"This weekend in soccer gave us plenty to break down across Europe's top leagues and in some cup competitions, like the Africa Cup of Nations: where should we begin? How about the Manchester derby, which saw Manchester United shock rivals Manchester City with a 2-0 win that is a major blow in Pep Guardiola's aspirations for yet another Premier League crown. ( Arsenal extended their league lead by a point given their 0-0 draw at Nottingham Forest, but more on them later.)"
"The AFCON final ended with Senegal crowned champions over hosts Morocco, but not before some major drama, a walk-off and a major interruption in play that threatens to overshadow what's been a brilliant tournament. Thomas Frank's Tottenham tenure looks increasingly tenuous following yet another home defeat (this time to fellow strugglers West Ham), and in LaLiga, Real Sociedad pulled off a stunning 2-1 win over league leaders Barcelona that has added fresh juice to a tense title race."
Manchester United beat Manchester City 2-0 in the Manchester derby, holding City to a single shot on target and delivering a significant blow to City's Premier League title ambitions. Arsenal extended its league lead to one point after a 0-0 draw at Nottingham Forest. Senegal won the AFCON final over Morocco amid major drama, a walk-off and a large interruption in play that raised controversy. Tottenham suffered another home defeat to West Ham, increasing pressure on Thomas Frank. Real Sociedad upset Barcelona 2-1, intensifying the LaLiga title race. Bayern Munich continue to dominate the Bundesliga while Serie A, Liverpool, Crystal Palace and Real Madrid produced notable talking points.
