Inter Milan claimed a commanding 3–1 home win over Bologna on Sunday to return to the top of Serie A in what is shaping up to be an increasingly intense title race, Reuters reported. 

With the victory, Inter took the lead in the table on 39 points, one clear of city rivals AC Milan and two ahead of Napoli, with the campaign now two matches from the halfway mark.

Inter laid siege to the Bologna goal for most of the first half, pouring forward in wave after wave, only to be denied by an outstanding goalkeeper, Federico Ravaglia, whose string of fine saves kept the scoreline intact, according to Reuters. 

Atletico Madrid were held to an entertaining 1–1 draw at Real Sociedad in LaLiga on Sunday, with Goncalo Guedes cancelling out Alexander Sorloth’s opener for the visitors in a five-minute spell after the break at Anoeta Stadium, Reuters reported. 

The result saw Atletico lose further ground in the title race and left them fourth on 38 points, level with third-placed Villarreal, who have two games in hand, but 11 points adrift of leaders Barcelona.

Real Sociedad climbed to 15th on 18 points, two clear of the relegation zone, in an encouraging first game under new coach Pellegrino Matarazzo, according to Reuters. 

Chelsea handed London rivals Arsenal a welcome boost in the Premier League title race as Enzo Fernandez struck a stoppage-time equaliser that prevented Manchester City closing the gap at the top to four points on Sunday, Reuters reported. 

City led through a Tijjani Reijnders goal in the first half and it looked like being enough for them to cut into Arsenal's lead at the summit, but Fernandez pounced to give Chelsea a worthy 1-1 draw, three days after the club sacked coach Enzo Maresca.

Fernandez's goal at a freezing Etihad Stadium means Arsenal end a packed festive programme with a six-point lead. They have 48 points from 20 games with City and Aston Villa on 42, according to Reuters. 

Novak Djokovic said on Sunday he would step away completely from the Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA), the advocacy group he co-founded, citing concerns over transparency and governance within the organisation, Reuters reported. 

Djokovic, who launched the PTPA alongside Vasek Pospisil in 2020 with the aim of strengthening player representation within the sport, said in a post on X that his latest move was also driven by how his voice and image had been represented.

"I am proud of the vision that Vasek and I shared when founding the PTPA, giving players a stronger, independent voice," Djokovic said, according to Reuters.
