Hello guys.

The international break is now over, players turn their attentions to their domestic leagues.

Most players were ruled out in today's fixtures because of the severe injuries they sustained while on international duty.

In England, Chelsea were beaten by Crystal palace in a woeful display at Selhurst park.They were without their star midfielder N'golo Kante,who picked up a knock while playing for France.

Disappointing Arsenal were also beaten by Watford. Two goals in the second half gave Watford a well deserved victory against a lacklustre Arsenal team.

Resilient,strong and brilliant Manchester city hammered Stoke city in a 9 goal thriller match. While neighbours Manchester United drew 1-1 at Anfield.

Elsewhere in Spain,Real Madrid saw off Getafe while Sevilla were beaten by Athletico Bilbao.

League leaders Barcelona came from behind to snatch a draw against Atletico Madrid.
