1. Juventus fall Monza. Massimiliano Allegri will have to be solid because Juventus, not at best in recent weeks, fell for the first time this season in Serie A Monza (1-0). Discount ten after the direct expulsion of Di Maria for a nudge (40th), the Old Lady, clearly dominated by the promoted, cracked the approach of the last quarter of an hour on an achievement by Gytkjaer (74th). A first victory for the formation of Silvio Berlusconi which relegates the Bianconeri to 8th position with only two successes in seven outings. Disappointing.
2. Inter lose again against Udinese…Inter, who had lost only eleven times in the last three seasons in Serie A, a dj suffered his third defeat in the league against Udinese (3-1). Yet well launched by a superb free kick from Barella (5th), the Lombard club reversed on an own goal from Skriniar (22nd) and achievements from Bijol (84th) and Arslan (90th + 3). With this new poor performance, the Nerazzurri point to 6th place, 4 points from the formation of Friuliwho temporarily takes 2nd place. Surprising.
3. And three for Monaco! Only three days after his very poor performance against Ferencvaros (0-1), Monaco got back on their feet by winning very largely in Reims (0-3). In numerical superiority following the expulsion of Locko (20th), the main team made the difference after the break thanks to the first goals of the season from Golovin (48th), Minamino (87th) and Ben Yedder (90th). With this success, the third consecutive in the league, ASM replaces 5th position. Slowly but surely…
4. Strong Arsenalhead. Two weeks after his defeat at Old Trafford, Arsenal resumed their march forward by winning very largely on the ground of Brentford (0-3). In great shape, Saliba (17th), once again made the powder talk while Gabriel Jesus (28th) and Fabio Vieira (49th) also found the fault for the Gunners. In the standings, the team led by Mikel Arteta regains the lead in the championship only a point ahead of Manchester City and Tottenham. Strong.
5. Angers chained against Nice! After his narrow victory in Ajaccio, Nice fell back in their crossings against Angers (0-1). A lead match between since Todibo exclusively after just 9 seconds. All good for the SCO, who found the fault before the break on a heavy strike from Bentaleb (43rd). The expulsion of Boufal for a second warning (62nd) did not allow the Gym to return to a game which will inevitably generate a lot of frustration. For Angers, this second success in a row will do a lot of good.
6. Clermont overthrown by Troyes. In an open match between two player teams, Troyes finally overthrew Clermont (1-3). Well launched by Gastien (4th), the Auvergne club could not avoid Mama Bald’s Terrible Awakeningauthor of a double (23rd, 54th) before turning into a decisive passer on the third but signs Ripart (83rd). A deserved success for ESTAC, which is getting back on its feet to position himself in 10th place with an almost similar record with his victim of the day.
7. Ajaccio finally wins! In the match of fear in Ligue 1, Ajaccio made a very nice move by winning on the lawn of Brest (0-1). Dominated by Bretons once again too unrealistic, the Corsican formation waited for the right moment to sting on the counter and find the fault by Hamouma (65th). With this short but very precious successthe first of the season, the ACA, which remains red lantern, returns only a small point of the SB29. Watch out for the slide for the Michel Der Zakarian band…
8. End of series for Marseille. Victorious in their last five games in Ligue 1, Olympique de Marseille slowed down by Rennes (1-1). On the street in the first period, the Marseille club conceded the opener on one but against his side Guendouzi (26th). Corn the French international, jointly, managed to equalize with a header from a corner after the break (52nd). A draw that could allow Paris Saint-Germain to take the lead in the championship alone if Lyon succeeds. To read the report of this match, it’s here!
9. Union Berlin continues its crazy season! If Bayern Munich have failed to win a single one of their last four games, Union Berlin, for its part, managed to win its fifth game out of seven against Wolfsburg (2-0). Very clearly above, the capital club made the difference by Siebatcheu (54th) and Becker (77th). The only leader, the Union is the only Bundesliga team not to have lost since the start of the exercise. A fairy tale that can last?
10. Atalanta surprise Roma!A few hours after his victory against Inter (3-1), Udinese at dtrn by Atalanta, faller of AS Roma (0-1). Largely dominated, the Dea was effective and made the difference before the break by Scalvini (35th). A success that allows the Bergamo club to take the lead in the championship while the Wolf remains 6th. The fat Italians did not smile this Sunday!
11. La Beaujoire boredom…In an enticing duel between two contending teams for Europe, Nantes and Lens failed to decide (0-0). As in many weekend meetings in Ligue 1, the technical level was not there with many approximations on both sides. A match for nothing… or almost. To read the report of the match, it’s here!
