After a lacklustre opening 45 minutes, the American found the opener from close range by capitalising on a Yann Sommer spill from an Alexis Saelemaekers shot. But Inter were given the perfect opportunity to equalise when they were awarded a penalty kick 17 minutes from time when Strahinja Pavlovic was adjudged to have fouled Marcus Thuram after a VAR review. Turkish midfielder Hakan Çalhanoglu stepped up from 12 yards against his former club but Frenchman Maignan guessed correctly to get a strong hand on a low effort to the bottom left-hand corner. The 30-year-old ensured Milan were level at half-time by making a stunning save to deny Lautaro Martinez. The victory takes Milan into second place, two points behind leaders Roma after their 3-1 win against Cremonese earlier on Sunday. Inter are fourth, one point behind Milan and two behind Roma.

The Argentina forward opened the scoring with a first-half header - his sixth goal in four MLS post-season games. Messi went on to provide three assists, setting up Mateo Silvetti and, twice, Tadeo Allende in Cincinnati. Messi's 12 goal contributions in the post-season is an MLS record. Javier Mascherano's Miami side will face Philadelphia or New York City for a place in the MLS Cup final, against the winners of the Western Conference final. "I'm proud of how the team played on a very difficult pitch against a very difficult opponent," said Mascherano. "The players showed incredible character and played a practically perfect match." He added: "It's an honour and a privilege not only to manage Leo but this group of players. "We know what Leo is capable of - he proves it every weekend. Today, he did another incredible job off the ball, because we already know what he's capable of with it." The first half at TQL Stadium was evenly contested, with Miami taking the lead when Messi sprayed a pass to Silvetti - starting ahead of Luis Suarez - and made his way into the box to head home the cross. Messi returned the favour by releasing 19-year-old Silvetti for Miami's second, and played delightful through balls for Allende's goals. Miami qualified for the play-offs as the third-placed side in the Eastern Conference, finishing one point behind Philadelphia Union and level with Cincinnati.

The 40-year-old rose in the middle of the penalty area to meet Nawaf Boushal's right-wing cross in the sixth minute of stoppage time at Al-Awwal Park in Riyadh. It was Ronaldo's 954th career goal and was reminiscent of his bicycle kick for Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final against Juventus in 2018. The Portugal captain also scored an overhead kick against Poland in the Nations League in November 2024. Victory took Al-Nassr four points clear at the top of the table. Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d'Or winner, has not won a trophy since moving to Saudi Arabia in 2023.

Eberechi Eze scored his first senior hat-trick as Arsenal thrashed north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur to move six points clear at the top of the Premier League. Spurs boss Thomas Frank picked a five-man defence as he looked to keep things tight at Emirates Stadium, but his side could not contain the league leaders. Leandro Trossard opened the scoring for an utterly dominant Arsenal in the 36th minute, finishing well after a lovely through ball from Mikel Merino. Then Eze, who almost joined Spurs in the summer from Crystal Palace before a late swoop by Arsenal, doubled the hosts' advantage before the break - beating two players on the edge of the box before drilling a strike past Gugliemo Vicario. Frank scrapped his back-five plan at half-time and brought on Xavi Simons as he looked to inject some more attacking intent into his lacklustre side. But Arsenal extended their advantage just 23 seconds into the second half, when Eze curled a left-footed strike into the bottom corner from the edge of the area. Tottenham were pinned back for large parts of the match, but Richarlison did pull a goal back for the visitors by lifting the ball over the stranded David Raya from about 40 yards out. However, Eze added gloss to the scoreline - and completed a brilliant hat-trick - with another expert finish past Vicario in the 76th minute. Arsenal's six-point lead over Chelsea at the top of the table is their biggest advantage at this stage of any Premier League campaign. The Gunners are looking to win their first title since 2004 - and after three second-place finishes in succession.

The Republic of Ireland striker, who joined on a season-long loan from Brighton in July, scored Roma's second goal four minutes after coming off the bench, guiding a shot into the bottom corner from inside the penalty area. Ferguson scored four goals on his Roma debut - in a 9-0 pre-season friendly against Serie D side UniPomezia - but had not scored in a competitive game for Gian Piero Gasperini's side. Matias Soule and Wesley Franca were also on target for Roma, while Francesco Folino scored a consolation for Cremonese deep into stoppage time at Stadio Giovanni Zini. Victory lifted Roma to the top of the table, but Inter Milan will replace them if they beat city rivals AC Milan later on Sunday. Ferguson was making his return from an ankle injury which kept him out of Roma's three games before the international break. He is attempting to rebuild his career after losing form and dropping down the pecking order at Brighton. His only goal last season came more than a year ago against Wolves. Ferguson has featured in eight of Roma's 12 league games and three of their four Europa League matches this season. Former Leicester striker Jamie Vardy, who has scored two goals for Cremonese this season, played the full 90 minutes.
