Spectacular 2-2 draw at Anfield
Shock defeats for Bayern, PSG, and Real Madrid
Anfield had only five minutes to celebrate and savor the individual genius of Mohamed Salah before the Liverpool fans were silenced.
A high ball over the top from Manchester City captain Kevin De Bruyne on the halfway line reached Phil Foden on the left flank. Liverpool failed to clear the pass into the penalty area from Foden and De Bruyne was primed to unleash a shot that was helped into the net via a deflection off Joel Matip.
A second half of high quality saw the winners of the last two Premier League titles draw 2-2 on Sunday after Rodri made a late intervention to prevent Fabinho scoring a winner for Liverpool.
It was Salah's work that created the opening goal in the 59th minute. Receiving the ball inside his own half, the Egypt forward brushed off João Cancelo's hearthearted attempt at a challenge and drove forward as Aymeric Laporte backed off.
Sadio Mane arrived in the penalty area to receive the ball slipped in by Salah and he struck across goalkeeper Ederson into the net.
The lead lasted 10 minutes after Gabriel Jesus was able to go past Curtis Jones as he cut in from the left before setting up for Foden to equalize in front of the Kop with his first league goal of the season.
The moment of brilliance from Salah came in the 76th as he weaved his way into the penalty area, skipping past City players and undeterred by a push from Foden before restoring Liverpool's lead.
But Liverpool's failure to tighten up at the back allowed De Bruyne to seal the point as defending champion City avoided a second loss of the season.
Espanyol ends Madrid's 25-game unbeaten streak in Spain
Real Madrid stumbled again on Sunday, losing 2-1 at Espanyol to see its 25-game unbeaten streak in the Spanish league come to an end.
It was the third straight match without a win for Madrid, which was coming off a shock home loss to Moldovan club Sheriff in the Champions League and a scoreless home draw against Villarreal in the Spanish league.
Madrid hadn't lost a league match since a 2-1 home defeat against Levante in January. It was unbeaten in 18 straight away games in the competition, one short of its all-time record.
Raúl de Tomás opened the scoring for the hosts from close range in the 17th minute and Aleix Vidal added to the lead in the 60th from inside the area after a nice run past the Madrid defense.
Karim Benzema had a goal disallowed in the 67th for offside but found the net again in a breakaway in the 71st after clearing two defenders and sending a low shot into the corner for his league-leading ninth goal.
Eden Hazard had an 84th-minute goal disallowed because Benzema was offside.
Rennes beats PSG 2-0 to hand league leader its 1st defeat
Rennes scored just before and after the break to beat Paris SaintGermain 2-0 on Sunday and hand the runaway league leader its first defeat of the season.
Gaetan Laborde put Rennes ahead on the stroke of halftime after PSG had started to get on top, with Lionel Messi hitting the crossbar with a free kick in the 31st minute. Laborde then turned provider in the 46th for midfielder Flavien Tait.
PSG had won its opening eight
games but had been fortunate in some and needed injury-time goals to edge a win against Lyon and Metz.
PSG was punished when Ghana winger Kamaldeen Sulemana picked out Laborde for his leagueleading sixth goal of the season — two more than Mbappe.
Mbappe scored midway through the second half after Messi and Angel Di Maria put him through. But the goal was ruled out after a video review showed Mbappe was offside.
The irrepressible Laborde won a late penalty after a tussle with Hakimi, but it was called off following a review.
Frankfurt beats Bayern for 1st loss under Julian Nagelsmann
Bayern Munich lost for the first time since Julian Nagelsmann took over as coach this season with a 2-1 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga on Sunday.
Goalkeeper Kevin Trapp kept Frankfurt in the game with a series of spectacular saves before Filip Kostic hit a powerful low shot past Manuel Neuer for the winning goal in the 83rd minute.
Bayern came into the game on a run of nine wins in all competitions — scoring at least three goals in each game — and with the same starting lineup from its 5-0 rout of Dynamo Kyiv in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Instead, Frankfurt enjoyed its first away league win at Bayern since November 2000.
Bayern got the breakthrough when Goretzka shot low past Trapp from the edge of the area in the 29th. Frankfurt needed three minutes to level. Martin Hinteregger had been at fault for losing the ball on Bayern's goal but made up for it with a towering header past Neuer off a corner from Kostic.
Seventh heaven for Napoli
Napoli bounced back from its first loss of the season to maintain its perfect start to the Serie A campaign.
Luciano Spalletti's side rallied to win 2-1 at Fiorentina on Sunday, with Hirving Lozano and Amir Rrahmani scoring after Lucas Martínez Quarta had given the home side the lead.
Napoli has won its first seven league matches of the season and tops the Serie A table. Despite its domestic form, Napoli has struggled in Europe.
In the late match AC Milan defeated Atalanta 3-2 in Bergamo. Milan were leading 3-0 till the final minutes when Atalanta managed to score twice through a Zapata penalty and a Pasalic goal.
Milan took the lead inside the first minute through Calabria, with Tonali and Leao scoring the other two.
