European round-up: Juventus score huge win over Napoli before AC Milan drop points

The Premier League title race took a huge turn on Sunday after Manchester United stunned Arsenal at the Emirates.

It blew the chase for the crown wide open, but that was not the only drama across the weekend.

There were games taking place across Serie A, La Liga, Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga, with a few huge results.

You can catch up with the best of the action below.

Juventus 3-0 Napoli

Juventus closed out a convincing 3-0 win over Napoli at the Allianz Stadium, a result that moves them from sixth to fourth in the table and within one point of third-placed Napoli themselves.

The hosts were organised throughout and clinical when opportunities presented themselves, outperforming their 1.09 expected goals total with three well-taken finishes.

The breakthrough came in the 22nd minute following a sustained spell of pressure. Manuel Locatelli, marking his 300th Serie A appearance, produced an inventive flick on the edge of the area to release Jonathan David, who shrugged off Leonardo Spinazzola before finishing low past Alex Meret.

Juventus continued to look the more coherent side, with Thuram striking the post and Conceicao denied on the line before the interval.

Juventus remained compact and patient, and the game was effectively settled in the 77th minute when substitute Fabio Miretti capitalised on a defensive lapse to set up Kenan Yıldız, who finished calmly for his eighth league goal of the season.

Another substitute, Filip Kostic, added a third late on, striking low from distance after a loose ball in the final third.

Roma 1-1 AC Milan

Roma and AC Milan shared the points in a 1-1 draw at the Stadio Olimpico, a result that did little to help either side’s pursuit of the Serie A title.

Roma were the more consistent attacking force across the contest and finished with a significant edge in expected goals, but their early dominance went unrewarded. The hosts created several openings in the first half, with Malen squandering the clearest chance when he dragged wide from close range, while Mike Maignan was repeatedly called into action to keep Milan level at the break.

Against the run of play, Milan took the lead just after the hour mark. Luka Modric delivered an accurate cross from a short corner, which was met by Koni De Winter, whose downward header gave Mile Svilar no chance. Roma responded with renewed pressure and were handed a route back into the game when Bartesaghi was penalised for handball. Substitute Lorenzo Pellegrini kept his composure from the spot to level the score.

Roma pushed for a winner late on, but Milan held firm. The draw leaves Milan five points behind leaders Inter, while Roma move into third, four points adrift of the Rossoneri.

Atletico Madrid 3-0 Mallorca

Atletico Madrid recorded a comfortable 3-0 home win over Mallorca, continuing their strong form at the Metropolitano with a largely one-sided display.

The hosts took the lead in the 22nd minute through Alexander Sorloth, who finished from close range after sustained pressure in the Mallorca box.

Atletico dominated territory for much of the first half, forcing a succession of corners and testing Leo Roman repeatedly, while Mallorca struggled to progress the ball beyond midfield.

Any lingering doubt was removed midway through the second period when David Lopez inadvertently headed into his own net under pressure from an Atletico set piece, doubling the advantage.

Mallorca briefly threatened through Vedat Muriqi, but Jan Oblak was rarely called into meaningful action.

The final word arrived late on, as substitute Thiago Almada reacted quickest from a corner to fire home from the centre of the area and complete the scoring.

Metz 2-5 Lyon

Lyon produced a ruthless attacking display to beat Metz 5-2 away from home, pulling clear early and never relinquishing control despite a couple of brief Metz responses.

The visitors struck inside 11 minutes as Endrick finished from close range after sustained pressure, before doubling the lead five minutes later through Ruben Kluivert, who converted from a corner.

Lyon continued to overwhelm Metz’s back line, and Tyler Morton’s low strike from distance made it 3-0 just after the half-hour mark. Metz pulled one back through Koffi Kouao, but Endrick restored Lyon’s three-goal cushion on the stroke of half-time following a quick transition.

The second half was more even, with Metz enjoying spells of possession and reducing the deficit again when Habib Diallo finished from close range. Any hope of a comeback was ended late on, however, as Endrick completed his hat-trick from the penalty spot before Lyon saw out the closing stages comfortably.
