From 2-0 down, the reigning champions have turned things around to win 3-2 and continue their perfect start to the season.<\/p>\n Marcus Thuram<\/a> drew them level in the 82nd minute before Martinez bagged his second of the game in stoppage time to seal all three points.<\/p>\n 19:28 CET –\u00a0French Super Cup champions Lens<\/a> have lost their second game in a row, being beaten 1-0<\/a> at home to Lorient<\/a>.<\/p>\n 19:19 CET –\u00a0There were no goals in the first halves of Bayern’s and Villa’s matches, but things have come alive in Milan!<\/p>\n After three goals in six minutes, Napoli lead 2-1, with Matteo Politano<\/a> and Rasmus Hojlund<\/a> seemingly putting the visitors in control but Lautaro Martinez<\/a> then immediately getting Inter back in the game.<\/p>\n 18:54 CET –\u00a0It has been a tight and ultimately goalless first half at the San Siro, where Inter have seen more of the ball and had more efforts on goal but haven’t gone particularly close to taking the lead.<\/p>\n 18:30 CET –\u00a0Inter aren’t the only ones in early-evening action in Europe, with Bayern Munich and Aston Villa about to kick off against Hull and Schalke respectively – follow every kick of those clashes at the links below.<\/p>\n Schalke vs Bayern Munich<\/a><\/p>\n Hull vs Aston Villa<\/a><\/p>\n 18:19 CET –\u00a0Atletico Madrid have suffered their first defeat of the season, with Diego Simeone’s side conceding three in the second half to lose 3-0 to Athletic Club.<\/a> Among the goalscorers for the hosts was Nico Williams<\/a>, who got his first of the season.<\/p>\n 18:01 CET –\u00a0Elsewhere in the Premier League, Tottenham’s<\/a> winless start to the season continued, with Roberto De Zerbi’s side drawing 0-0 with Nottingham Forest.<\/a><\/p>\n Of the sides to have played three matches, only Coventry and Fulham have fewer points.<\/p>\n 17:57 CET –\u00a0Man City have seen things out to beat Coventry<\/a>, but it was a far less convincing win than was widely expected, with the hosts unable to find a second goal and Frank Lampard’s side having more efforts than their opponents in the second half. The Premier League new boys can feel somewhat hard done by, which is a story in itself.<\/p>\n 17:25 CET –\u00a0Bayer Leverkusen have cruised to a 4-0 win over Union Berlin<\/a>, but things were much more dramatic in the other afternoon kick-offs in the Bundesliga.<\/p>\n After claiming a shock victory over Leverkusen in their season opener, new boys Elversberg<\/a> have claimed another dream result, beating Gladbach 4-3<\/a> thanks to a 92nd-minute winner after trailing 3-1 just 40 minutes earlier.<\/p>\n Borussia Dortmund<\/a> have pulled off a similar comeback, overturning a 2-0 deficit to beat Hoffenheim 3-2<\/a> courtesy of an equaliser from substitute Fabio Silva<\/a> and a late own-goal.<\/p>\n That leaves the two sides joint-top with Freiburg, an outcome that Elversberg fans wouldn’t have even dreamed of a few weeks ago!<\/p>\n 17:11 CET –\u00a0A high-profile clash in Spain is level at the break, with neither Athletic Club<\/a> nor Atletico Madrid<\/a> able to break the deadlock in Bilbao.<\/p>\n Over in Italy, Inter and Napoli will contest one of the weekend’s biggest matches<\/a> in just under an hour, and this is how they line up for it:<\/p>\n 16:50 CET – Half-time across the Premier League, where Erling Haaland<\/a> has headed Manchester City in front against Coventry City, whilst Leeds United lead on the South Coast against Brighton thanks to Jayden Bogle<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Meanwhile, at Craven Cottage, Cesar Palacios<\/a> is already making a name for himself with his first goal for the hosts as they lead 2-1 against Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n The Eagles could be level, if it wasn’t for VAR intervening.<\/p>\n Follow all the Premier League action here.<\/a><\/p>\n 16:33 CET –\u00a0After last week’s defeat to Strasbourg, last year’s Ligue 1 runners-up, Lens<\/a>, have an easier task today against Lorient<\/a> at home – one paper, at least.<\/p>\n They have been defeated just once by today’s opponents at home in the last 12 meetings, including last season, when Lens won 3-0.<\/p>\n Can they do it again today – follow the fixture from 17:15 CET<\/a>.<\/p>\n 16:18 CET – Let’s check in with the Bundesliga, where we have reached the half. The big story, at the moment, is that Dortmund are behind at Hoffenheim after Leon Avdullahu<\/a> scored his first-ever league goal for the club on his 35th appearance.<\/p>\n Bayer Leverkusen lead too, whilst Werder Bremen are ahead against RB Leipzig.<\/p>\n Follow all the games from Germany’s top flight now.<\/a><\/p>\n 16:00 CET –\u00a0Here we go then, it feels like a traditional afternoon of Premier League action with five traditional mid-afternoon fixtures underway.<\/p>\n Use the links above to follow every kick, whilst we will be here to bring you the best of the action.<\/p>\n Some late team news from Manchester City, as Enzo Fernandez<\/a> will make his full debut after all, as he replaces Nico O’Reilly<\/a>, who seemingly picked up an injury in the warm-up.<\/p>\n 15:26 CET – All over at St James’ Park, and the ongoing Bournemouth curse of conceding late goals continues as they draw 2-2 with Newcastle.<\/p>\n They led into the 88th minute, only for Jacob Ramsey<\/a> to slot home and snatch a point for the hosts despite an afternoon where they only registered two shots on target.<\/p>\n Read the report now.<\/a><\/p>\n 15:15 CET –\u00a0Over in LaLiga, we have an intriguing clash this afternoon as Athletic Club<\/a> take on Atletico Madrid<\/a> at San Mames.<\/p>\n The big news is that Julian Alvarez<\/a> returns to the matchday squad after a tumultuous couple of weeks for the Argentine and his transfer saga with Barcelona.\u00a0<\/p>\n He doesn’t start, though, nor does Jonathan David<\/a>, who is also on the bench.<\/p>\n Follow the game from 16:15 CET.<\/a><\/p>\n 14:55 CET – We are 20 minutes into the second half at St James’ Park, and Newcastle have introduced new signing Matias Fernandez-Pardo<\/a> as they still chase an equaliser.<\/p>\n As the match momentum shows, they are having more chances, but Bournemouth are holding firm, for now…<\/p>\n 14:50 CET – Team news flooding in from across the Premier League with a hectic afternoon of football ahead of us.<\/p>\n Plenty of players will be making their debuts today, and one is Iliman Ndiaye<\/a>, who gets the nod as Manchester City host Coventry City at the Etihad.

Borussia Dortmund<\/a>, many people’s picks to be the closest challenger in the Bundesliga, face a potential banana skin with a trip to Hoffenheim<\/a>.<\/p>\n Ethan Nwaneri makes the bench for the first time, whilst Inacio, who scored three in midweek, is ruled out via suspension.<\/p>\n Follow the Bundesliga’s 15:30 CET kick-offs here.<\/a><\/p>\n 14:21 CET –\u00a0Meanwhile, our earlier game in Serie A today sees two sides trying to get off the mark. Fiorentina<\/a> and Torino<\/a> have been beaten in their first two games and will already be feeling the pressure to perform.<\/p>\n La Viola do have the wood over the visitors today, with an eight-match unbeaten run against Torino heading into this one.<\/p>\n Follow the game right here from 15:00 CET.<\/a><\/p>\n 14:18 CET – Half-time in the North East, and it has been an entertaining tussle with Bournemouth<\/a> taking advantage of some deflections to lead 2-1 over Newcastle<\/a>. After their second, the hosts found an immediate reply, with Harvey Barnes<\/a> curling one into the top corner from the edge of the area.<\/p>\n The Cherries have been able to boss the midfield, with Alex Scott<\/a> showing just why he is so revered by many Premier League teams. The England Under-21 international has two interceptions and the most touches inside the box of both sides. He was also involved in both goals, but his manager, Marco Rose, will be worried about Newcastle’s wide threat.<\/p>\n 13:30 CET –\u00a0Underway at St James’ Park, and we have live audio commentary of the match right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n 12:30 CET –\u00a0Time to get the action started in the Premier League this afternoon, as Newcastle host Bournemouth<\/a> in a poignant afternoon for Eddie Howe, watching on from a beach, probably.<\/p>\n Matias Fernandez-Pardo<\/a> is on the bench for the home side, as he awaits his debut, whilst Yoanne Wissa<\/a> starts up top.<\/p>\n 09:35 CET –\u00a0The football action gets underway in a few hours, as Newcastle<\/a> look to continue their good start to the season at home to Bournemouth<\/a>.<\/p>\n There were some big results last night, though, as PSG<\/a>‘s really poor start to the season showed no sign of letting up, losing 2-1 at home<\/a> to Monaco<\/a>. They now have two points from a possible nine.<\/p>\n Meanwhile,\u00a0Real Madrid<\/a> and Jose Mourinho suffered their first defeat of the campaign, falling 1-0<\/a> to Real Betis<\/a> thanks to Troy Parrott<\/a>, before Kylian Mbappe<\/a> missed a stoppage-time penalty.<\/p>\n However, there were no issues for Liverpool<\/a>, as Alexander Isak<\/a> finally showed signs of his best with a brace in a 2-0 win<\/a> over Ipswich<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Another weekend has arrived, and that means plenty more football to look forward to!
