One poor decision is forgivable, two is careless, but there were a hat-trick of howlers, with Tammy Abraham clearly offside for Aston Villa's opener. Lucas Digne needed his own dedicated review booth, escaping with a yellow card for an agricultural tackle on Jacob Murphy and avoiding a penalty for handball. Officials ruled that Digne handled the ball outside the penalty area, an impressive feat given that he both took off and landed inside the box as he jumped to block a cross.

Provocation is part of football,

One day with Fabregas is better than 100 with Allegri

Serie A's referee designator Gianluca Rocchi said match official Federico La Penna was clearly wrong in showing Juventus defender Pierre Kalulu a second yellow card during Saturday's loss at Inter, and apologised over the incident. Kalulu was sent off after Inter's Alessandro Bastoni tumbled to the ground and immediately gestured towards the referee demanding a card, indicating that Kalulu had grabbed his shirt to bring him down. Television footage suggested there was no contact between the players.

When: Sunday, February 15, 2026 at 9 a.m. ET Where: Ennio Tardini in Parma, Italy TV: Paramount+ Parma's Top Scorers Mateo Pellegrino leads the way for Parma this season with six goals, and has 19 shots on goal.

With AC Milan interested in signing a senior defender in January, Massimiliano Allegri repeatedly asked for Federico Gatti. However, it was not possible, at least then. Throughout last month, Gatti's name was heavily repeated, and it makes sense why. The Italian worked heavily with Allegri, and he would fit the bill for what Milan wanted. A physical defender with experience in Serie A.

What was your Serie A debut like? "It was a wonderful feeling. I was small compared to the other players. It was like a roller coaster, but an indescribable feeling that I wish for everyone. Truly beautiful." What is your favourite goal? "The most important one is the one in Lecce-Bologna, my first goal in Serie A, it's a memory that will stay with me for the rest of my life. The best was in Milan-Cagliari two years ago."

Is 'De Winter' coming, like in Game of Thrones? "Yes, exactly." Do you freeze your opponents? "I'll try." What's changed in the last few games? "Nothing's changed. Sometimes it goes your way, sometimes it doesn't. For me, nothing's changed." Who is Allegri to you? "He's an important figure in my career, in my life, because, as you said, he gave me my debut. Now I have him as my coach at AC Milan, so he's an important figure for me."

They were wonderful, formative years. They allowed me to grow in the right way: a ball, a lot of lightheartedness, and a great sense of community.

Ousmane Dembele struck twice as Paris Saint-Germain blew away bitter rivals Marseille on Sunday, reclaiming top spot in Ligue 1 with a crushing 5-0 victory at the Parc des Princes. Dembele opened the scoring after just 12 minutes and added a second before half-time as PSG delivered a real statement of intent going into the crucial months of the season. Facundo Medina's own goal made it 3-0 just past the hour before substitutes Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Lee Kang-in got in on the act as PSG avenged their 1-0 defeat at the Velodrome earlier this campaign. Luis Enrique's side have now won seven straight league matches, though they remain under pressure from surprise challengers Lens, who briefly moved top on Saturday and sit just two points behind.
