Real Madrid vs Sevilla

Real Madrid routed Sevilla 4-1 on Sunday, October 18, at the Santiago Bernabéu, before 73,907 fans, in the most notable match of a weekend packed with international soccer. Kylian Mbappé scored two goals, and the team arrived in good form at a big week: a visit to Barcelona, LaLiga leader, next Sunday.

LaLiga: Mbappé and Diomande Lead Madrid to Rout

Arda Güler opened the scoring in the 30th minute with a left-footed shot to the upper right corner, after a counterattack and pass from Yan Diomande. Seven minutes later, Mbappé extended the lead with a left-footed shot inside the penalty area, on a pass from Jude Bellingham. The Frenchman scored his second goal from the penalty spot at 63, with a shot to the center and top of the goal.

Sevilla narrowed the gap to 80 with a goal from Manu Bueno, assisted by Lucas Stassin. However, two minutes later, Diomande sealed the victory with a right-footed shot from outside the area to the upper left corner, on a pass from Aurélien Tchouaméni.

Mbappé: five shots, Madrid’s leader in that category.
Dean Huijsen: 90 accurate passes and 10 defensive interventions.
Goalkeepers: Thibaut Courtois made four saves, and Odisseas Vlachodimos, three.

Madrid played without Vinícius Júnior, who served the first game of a four-game suspension for pulling Nathan Saliba’s hair, of Villarreal, last weekend. With the win, the team reached seven victories and two defeats in the season; Sevilla has four victories, two draws, and three defeats. Madrid comes from overcoming Roma 4-3 in the Champions League. Now they will host RB Leipzig on Wednesday, October 21, and visit Barcelona on Sunday, October 25, at the Spotify Camp Nou.

Premier League: Arsenal, Liverpool, and City Take Three Points

Arsenal won 1-0 at Nottingham Forest with a goal from Noni Madueke in the 80th minute, on a pass from Declan Rice.

Forest suffered their third consecutive league defeat and has one victory, two draws, and four defeats.

On Saturday, October 17, Liverpool came back to win 2-1 at Brentford. Keane Lewis-Potter put the hosts ahead at 44, but Yehor Yarmoliuk was expelled in added time of the first half for violent conduct. Víctor Muñoz tied the game at 62, and Alexander Isak, in his return from an injury, scored the winning goal at 70. Vitaly Janelt saw his second yellow card in added time, and Brentford finished with nine men.

On the same day, Manchester City defeated Ipswich Town 3-2 at the Etihad and continues with seven victories in seven league games under Enzo Maresca’s direction. Phil Foden opened the scoring at 19, and Daizen Maeda tied two minutes later. Erling Haaland put City ahead 2-1 with a header at 34 and 3-1 at 69, with which he has 12 goals in all competitions. Zian Flemming narrowed the gap from a penalty at 90, and City had to withstand a nervous finish.

In another result, Brighton crushed Crystal Palace 5-0.

In the second half, Marco Carnesecchi saved another penalty from Ramos, but Mario Gila scored with a header on a pass from Rabiot. Atalanta approached with goals from Gianluca Gaetano (66) and Nikola Krstovic (81), although they did not reach a tie. A goal from Christian Pulisic was disallowed for offside after a VAR review.
