"It's Monday, we're into November and roughly one-third through the 2025-26 European club season ... so what did this weekend give us? We had Chelsea dominating Tottenham in one of the most lop-sided 1-0 results you'll ever see. (No seriously: check the stats!) Oh, and Erling Haaland scored two more goals -- taking him to 13 in the Premier League already -- as Man City cruised past Bournemouth to take second place in the table behind the super impressive Arsenal, who also won this weekend to consolidate their hold on top spot."
"Elsewhere, Real Madrid and Barcelona navigated tricky "trap games" ahead of midweek Champions League action with impressive wins, and Luciano Spalletti began his tenure as Juventus manager with victory. Oh, and we got talking points galore for Manchester United (who rallied to draw Nottingham Forest), Paris Saint-Germain (who needed a late goal to beat Nice), Liverpool (who again benched Florian Wirtz in halting their losing slide), Arsenal (whose set-piece prowess carried them to another impressive win), Bayern Munich (who rested stars and still thrashed Bayer Leverkusen), and so much more."
Chelsea produced a statistically dominant 1-0 win over Tottenham that raises doubts about Tottenham's quality and objectives despite their league position. Erling Haaland scored twice to reach 13 Premier League goals as Manchester City beat Bournemouth and moved behind Arsenal, who consolidated top spot. Real Madrid and Barcelona won tricky matches ahead of Champions League fixtures. Luciano Spalletti began his Juventus tenure with a victory. Manchester United rallied to draw Nottingham Forest, Paris Saint-Germain required a late goal to beat Nice, Liverpool benched Florian Wirtz while halting a losing slide, and Bayern rested stars yet thrashed Bayer Leverkusen.
