Hojlund scores twice as Napoli beat Juventus to go top

Rasmus Hojlund scored both goals as Napoli went top of Serie A with a 2-1 win over Juventus, BBC reported. 

The Denmark forward, who is on loan from Manchester United, slid in to put the defending champions ahead before Juventus hit back when Kenan Yildiz equalised after a counter-attack.

However, Hojlund secured the points with his second, a 78th minute header from point-blank range, according to BBC. 

Fiorentina take security measures after threats

Fiorentina say they have taken security measures to protect players, staff and their families after they received "unacceptable and shameful" threats, BBC reported. 

The threats were received following the club's 3-1 loss at Sassuolo on Saturday, which left winless Fiorentina bottom of Serie A after 14 matches.

The club condemned the threats in a statement and said it "expresses its full solidarity and support for the players and their families".

Torres bags hat-trick as Barcelona batter Betis 5-3

Ferran Torres scored a first-half hat-trick as Barcelona won 5-3 at Real Betis in LaLiga on Saturday, bouncing back after conceding an early goal to extend their lead over Real Madrid at the summit to four points, Reuters reported. 

Antony marked his return from suspension by scoring from Betis' first attack in the sixth minute, with Jules Kounde playing the winger onside as he rifled the ball into the net.

The fullback made amends as Barcelona levelled five minutes later with a typically expansive passing move punctuated by Torres, who deftly steered Kounde's centre in at the near post, according to Reuters. 

FIFA apologises to Argentina coach over World Cup trophy gloves rule

FIFA president Gianni Infantino apologised to Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni after a mix-up during Friday's 2026 World Cup draw required the coach to wear gloves to touch the trophy. Infantino invited Scaloni to lift the Cup without gloves during a separate ceremony on Saturday, Reuters reported. 

The incident came during Friday's draw for the tournament, set to be co-hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada, when organisers seemingly failed to recognise the World Cup-winning coach.

Scaloni, visibly taken aback, said that the officials did not know who he was, according to Reuters.
