Tottenham Hotspur – Aston Villa 4:1

Manager Anj Postkoglu's side knocked Manchester City out of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.

Serie A

Napoli – Atalanta 0:3

Napoli and Bergamo Atalanta are two extremely strong teams that meet in the series. Since the start of the league, the leaders have been undefeated in ten consecutive games, and the visitors from Bergamo enter the showdown with four consecutive league wins. Therefore, a balanced and exciting game is worth looking forward to. However, that didn't happen – at least judging by the results.

Ademola Lookman gave Atalanta the lead after just ten minutes, with the 27-year-old Nigerian scoring twice in the 31st minute. After that, the Bergamas team maintained a 2-0 score for a long time until Retegui made a decision in the 92nd minute. While the Europa League title win was well-deserved, that clarity of performance was a bit deceptive. Every shot the visitors had found the back of the net, while Napoli's three attempts failed to score.
