The international break is behind us and that can only mean one thing: club football is back! Keep up with all the major results and news here.

Sunday, September 16th

22:40 CET - Over in Ligue 1, Lyon have been held by Lens in a drab 0-0 draw as their slow start to the season continues. 

22:30 CET - Alessandro Nesta was so close to his first Serie A win as Monza coach against his former rivals Inter but a late Denzel Dumfries goal denied him and Monza three points.

15:49 CET - An entertaining first half of the North London derby has ended goalless between Tottenham and Arsenal. With not many clear-cut chances of note, the main talking point would be the SEVEN yellow cards that have already been dished out. It’s feisty, that’s for sure, and it's hard to imagine the match finishing with 22 players on the pitch.
