22:45 CET - That is a good response from Lyon, coming from behind to beat Nantes 3-1. Nantes meanwhile remain very much in a relegation battle.
Check out the match stats here.
20:58 CET - It wasn't all plain sailing for Tottenham, especially when the score was 1-1, but in the end, Spurs claimed a vital 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest to move into fourth. Forest remain just ahead of Luton in 18th on goal difference.
20:42 CET - The scenes in Turkey just keep getting wilder. Galatasaray scored a goal in the opening minutes against Fenerbahce courtesy of Mauro Icardi (31), and the Fenerbahce players just walked off the pitch. The win has been awarded to Galatasaray and they are the Super Cup champions! Remarkable! They are now playing a training match out on the pitch against the bench players.
20:29 CET - Chelsea just continue to be so unpredictable. A late win against Manchester United on Thursday, a dismal draw at the bottom club Sheffield United today. The Blues had a chance to really close the gap on sixth place, but instead, drop points. At times, they were outplayed by Sheffield United too. Not what Mauricio Pochettino would have wanted.
20:11 CET - Juventus are winless in their last four games in the league, and will be desperate to get back to winning ways against Fiorentina.

20:01 CET - Atalanta have suffered a 2-1 loss away at Cagliari, failing to close the gap on the top five in Serie A.
19:55 CET - A really stunning story is currently unfolding in Turkey. Galatasaray and Fenerbahce are set to go head-to-head in the Turkish Super Cup in around 30 minutes, and while Galatasaray have fielded their strongest team Fenerbahce have sent out their U19s, in an attempt to make a statement as they believe they have been mistreated following events this season. Truly bizarre. Turkish football is a soap opera.
19:23 CET - Borussia Monchengladbach may not be having their best season but they were very good today, winning 3-1 away to Wolfsburg.
19:01 CET - We have some reaction from Old Trafford to bring you from Jurgen Klopp who has taken a positive outlook on the point this afternoon.
It might have no been Kobbie Mainoo's best performance for United but that is partly down to the standards he has set for himself. But his goal was special and you can't question his application. Check out his match stats bellow:
18:55 CET - As we move into the evening action in the Premier League, Chelsea are currently up against Sheffiled United and have an early lead. And in just under five minutes time Spurs look to capitalise on Aston Villa's dropped points yesterday against Nottingham Forest who need three points in their battle for survival.
18:31 CET - Two big points dropped in the title race for Liverpool! A late Mo Salah penalty might have rescued a point for his side but to drop two points at this stage of the season with Arsenal and Manchester City both winning this weekend, is not ideal.
Liverpool were the better side for large parts of the match but just like the recent FA Cup encounter between the two rivals, it felt like a basketball match at times, with control and sense out of the window. A great game for the neutral.
And what a stunning goal from young Kobbie Mainoo, one which deserved to be a winning goal. The future is bright for England's latest star.

17:30 CET - In the opening match of the day in the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim beat Ausburg 3-1 as they kept their hopes of playing European football next season alive.
17:18 CET - It is half time at Old Trafford and Liverpool lead thanks to Luis Diaz losing Kobbie Mainoo on the back post from a corner and controlling a volley into the top corner. United were good in the first 20 minutes and probably the better side but cracks in their midfield opened up as the half progressed and Liverpool deserve their half time lead.
17:00 CET - In Serie A Napoli were at their attacking best away to Monza as they came from behind to score three quick fire second half goals to win 4-2, helping their hopes for European football next season.

16:45 CET - After the seven goal thriller earlier today in Ligue 1, there was just two goals in three matches in the afternoon action. And both goals went to Montpellier who marked a big dent in Lorient's survial hopes with a 2-0 win.
