Matchday LIVE: Liverpool and Manchester City in thrilling draw after PSG and Real Madrid suffer defeats

It's all over at Allianz Arena too - and Eintracht Frankfurt have stunned Bayern Munich! Filip Kostic's late finish hands the visitors their first win in seven Bundesliga games this season. They look absolutely over the moon. Julian Nagelsmann's looking particularly nonplussed by that result. A stumble just before his stars head off for a fortnight is not needed.

FT: Bayern 1-2 Eintracht

The whistle goes. Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola embrace. There will be no winner in their latest battle of wits and wills. Superb goals for Sadio Mane, Phil Foden, Mohamed Salah and Kevin De Bruyne are the headline act in a four-goal thriller which ends with a point apiece. The biggest winner? Chelsea, who will therefore take the lead of the Premier League table into the international break. Liverpool and Manchester City will stay second and third respectively.

The full time whistle goes - and there has been an almighty upset in La Liga! On a day that has already seen Paris Saint-Germain fall to a surprise result, Real Madrid will leave Espanyol empty-handed. Karim Benzema's finish was not enough to haul this match back and the hosts - canny on the counter throughout - will celebrate that win for a long time.

FT: Espanyol 2-1 Real Madrid

Well, that lead didn't last long! Martin Hinteregger rises to meet&nbsp;Filip Kostic's cross on the back of an Eintracht Frankfurt corner in the middle of the box and he muzzles the ball at close-range into the back of the net. Bayern Munich find themselves pegged back after only a matter of seconds.

GOAL: Bayern 1-1 Eintracht

Go on - leave me breathless! Brentford have snatched their third Premier League win of the season with the last play of the game - and their first against European opposition no less! They have stunned a West Ham side arguably still recovering from their Europa League exploits on Thursday but that matters not - it is a major win for the Bees and Thomas Frank. David Moyes will be left to stew on that one for a fortnight now.

FT: West Ham 1-2 Brentford

The whistle goes and the spoils are shared at Selhurst Park - but if anything, that might feel like a victory for Patrick Vieira and a defeat for Brendan Rodgers. Leicester could have really done with a win today to get their domestic hopes back on track, and it will feel like two points dropped in securing a draw today. For Crystal Palace though, their spirited fightback continues to suggest there will be no dicing with the bottom three this season. <div> <h2 class="qrShPb kno-ecr-pt PZPZlf mfMhoc" data-attrid="title" data-local-attribute="d3bn" data-ved="2ahUKEwiF-LDZv67zAhUEiFwKHUDPAy4Q3B0oAXoECH8QCw" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif-light, sans-serif; color: rgb(32, 33, 36); line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px; overflow: hidden; display: inline; font-size: 30px; font-weight: normal; position: relative; transform-origin: left top; overflow-wrap: break-word;">&nbsp;</h2> </div>

And breathe, Tottenham fans. Breathe! After three league losses in a row, Spurs have reversed the trend, thanks in no part to Son Heung-min's double assist effort in north London, as the hosts see off Aston Villa in somewhat nervy fashion. It is another barren day for Harry Kane at the office though, which bodes well for the England captain as he looks to get in the goals for the October international break.

The hosts hit the front - and that is just the tonic Nuno Espirito Santo's men are needing! Tottenham put together a lovely break and Son Heung-min takes the ball down the right wing. Bodies pile into the box from both sides, and the Korea international waits before pulling it back instead to&nbsp;Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg on the edge of the area. The Denmark man looks up, places his shot, and scuttles it through a crowded area to nestle in the bottom-right corner.

Benzema skippers visitors, Hazard on bench

The final whistle goes - and Rennes have picked up a major scalp in Ligue 1, that of the league leaders! Lionel Messi suffers his first defeat in Paris Saint-Germain colours. The Argentine couldn't add to his fine finish from midweek and will instead head into the international break on a bum note. Frustration for Mauricio Pochettino, Kylian Mbappe, Neymar and the rest - though they can at least take solace that they will remain top of the table when they come back in a fortnight.

FT: Rennes 2-0 PSG

Phil Foden's goal was a thing of wonder and he's spoken to Sky Sports about the game today, stating: "It's very difficult to come here with the fans. It's one of the most difficult grounds to come to and we dealt with it really well today. "It had it all. It was end-to-end at times. It was such a brilliant game and we stuck in there to the end. We're happy to get the draw and on another day we could have taken the three points. "It was disappointing not to go in at half time ahead but we kept the momentum when we came out in the second half and we dug in there."

Reds close to a third

Have Eintracht Frankfurt just snatched a famous winner at Allianz Arena?! Filip Kostic pinches the ball at the edge of the Bayern Munich box and plays it around. He looks to clip it in for a team-mate, but a series of deflections bring it back to his own feet. He looks up, picks his shot, and leathers an absolute cracker in at the far post from the left edge. Glorious!

GOAL: Bayern 1-2 Eintracht

It's raining goals in Anfield! No sooner had Liverpool reclaimed the lead, Manchester City have pegged them back with the sweetest of strikes! There's a bit of a ruckus in the middle of the box as Raheem Sterling is checked and goes to ground in the build-up off the ball. But the cut-back was never meant for him in the first place - instead, it comes back to Kevin De Bruyne who lashes a low, curled finish in from the edge of the area!

GOAL: Liverpool 2-2 Man City

Our man on the scene...

Could it be anyone else for the Reds?! Mohamed Salah, take a bow. Take a bow! Anything Gabriel Jesus and Phil Foden can do, he can do better, it seems. The striker cuts around a clutch of defenders, inching forward on the right, before he steps around another one, moves inside and fires a finish in off the opposite left post.

GOAL: Liverpool 2-1 Man City

He cannot - but Phil Foden can! Quite how the young England starlet has squeaked that finish past Alisson requires some serious consideration, but he latches onto Gabriel Jesus' ball following a superb run and edges it across the face of goal to beat the Brazilian. Game on.

GOAL: Liverpool 1-1 Man City

The time for a change has come with the game needing to be chased - and Pep Guardiola has opted to yank England's most expensive player Jack Grealish for Three Lions team-mate Raheem Sterling. Much has been made of the latter's form recently, but can he prove the difference against his old club? Liverpool see off a free-kick after Diogo Jota had been booked for a bodycheck on Kevin De Bruyne.

Sterling replaces Grealish

Sadio Mane flips the script and puts Liverpool in front! There has been a gradual improvement from the Reds since the break, but this move really takes the cake. Mohamed Salah breaks superbly down the right flank, and lays on the throughball for his forward partner. Mane reaches it in the nick of time and squeezes a low finish past the advancing Ederson at pace. Anfield goes supernova!

City on top in tussle of titans

Half-time arrives almost the same second in England and Germany - and both the Premier League and Bundesliga champions are locked in stalemates so far. At Anfield, Manchester City have slowly exuded a grip against Liverpool though, with the hosts dropping off after a grand first stint. In Munich, Bayern saw an early lead wiped out quickly by Eintracht Frankfurt. There's plenty of legs in both games yet however.

Reds struggling for traction

Ooooh, Pep Guardiola looks to be fuming on the sidelines - he thinks he should have had a penalty! Phil Foden goes down after what looks to be contact with James Milner, but referee&nbsp;Paul Tierney is not having any of it. The Premier League's most successful Spaniard grumbles. At least he'll be enjoying the atmosphere at Anfield having complained about his own supporters.

Foden penalty call waved off

The champions break the deadlock! This is a bit of misfortune for Frankfurt, who look to put a long ball downfield, only for it to take a wicked deflection and spiral into the air. Robert Lewandowski helps it into open space and&nbsp;Leon Goretzka steams onto it before anyone else just inside the box to lash a low finish across the area and in at the left post.

The comeback is on - or it almost is for Real Madrid. They have a ball in the back of the net, but the call is already against them for offside. Rightfully too, much to Karim Benzema's frustration.

It's all going terribly wrong for Los Blancos in La Liga today! Espanyol have had slightly more ball this half and it is a well-honed move that finishes this one off.&nbsp;Aleix Vidal is the goalscorer and he strokes a lovely finish past&nbsp;Thibaut Courtois after some quality movement. Carlo Ancelotti looks like he has just ingested a whole lemon.

GOAL: Espanyol 2-0 Real Madrid

The whistle goes on Merseyside - and several time zones away in Munich - and the champions of England and Germany are both underway. In theory, only one of them will have an easier task today. The Premier League clash in the north-west is the one shaping up to be a classic.

Another game, another start from the bench for Raheem Sterling - and this could well be the biggest game of his Manchester City career since he left Liverpool if he gets on. While consistent for England over the past year, he has seen his impact dry up at the Etihad Stadium and questions linger over his future under Pep Guardiola. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/sterling-slump-man-city-star-returns-to-liverpool-in/18uwidxtz7kjl152fx73dn1u5w" target="_blank">Our man&nbsp;Jonathan Smith has taken a look.</a>

Sterling slump: what's happened to Raheem?

Raul de Tomas' finish is the difference in La Liga as half-time rolls around - and Real Madrid will be left to rue their misses so far. They've had twice as much ball and none of the goals that their hosts have enjoyed. Espanyol know something famous beckons, but it is going to take an almighty second half to keep this one in the bag.

Leicester City's day has just gone from bad to worse. Not only have the Foxes blown a two-goal lead, but Jamie Vardy looks to have suffered an injury too. As the striker looks to break, James McArthur bodychecks him studiously - but the former goes down harder than expected and is left screaming in pain.

Raul de Tomas is the man who finishes a surprising cross at the bottom-right corner, striking at close range. That will delight the hosts.

All square at Selhurst Park!&nbsp;Jeffrey Schlupp has put this one back on equal footing with a quarter to go! Brendan Rodgers will be fuming at Leicester there. A dangerous ball comes in and each attempt to clatter it away comes up short, despite&nbsp;Jannik Vestergaard's best efforts. Schlupp is there to divert a close-range header past Hugo Lloris in the final instance and suddenly, Selhurst Park roars to life once more.

GOAL: Palace 2-2 Leicester

What a response from Tottenham! They retake the lead after just four minutes back on level terms! It's that man Son Heung-min who is continuing to make things happen out there for Spurs. He cuts a blazing path down the left flank, turning defenders inside and out, then flashes a tight shot across the face of goal. It looks, remarkably, like it might bury itself in the back of the net without help but Lucas Moura is at the far post to divert it in and make sure. Son roars to the crowd, geeing them up. He looks in the mood.

GOAL: Spurs 2-1 Villa

Disaster for Tottenham - and delight for Aston Villa! The visitors unlock their hosts with a sharp counter-move and it is Ollie Watkins who clips in a short-range finish off a lovely throughball diverted from the left edge of the box to tie things up. The forward celebrates his England recall in style. Spurs need to pick themselves up by their bootstraps now.

GOAL: Spurs 1-1 Villa

Game on! As a heavy rain shower clears and gives way to sunshine above Selhurst Park, Crystal Palace look for a response - and find one! Tyrick Mitchell flashes a square cross in off the left wing. It takes a deflection as&nbsp;Michael Olise brings it under control, but he manages to edge around the Leicester defender and spray a low finish into the bottom-right corner.

GOAL: Palace 1-2 Leicester

Referee Guillermo Cuadra Fernandez blows the whistle at RCDE Stadium and Real Madrid are underway in today's headline clash from La Liga. With Atletico Madrid downing Barcelona in a major clash last night, the visitors know a point will take them clear of their cross-town rivals once more, while victory will keep them ahead of Real Sociedad too.

KO: Espanyol v Real Madrid

We're back in action in two of our Premier League games and West Ham are due to get back underway against Brentford imminently too. There's only a handful of minutes until Real Madrid take to the field too in La Liga - plus there is team news to come for Liverpool versus Manchester City in the next half-hour. Don't go anywhere.

Dynamic duo get Foxes on song

A little later than the rest, the whistle goes at London Stadium and David Moyes' men will be needing to mount a second half comeback to get a share of the points here. Brentford have held onto their lead and are stubborn with it too - though they did lose&nbsp;Shandon Baptiste near the half-hour mark to injury. That could still play a part in this one.

HT: West Ham 0-1 Brentford

The whistle goes on two different sides of London and it is Tottenham and Leicester who have the lead in their Premier League clashes. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's strike means Spurs are ahead against Aston Villa, while&nbsp;Kelechi Iheanacho and Jamie Vardy have done the job for the Foxes against Crystal Palace. There's plenty more to come in both games though, you feel.

HT: Spurs 1-0 Villa

If Kelechi Iheanacho is having the birthday, then Jamie Vardy is - forgive us - having the party! Leicester double their lead and it is thei greatest servant of the Premier League era that has turned this game on its head. Crystal Palace had mustered more possession and chance before that opener but now they are two down, as the former England man finishes off a break wrought from a sloppy deflected ball by the hosts. He sees it trimmed his way on the left side of the box and drives a powerful finish in at the near post.

GOAL: Palace 0-2 Leicester

The birthday boy has a finish - and Leicester lead against the run of play! On his first Premier League start of the season,&nbsp;Kelechi Iheanacho has just robbed&nbsp;Joachim Andersen blind. The Crystal Palace man is put under pressure when he fails to control a back-pass and the Foxes forward nips in to take it from him. It's simply him and the goalkeeper, and he makes no mistake, rolling in a composed finish. Happy birthday indeed!

GOAL: Palace 0-1 Leicester

The Premier League new boys are at it again! Much like Sheffield United and Leeds United before them, Brentford are proving to the Championship entertainers at the top level - though this one is down more to right-place, right-time effort. A spot of broken play allows&nbsp;&nbsp;Ivan Toney to slip a throughball to Sergi Canos. The latter's shot is low and covered by&nbsp;Lukasz Fabianski - but the save is not clean and&nbsp;Bryan Mbeumo is there to scramble the rebound in, despite the keeper's best efforts.

The name's Guardiola... Pep Guardiola

Time is firmly running out for the visitors to get something - but they have just ridden their luck down the other end after VAR chalked off a Rennes penalty. Achraf Hakimi was said to have caught&nbsp;Gaetan Laborde around the head with a boot as he went for the ball. But a second check deems he did not make contact. A huge let-off for PSG there - a possible third goal would have surely ended any great escape.

Messi goes close for a response

Drama in Ligue 1! PSG thought the comeback was on but they have had a goal disallowed by VAR! Kylian Mbappe worked a fast one-two on the break and looked to have come up trumps with a well-placed strike. But there is an offside call against him from Lionel Messi's part in the play. Frustration for the visitors.

What an absolute disaster of a restart to the second half for PSG - they're down a second goal inside 20 seconds! Rennes kick off, play it back into their own half, then wide to the right and drive forward. The cut-back flutters in from&nbsp;Gaetan Laborde and&nbsp;Flavien Tait is there to meet it. He lashes a powerful finish straight into the bottom left corner. If&nbsp;Gianluigi Donnarumma had kept like that during Euro 2020, Italy would have never won it!

Grab the popcorn...

Well then, what will Paris Saint-Germain have in response to that after the break? It has been said that, despite their sterling record in Ligue 1 this year, they haven't quite hit the heights they should do given the talent at their disposal - and now they have come unstuck on the stroke of half-time. Rennes are excellent value for their lead.

HT: Rennes 1-0 PSG

Laborde strike leaves Messi and co trailing

A sucker-punch on the stroke of half-time - and the hosts lead against their much-fancied visitors! Paris Saint-Germain have slowly grown ahead in this game, arguably, after that opening quarter, but they are going to go into the break a goal down to Rennes! Kamaldeen Sulemana looks up on the left flank, steps back and swings a cross in towards the far post, where Gaetan Laborde muscles a keen right-footer across&nbsp;Gianluigi Donnarumma. Superb from the hosts!

GOAL: Rennes 1-0 PSG

No goals yet - but Lionel Messi has rattled the crossbar now with a free-kick! That is the closest either side has arguably come in this contest, and the Argentine wasn't too far away from handing the visitors the lead. Having looked the lesser side to begin with, they are rallying here. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet">31' Messi hits a free-kick off the crossbar!

Messi helps turn the screw

A pair of quickfire chances for Kylian Mbappe and&nbsp;Idrissa Gueye, teed up by Lionel Messi, can't hide a big fact of this match so far - it is Rennes who are on top and not Paris Saint-Germain. It's a close encounter, of course, but Mauricio Pochettino's side are getting a sturdy workout from their hosts.

Too hot to handle?

As we build up to our crunch clash this afternoon, many eyes will be on how Mohamed Salah - a major thorn in Pep Guardiola's side whenever Liverpool and Manchester City meet - will fare. The Egypt international is arguably approaching the best form of his Reds career, or at least close to his previous peaks, but there remains the matter of a new contract - one which remains unresolved. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/no-contract-salah-liverpool-form-manchester-city-loom/13g7riu715xxa1vznq8itxjx2q" target="_blank">Our man Neil Jones has had a look into it for us.</a>

No contract, no problem for Salah

It's a sunny day in&nbsp;Brittany, with a lively crowd in tow - and referee&nbsp;Ruddy Buquet gets us underway with a blow of his whistle! Is it going to be goals galore for the visitors? Their firepower will certainly be out to notch up as many as they can.

KO: Rennes v PSG

We've already got team news in for that Ligue 1 clash - and what an attack it is for the visitors again - given they kick off shortly, but just how will the rest of today shake down? Here's how it will all pan out: 1200: Rennes v PSG 14:00 Crystal Palace v Leicester 1400: Tottenham v Aston Villa 1400: West Ham v Brentford 1515: Espanyol v Real Madrid 1630: Liverpool v Manchester City 1630: Bayern Munich v Eintracht Frankfurt 1945: Atalanta v Milan (All times BST)
