Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said he wanted his side's chastening 2-0 League Cup final loss to Manchester City to fuel the fire in the belly of his ​players, who remain in the hunt for three major trophies this season, Reuters reported. 

Premier League leaders Arsenal arrived as favourites on Sunday to win their first trophy since 2020, but were steamrolled by a dominant City, who won the competition for the ninth time.

The London side's lacklustre showing will inevitably raise concerns among the club's ​fans at a crucial stage of the season as they seek their first Premier ​League title since 2004 and challenge for both the Champions League and FA ⁠Cup, according to Reuters. 

Inter Milan were held to a 1-1 draw at Fiorentina on ​Sunday as the hosts' Cher Ndour scored a second-half equaliser to cancel out Francesco Pio Esposito’s ‌first-minute opener and dent the visitors' Serie A title charge, Reuters reported. 

Following AC Milan’s 3-2 victory over Torino on Saturday, the result in Florence trimmed Inter’s lead at the summit to six points, leaving the leaders on 69 points with eight matches remaining and offering fresh hope ​to their city rivals.

"We knew the three points were crucial for us, and Fiorentina deserve credit, but we ​didn't play our best game, and it's not our best moment. But it's all in ⁠our hands," said Inter assistant coach Aleksandar Kolarov.

“They (Fiorentina) have been on good form recently, so I see a point ​here as relatively positive," he added, stepping in for suspended manager Cristian Chivu, according to Reuters. 

Vinicius Jr scored twice as Real Madrid fought back to beat visitors Atletico Madrid 3-2 in a breathless Spanish capital derby ​on Sunday, keeping Alvaro Arbeloa's side within four points of LaLiga leaders Barcelona, Reuters reported. 

Billed as a relatively low-key Madrid derby, with Atletico sitting a distant fourth in the table, the match instead delivered a five-goal spectacle between the rivals.

It had everything — stunning goals from both sides and a straight red card to Real captain Federico Valverde that reduced the hosts to 10 men in the dying minutes, according to Reuters. 

Danny Welbeck scored a goal in each half as Brighton Hove Albion put a dent in Liverpool’s Champions League qualification hopes with a deserved 2-1 Premier League victory at the Amex Stadium on Saturday, Reuters reported. 

Liverpool remained in fifth place with 49 points from 31 games, while Brighton moved up four places to eighth on 43 points to boost their hopes of European football next season.

The match was delayed by 15 minutes due to traffic congestion that held up Liverpool fans, and it was the home side who made the better start as Welbeck headed them in front, one of four goals in his last five games, according to Reuters.
