Stoppage-time Fernandes penalty earns Man United nervous win over Burnley

A 95th-minute penalty from captain Bruno Fernandes earned Manchester United a thrilling 3-2 victory over promoted Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday, Reuters reported.

Looking to quickly forget their humiliating League Cup exit at fourth-tier Grimsby, United started well in front of an expectant Old Trafford crowd, the dominant hosts taking a deserved lead through a Josh Cullen own goal in the 27th minute

United's wastefulness in front of goal proved costly, however, as Burnley levelled early in the second half through Lyle Foster, only for Bryan Mbeumo to restore the home side's less than two minutes later, according to Reuters.

Atletico held at Alaves as winless start goes on

Atletico Madrid's poor start to the LaLiga season continued as they were held to a 1-1 draw at Alaves on Saturday, leaving Diego Simeone's side winless after three matches, their worst start in his 14 years in charge, Reuters reported.

Atletico languish 14th in the standings after taking two points from their opening three matches, having lost 2-1 at Espanyol and drawn 1-1 at home to promoted Elche.

Giuliano Simeone gave the visitors an early lead in the seventh minute, striking from close range after Thiago Almada's shot was parried by Alaves goalkeeper Antonio Sivera, according to Reuters.

Chelsea sign forward Garnacho from Manchester United

Chelsea have signed Argentine winger Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United on a seven-year contract, the Premier League club said on Saturday, Reuters reported.

A source close to United told Reuters on Thursdaythat United had agreed a deal worth 40 million pounds ($54 million) with the Club World Cup champions.

The 21-year-old Garnacho's sale value is the fourth largest for a United player after Cristiano Ronaldo, Romelu Lukaku and Angel di Maria, according to Reuters.

Shot-shy Newcastle held to scoreless draw at Leeds

New striker Nick Woltemade watched from the stands as misfiring Newcastle United were held to a 0-0 Premier League draw at Leeds United on Saturday, with striker Alexander Isak again omitted from the squad as he pursues a move to Liverpool, Reuters reported.

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe is hoping Isak's situation is sorted out before the transfer window closes on Monday as his team has struggled to find its rhythm, recording two draws and one defeat in their first three games and no goals scored away from home.

"I think we're really looking forward to that clarity in terms of what our squad looks like," Howe told Sky Sports after a disappointing draw on a wet evening at Elland Road.

"The noise around us, it couldn't have been easy for the players to handle that all through pre-season and at the start of the season, so I think once we have clarity on the squad, we'll move forward, and I'm sure we can do really well," he added, according to Reuters. 

Bayern concede twice again but hold on for 3-2 win at Augsburg

Bayern Munich almost imploded in their 3-2 Bundesliga victory at Augsburg on Saturday, conceding two goals for the second consecutive match after going 3-0 up soon after the break, Reuters reported.

Bayern's back line looked vulnerable, just as it had in Wednesday's German Cup first-round win over third-tier Wehen Wiesbaden in which they conceded two goals and needed a stoppage-time winner to advance.

"We know what we have to work on," Bayern coach Vincent Kompany said. "It is true that we could have decided the game earlier today if we had scored five goals from the chances we created. The most important thing is that we are creating lots of chances, according to Reuters.

Anguissa nets late winner as Napoli down Cagliari

Napoli snatched a last-gasp 1-0 victory at home to Cagliari on Saturday as Frank Anguissa’s strike salvaged three points in a largely frustrating Serie A game for the Italian champions, Reuters reported.

Deep into stoppage-time, Alessandro Buongiorno picked out Anguissa with a precise ball across the box and the unmarked midfielder slotted home the winner.

After a lacklustre first half that produced few clear openings, the second period was also subdued, according to Reuters.

Neves hat-trick steals show as PSG outclass Toulouse 6-3

Joao Neves netted a brilliant hat-trick as French champions Paris St Germain secured a crushing 6-3 Ligue 1 victory at Toulouse on Saturday in a match involving three penalties, Reuters reported.

Portuguese midfielder Neves opened the scoring in the seventh minute, pouncing on a loose ball before taking a touch and firing a stunning overhead kick into the top corner.

Bradley Barcola doubled the visitors lead two minutes later, racing on to a through ball before drilling home a low finish from a tight angle, according to Reuters.

Real Madrid rally to beat Mallorca 2-1 despite VAR woes

Real Madrid recovered from a goal down to beat Mallorca 2-1 at the Bernabeu on Saturday as the home side made light of having three goals chalked off after VAR reviews to make it three wins out of three in La Liga this season, Reuters reported.

What should have been a comfortable victory for the home side left fans with their nerves jangling, however, and they needed a goalline clearance from Alvaro Carreras to secure the three points.

Kylian Mbappe had a goal overturned by VAR when he pounced to score from a superb ball by Trent Alexander-Arnold in the seventh minute, but the review found him to be marginally offside, according to Reuters.
