Manchester City's crisis grows ++ wins for Arsenal and Chelsea

Premier League

Manchester City-Tottenham Hotspur

Neither the international break nor manager Pep Guardiola's contract extension has put City back on track. Manuel Akanji's English champions lost 4-0 to Tottenham Hotspur.

The defeat at their own stadium was the fifth consecutive defeat for Pep Guardiola's side and their third in the Premier League. Liverpool can extend their lead at the top of the table to eight points with a victory over Southampton on Sunday.

James Maddison, on his 28th birthday, scored two goals in the opening 20 minutes to send Manchester City into an early collapse. In pouring rain, Pedro Polo and Brennan Johnson completed Spurs' sweep of victory. The Londoner surprised City and the defense around Manuel Akanji on several occasions with counter-attacks.

AC Milan-Juventus 0:0

There were no goals scored between AC Milan and Juventus Turin. In the match between two traditional clubs, Juventus only allowed 1 shot. This is already the tenth game that Juventus has not conceded a goal this season.

Milan fans were clearly frustrated with their team's poor offensive performance. After the game, the whistle sounded throughout San Siro. Juventus remains the only team without a loss and is currently 3 points behind Inter Milan. Milan are still in trouble, with just 19 points after twelve games.

Atletico Madrid 2:1 Alaves

Diego Simeone celebrates victory in his 700th match as Atletico Madrid coach. Madrid beat Alaves 2-1 thanks to late goals from Antoine Griezmann (75th) and Alexander Soros (86th).

The 54-year-old Argentine has also guided Colchoneros to two Champions League finals (losing to Real Madrid in 2014 and 2016).
