It was another exciting weekend of European football with a few big teams faltering while others maintained their form. Liverpool once again succumbed to a late winner, this time from Chelsea while Manchester City and Arsenal secured victories.
In LaLiga, Barcelona suffered a shock loss to Sevilla and Real Madrid are on top of the table after beating Villarreal 3-1. Bayern Munich made it six wins out six in Bundesliga and Napoli lead the Seria A standings after their latest win over Genoa.
