    Chelsea goalkeeper Mike Penders punched a corner into his own net in the 77th minute. Cole Palmer was subsequently sent off after receiving two yellow cards, and Mathys Tel sealed the result with an individual goal in the 87th minute. Tottenham controlled 68% of possession and secured back-to-back league victories for only the second time in 42 attempts.

    Roma twice recovered from two-goal and one-goal deficits to draw 3-3 with Napoli in the Derby del Sole. Scott McTominay scored twice for Napoli, but Leonardo Balerdi’s late equaliser denied the hosts an important Serie A victory.

    Frank Anguissa opened the scoring with an overhead kick in the 26th minute, and McTominay doubled Napoli’s advantage shortly after half-time. Matías Soulé and Balerdi brought Roma level before McTominay restored Napoli’s lead with a long-range strike seven minutes from time. Balerdi headed in again in the final minute to secure a draw. Napoli’s inconsistent league form continued despite McTominay’s recent scoring resurgence following heart surgery.

    Atlético Madrid forward Julián Álvarez has apologised to supporters for trying to secure a summer transfer to Barcelona. His apology followed Atlético’s 1-0 La Liga victory over Deportivo La Coruña, in which the Argentine scored the winning goal.

    Álvarez acknowledged that his public comments during the World Cup were poorly timed and expressed. His attempts to leave Atlético had angered fans, with some continuing to whistle him during matches. Saturday’s goal was his first league goal in eight months and helped Atlético move within two points of leaders Barcelona before El Clásico. Manager Diego Simeone welcomed the apology and said the club needs Álvarez performing at his best.

    Manager Derek McInnes selected two central strikers, with Kelsy and Naderi combining effectively throughout the match. Rangers generated 21 shots and an expected-goals figure of 4.57, compared with St Johnstone’s 0.58. Kelsy’s second goal also became Rangers’ first goal from a corner this season. The result builds momentum ahead of Wednesday’s visit to Hearts.

    Arsenal defeated Tottenham 2-1 in the Women’s Super League north London derby, with Alessia Russo converting a disputed second-half penalty. The result relieved pressure on Arsenal manager Renée Slegers after a disappointing start to the season.

    Referee Phoebe Cross awarded a penalty when Cathinka Tandberg’s clearance struck teammate Ella Morris’ outstretched hand. Russo converted in the 56th minute. Tottenham manager Martin Ho argued that the decision was inconsistent with handball guidance because the ball came directly from a teammate at close range. Ho also called for greater investment in professional referees and officiating technology, neither of which is fully established in the WSL.
