Barcelona made it three wins in a row with a commanding 3-0 victory over Getafe on Sunday, September 21, 2025. Ferran Torres scored twice in the first half, and Dani Olmo added a third after the break, keeping Barça unbeaten this season.

From the opening whistle, Barcelona controlled possession and created chance after chance. Torres opened the scoring in the 15th minute after a clever assist from Dani Olmo and doubled the lead just before halftime with a thunderous strike from outside the box.

Getafe tried to respond after the break but struggled to break down Barcelona’s organized defense. The third goal came in the 62nd minute, with Marcus Rashford setting up Olmo to finish calmly, sealing the win.

Torres was the standout performer, while Olmo and Rashford impressed with their attacking contributions. Barcelona’s defense remained solid throughout, keeping a clean sheet and demonstrating why they are serious title contenders.

Arsenal and Manchester City shared the spoils in a tense Premier League encounter at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, as Gabriel Martinelli’s stoppage-time strike salvaged a 1-1 draw for the Gunners. The result leaves Arsenal unbeaten against City in recent meetings, but both sides may feel they missed a chance to make a strong statement in the title race.

City made the brighter start and struck in just the ninth minute. Tijjani Reijnders launched a rapid counterattack, combining with Erling Haaland, who finished with trademark precision past David Raya to give the visitors the lead. Arsenal, by contrast, struggled for rhythm in the first half, finding it difficult to break down City’s compact shape while also leaving themselves vulnerable on the break.

The second half saw a shift in momentum. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta introduced Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze, whose energy and creativity tilted the game in the home side’s favour. Arsenal pressed higher, dominated possession, and carved out opportunities, but City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma stood firm, making key saves to frustrate the Gunners. Pep Guardiola’s side, meanwhile, chose to sit deep and protect their narrow lead, sacrificing attacking intent in favour of defensive organisation.

Just when it seemed City’s resilience would deliver all three points, Arsenal struck back in dramatic fashion. In the third minute of stoppage time, Eze’s long ball released Martinelli, who kept his composure to lob Donnarumma and send the Emirates into raptures. The goal secured a deserved point for Arsenal, who had pressed relentlessly in search of an equaliser.

The result leaves Arsenal on 10 points from five matches, while City sit on seven. For Arsenal, the draw was a relief but also a reminder of the fine margins in top-level contests. For City, the late concession underscored lingering questions about their ability to maintain control when defending a lead. Both teams, however, remain firmly in the early title picture, and Sunday’s clash offered a glimpse of the intensity likely to define the race ahead.

Watch the highlights here:

Manchester United secured a vital 2-1 victory over Chelsea at Old Trafford on Saturday, September 20, 2025, in a match filled with early drama and late tension. The result lifted pressure off United’s manager Ruben Amorim, while Chelsea were left frustrated after failing to capitalise on key moments.

The game turned inside the opening minutes when Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sánchez was sent off for a reckless foul on Bryan Mbeumo. United took advantage quickly, with Bruno Fernandes putting them ahead in the 14th minute after a Patrick Dorgu cross. Casemiro then doubled the advantage in the 37th minute, nodding home from a Luke Shaw header across the box.

Just before halftime, however, Casemiro was dismissed after collecting a second yellow card, leaving both sides with ten men for the entire second half. Chelsea grew into the game and finally pulled one back in the 80th minute when Trevoh Chalobah rose highest to head in from a Reece James corner, setting up a tense finish.

Despite Chelsea’s late pressure, United’s defence stood strong to secure the win. Fernandes’ leadership and early goal proved decisive as the Red Devils claimed three valuable points. For United, the result stabilises their season; for Chelsea, it marks a missed opportunity after enjoying long spells of possession.

The match also highlighted the impact of key tactical decisions. Ruben Amorim’s side showed resilience under pressure, maintaining their shape and exploiting counter-attacking chances, even after being reduced to ten men. Chelsea, by contrast, struggled to break down a well-organised defence, with several promising attacks ending in frustration.

Fans at Old Trafford were treated to a rollercoaster of emotions, from the early sending-off to the late surge from Chelsea. The atmosphere reflected the high stakes of the Premier League, where a single moment of brilliance or lapse can define the outcome. United will take confidence from the win, while Chelsea must regroup quickly ahead of their next fixture.

Man of the Match: Bruno Fernandes
Bruno Fernandes was the standout performer for Manchester United, opening the scoring early and dictating play throughout the match. His composure on the ball and leadership proved crucial, particularly as United weathered late pressure from Chelsea.
