Federico Dimarco laid on a hat-trick of assists as Inter Milan thumped 10-man Sassuolo 5-0 on Sunday to open up an eight-point lead at the top of the Serie A table with a commanding performance in Reggio Emilia, Reuters reported. 

Inter have 58 points from their 24 games and top the table from city rivals AC Milan, who have played one game fewer. Sassuolo lie 11th in the table with 29 points from 24 games.

Dimarco had a hand in goals for Yann Bisseck, Marcus Thuram and Manuel Akanji, while Lautaro Martinez and Luis Henrique were also on the scoresheet as Inter overwhelmed their hosts, according to Reuters. 

Dembele double lays platform for PSG's 5-0 rout of Marseille

Paris Saint-Germain forward Ousmane Dembele turned in a virtuoso performance with the first two goals in a 5-0 rout of Olympique de Marseille as the hosts reclaimed Ligue 1 top spot on Sunday, Reuters reported. 

Last year’s Ballon d’Or winner netted two finely worked first-half goals before a second-half own goal and strikes from substitutes Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Lee Kang-in gave the reigning champions an emphatic victory.

Racing Lens had taken first place on Saturday when their 3-1 home victory over Stade Rennais moved them to 49 points but PSG now have 51 points from 21 matches. Marseille stay fourth on 39, according to Reuters. 

Real Madrid beat Valencia to stay on Barcelona's heels

Real Madrid stayed within one point of LaLiga leaders Barcelona with a 2-0 win at Valencia on Sunday as second-half goals by Alvaro Carreras and Kylian Mbappe settled a largely uneventful contest, Reuters reported. 

Real dominated possession but found chances hard to come by, with Valencia keeper Stole Dimitrievski rarely called into action as the visitors struggled to turn control into threat.

It took them until the 65th minute to break the deadlock through Carreras before Mbappe wrapped up the points in stoppage time, according to Reuters. 

Man City snatch chaotic 2-1 win at Liverpool to stay on Arsenal's heels

Manchester City's Erling Haaland converted a stoppage-time penalty to give his side a 2-1 victory at Liverpool on Sunday, narrowing the gap with Premier League leaders Arsenal to six points and breathing new life into the title race, Reuters reported. 

The Norwegian's 21st league goal of the season capped a thrilling comeback after Dominik Szoboszlai's stunning free kick put Liverpool ahead in the 74th minute, only for Bernardo Silva to equalise late before Haaland's decisive spot-kick.

In a chaotic finale, City's Rayan Cherki appeared to have scored from the halfway line after goalkeeper Alisson ventured upfield, with Haaland and Szoboszlai both sprinting and grappling as the ball crept over the line, according to Reuters.
