Although head coach Michael Carrick could reflect on a much-improved performance after making five changes to his starting line-up, United have now gone five games without a win. The visitors never recovered after Alex Baena raced beyond Diogo Dalot on to a routine ball over the United defence, before squaring for the excellent Pablo Barrios, whose shot squirmed under Ayden Heaven and into the net. Bryan Mbeumo wasted two good chances to level before the break while Marcus Rashford failed to make contact with Lisandro Martinez's pass. After the interval, skipper Bruno Fernandes came closest when he lifted Youri Tielemans' lofted pass over Atletico keeper Jan Oblak but it dropped off target. The hosts did have chances themselves, with Alejandro Grimaldo clipping a free-kick against the post before Julian Alvarez, making his second start of the season, failed to make the most of an opportunity created by Barrios. United's final hope of an equaliser disappeared when Leny Yoro was sent off for tangling with substitute Jonathan David when the France defender was the last man. Former Everton striker Ademola Lookman sealed the hosts' victory in the 79th minute as United became the first English side to lose in the Champions League this season.

Newcastle goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek hauled down Sidiki Cherif to gift Coventry an early penalty and Jack Rudoni made no mistake with the finish, scoring the club's first goal at home this season to raise the roof at CBS Arena. It was Coventry's first Premier League goal at their home ground since John Hartson scored in a 1-0 win against Sunderland in April 2001. The hosts made a lightning-fast start to the second half, too, and teenager Cherif doubled their lead shortly after the restart with a clean finish. A stunning 70th-minute long-range strike by Sven Botman handed Newcastle a lifeline, but a deflected shot by substitute Ellis Simms put Coventry out of reach - much to the delight of a raucous home crowd. Stephen Mfuni put the cherry on top with four minutes of normal time remaining when he curled past Hornicek into the top-right corner. The victory - Coventry's second of the season - lifts them out the relegation zone and up to 14th, where they sit level on points with Manchester United. Matthias Jaissle's Newcastle remain 11th, with eight points from their opening six games.

Enzo Maresca's side restored their three-point lead at the top of the table in emphatic fashion - but there remains the sense that this is a season in limbo as City await their punishment, with the potential for Premier League expulsion, relegation or record points deductions. Liverpool fans made their feelings known before and during the game with constant "cheat" jibes, but City, who have appealed against the verdict of an independent commission, responded with a measured display before picking Liverpool apart, who had been reduced to 10 men when Ryan Gravenberch was sent off. Erling Haaland broke the deadlock with a thunderous finish after 65 minutes, substitute Jeremy Doku adding the second with a stunning strike into the top corner three minutes later. And City confirmed their vast superiority when Rayan Cherki produced brilliant individual skill to make it 3-0 12 minutes from time. The game opened in a predictably fevered atmosphere as the Kop delivered taunts about the guilty verdict, unfurling banners emblazoned with messages such as 'A Generation Of Supporters Cheated', while City fans responded backing their owners by brandishing a flag reading 'In Khaldoon We Trust'. Once the initial sound and fury died down, the first half was an anti-climax as City slowed the game to combat the hostile environment while Liverpool struggled to make a breakthrough. The second half showed more signs of life, with City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma saving from Victor Munoz and Gravenberch in swift succession, while Haaland held his head in anguish after rolling a chance wide when clean through. Gravenberch's dismissal, given a second yellow card for a foul on Doku, left Liverpool with an uphill task as City moved through the gears to win with ease.

The Brazil forward thought he had scored a second goal for Real, with boss Jose Mourinho joining in his team's celebrations on the sidelines. However, the goal was then ruled out after the referee reviewed the build-up on the pitchside monitor, with Vinicius clearly shown to have pulled Saliba's hair before scoring. The referee then produced a red card and sent off Real's No 7 for violent conduct in the 72nd minute - 20 minutes after he had replaced England defender Trent Alexander-Arnold. The decision left Real Madrid furious with Mourinho not showing up for the obligatory post-match news conference. Real were already leading 1-0 through teenager Yan Diomande's first goal for the club since joining from RB Leipzig for a fee worth up to £120m in August. The 19-year-old struck in the 62nd minute, his low finish into the far corner originally ruled out by an offside flag before being overturned after a video assistant referee (VAR) review. After leaders Barcelona beat Getafe 3-0 earlier in the day, Real needed the victory to close the gap to the defending champions, but struggled to make an impression before Diomande's effort. With eight games gone, Mourinho's men, who visit Barca on 25 October, are six points off top spot. It was a frustrating night for Kylian Mbappe who wasted a couple of good chances as well as being denied by goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi, while England midfielder Jude Bellingham was booked for a foul.

Rayo Vallecano's match against Athletic Club was abandoned on Saturday after the home fans threw paper planes and rubber balls on to the pitch in protest against the club's owner. The La Liga game was Rayo's first of the season at the Estadio de Vallecas, which had been temporarily closed after an audit highlighted serious health and safety issues - including a risk of contracting Legionnaires' disease. Rayo fans blame owner and president Raul Martin Presa, who has long been criticised for the poor upkeep of facilities and a failure to modernise the club. In the 13th minute of the game, when Rayo fans usually chant "Presa leave now", supporters threw paper planes and small rubber balls on to the pitch. The referee stopped play and the stadium announcer urged fans not to throw objects on to the pitch, while stewards hastily removed the items from the grass. When play resumed 15 minutes later, supporters in the south stand again threw objects on to the field and the referee abandoned play with the game goalless. Following the game, Athletic Club released a statement to say they would contact their fans who travelled to the game in Madrid to arrange refunds.
