Raphinha impressed again, opening the scoring and contributing to Barca's third. Jules Kounde provided two assists against his former club. Robert Lewandowski scored again to make it five LaLiga goals in four games. We could single out half the Barcelona team for praise after their 3-0 win at Sevilla on Saturday night. Janusz Michallik points the finger at Mohamed Salah & Trent Alexander-Arnold after Liverpool are held by Everton. What's behind Liverpool's stuttering start? Without having a bad game (0.19 xG and 0.24 xA for him in the end), he didn't look at his best. The game also reminded us that there is something not right about Mohamed Salah at the moment. Liverpool feel like they have dropped two points while Everton could also smell victory at times. The two keepers, Alisson and especially Jordan Pickford, were the reasons for the stalemate after some fantastic saves and if the game took a while to get going, it turned epic in the second half and, in the end, it was a good 0-0 draw but this is a result that doesn't suit anyone. It was an emotional afternoon at Goodison Park with two clubs and sets of fans united in sorrow after a nine-year old girl was shot dead in her house last week in Liverpool, and it was maybe fitting that there was no winner in the Merseyside Derby this time around. That will tell us as much about Dortmund's title contention as games against RB Leipzig, FC Koln and Schalke 04. The trick from here will be continuing to build momentum while maintaining perspective as to what Terzic is building: In addition to a trip to Manchester City in the Champions League in two weeks, Dortmund will need to be as cohesive as possible for Bayern's visit at the start of October. Friday's narrow win over Hoffenheim was fairly routine: Marco Reus (two goals, two assists this season) was his vintage self in stroking a Julian Brandt first time pass beyond Oliver Baumann to give Dortmund a 16th minute lead they'd hang onto with little difficulty. They're even above Bayern Munich right now, proof that Edin Terzic is worth backing. Watch again: Dortmund 1-0 Hoffenheim (ESPN+, U.S. It's also their third 1-0 in that streak.
Anyone recall their remarkable collapse at home to Werder Bremen two matchdays ago? Taking that jump scare out of the equation, they've been superb to open the campaign, broadly going back to basics and picking up their second straight 1-0 win in the Bundesliga, and their fourth win in five. Watching Borussia Dortmund can at times feel like a horror film, with serene moments sharply interrupted by the stuff of nightmares. Nderim Kaceli/LiveMedia/NurPhoto via Getty Images Laurens Rafael Leao shone as AC Milan emerged victorious from Saturday's Derby della Madonnina against city rivals Inter. This 3-2 win for the reigning champions is not decisive in the title race but it showed that whoever wants their crown will have to fight hard to get it. His second one is a tribute to the great George Weah with so many similarities in how he took that goal, his little hook and finish. Serie A's player of last season was outstanding with two goals and an assist. And Rafael Leao is the undisputed king of the city. Milan, for now, is AC Milan's kingdom while Inter are now two points behind their archrivals in the table. It had everything: goals, drama, suspense, quality individual performances, mistakes (look away now Hakan Calhanoglu) and a winner. While we wait for other big derbies, other big top of the table clashes or other mouthwatering matches between European giants, Saturday's Derby della Madonnina between AC Milan and Internazionale was the first big blockbuster of the current season and it was awesome.
