Neymar, no Kylian Mbappé — not even a Tim Weah. But Paris Saint-Germain still had no problem securing three points on Friday, and this impressive Julian Draxler goal vs Saint-Etienne (and an assist) showed the German is still one of the top playmakers in the world, even if he struggles to crack PSG’s starting lineup.
The full version of FIFA 19 doesn’t drop until Sept. 28, but you can now download the game’s demo on PS4, Xbox One or PC. The demo allows you to play one-off friendly matches using 10 different club sides: Juventus, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, PSG, Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, AS Roma and Tottenham.
You can also get a preview of the latest chapter in Alex Hunter’s “The Journey” and get a taste of FIFA’s offerings now that it’s acquired rights to the UEFA Champions League.
Here we have Club America No. 1 Agustin Marchesin facing an eerily similar situation to the one confronted by Liverpool’s Alisson against Leicester City back on Sept. 1. Alisson, of course, infamously gave the ball away while performing your grandmother’s wedding dance steps, allowing Rachid Ghezzal to pull one back.
