on


With many late victories and contentious refereeing calls, club football made a spectacular comeback from the international break. Manchester City needed an injury-time goal to defeat Wolves, while Liverpool defeated Chelsea 2-1 to reclaim the top spot in the Premier League. Manchester United and Tottenham won, while Arsenal lost to Bournemouth, dropping points.

Barcelona leads the league after winning both of their games ahead of next week's El Clasico. In Italy, Inter and Juventus defeated their Roman rivals, and Napoli defeated Empoli to maintain their league-leading position. PSG and Monaco are tied for first place in Ligue 1, while Bayern and RB Leipzig remain at the top of the Bundesliga.

The top statistics from this weekend's football games are provided by ESPN's By The Numbers:

Under Arne Slot, the greatest manager in Liverpool's history, the team has won 10 of 11 games in all competitions. The only Premier League manager to reach 10 victories throughout all competitions in fewer games than Slot was Pep Guardiola (who won the first 10).

Man City is 4-0-0 this season in these games, and their 32 points and 10 victories after giving up first are the highest in Europe's top 5 leagues since the beginning of the previous campaign. That was City's first Premier League victory in stoppage time since their victory over Newcastle on January 13.
