Man Utd can't get out their own way!
Only a month of football has passed in the Premier League and the Red Devils have already missed 17 big chances this season! Erik ten Hag's United looked in top form as they created opportunity after opportunity away against Crystal Palace on Saturday evening, but the game somehow ended in a stalemate. United have now squandered five big chances more than any other team in the league, with only Aston Villa and Liverpool, with 21 each, having created more than Ten Hag's wasteful side, who have conjured up 19 big goalscoring opportunities.
Barcelona lose captain to long-term injury
The Catalan giants beat Villarreal 5-1 on the road in LALIGA on Sunday night, but it wasn't all smiles for Hansi Flick's side. Captain Marc-Andre ter Stegen needed replacing before the break after picking up a nasty knee injury that is likely to see him miss the rest of the season. The 32-year-old was taken to hospital as his side put on a five-star showing against the Yellow Submarine, with back-up shot-stopper Inaki Pena now expected to fulfil his role until at least January.

28 shots in one half!
Following Leandro Trossard's sending-off in the much-anticipated clash between Manchester City and Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday, fans around the world thought it would be only moments before the Citizens turned the tie around. Arsenal led 2-1 at half-time and put on a defensive masterclass at the Etihad Stadium until John Stones' late equaliser. City had 28 attempts at goal in the second half and completed 392 passes compared to Arsenal's 29. All things considered, that's a fantastic point for the Gunners.
