City lose again as Liverpool go five clear at the top

City lose again as Liverpool go five clear at the top

It’s been another good weekend for Liverpool, not only did they win, but Manchester City lost, Arsenal and Chelsea drew and Nottingham Forest squandered a single goal lead to lose 3-1 to Newcastle. It’s looking good for Arne Slot.

Inter missed a penalty against Napoli and blew a chance to go top of Serie A, James Horncastle was watching that one. In Spain, Barcelona went to Real Socieded and lost only their second La Liga game of the season. And in Germany, Bayern Munich won and almost all of their rivals didn’t.

If you have a question, ideally about football, but we’re not fussy, get in touch. You can email imacintosh@theathletic.com or, if you’re listening on the app, leave us a comment. It’s international week, we need the content…
