BRENTFORD DEFEAT HIGHLIGHTS NEWCASTLE’S STRUGGLE BALANCING EUROPE AND LEAGUE
Newcastle's away woes continue as Dan Burn's red card contributed to a 3-1 defeat at Brentford. Despite Harvey Barnes' opener, defensive errors and a penalty cost the Magpies, leaving them without a Premier League away win.

Dan Burn was sent off during Newcastle's 3-1 loss at Brentford, prolonging their wait for their first away Premier League victory of the season.
Following the terrible away loss to West Ham at the London Stadium last week, where manager Eddie Howe acknowledged his team were "unrecognisable," a response was required. He received that midweek when they defeated Athletic Club in the Champions League, but at the Gtech Community Stadium, things went back to normal.
In the early going, they appeared to still be suffering from the effects of their meeting against the Bees, finding it difficult to match their intensity and giving the ball away cheaply with some sloppy passing. Additionally, they lost Joelinton, who was arguably their most vivacious player, to a hard knock early on.
However, the away team took the lead thanks to a superb goal from Harvey Barnes, who started in place of the injured Anthony Gordon. Barnes chopped in and then out before hitting low into the back of the net. Newcastle led by one goal at halftime, and the goal appeared to shake Brentford's confidence.
But after the interval, their opponents were energised, obviously seeing their opponents' fatigue, and equalised when Kevin Schade headed in from close range after Newcastle defender Sven Botman had unintentionally flicked on Michael Kayode's long ball.
Kayode's long throw-in is one of the most deadly attacking weapons in the Premier League, and you would be hard-pressed to find a finer one in all of football. Throughout the first half, its speed and flatness caused issues for Newcastle's defence and goalie Nick Pope, and the visitors were ultimately penalised for their inability to handle it.
Then, when the defender seemed to trip the dangerous Dango Ouattara in the penalty area, Newcastle and Dan Burn got away with it. Although Burn's response seemed to indicate that he believed he had handed away a spot-kick, referee Stuart Attwell chose to book Ouattara for diving instead.
And the replays undoubtedly demonstrated how brutal that was. Burn obviously made contact with the striker, and even though the Brentford player tumbled theatrically to the ground, which might have worked against him, the touch was mild. It was also far more of a penalty than a yellow card for diving.
However, the Bees would soon forget their emotions of unfair treatment when Burn brought down Ouatarra in the box once more and was disciplined this time. The Burkina Faso international's speed gave the England defence a nightmare, and he was caught off guard once more when he failed to make a clearance effort and instead made contact with his opponent. Even worse, he was sent off after receiving his second yellow card of the match.
After a lengthy VAR review and Howe's decision to make four changes, including replacing Nick Pope with Aaron Ramsdale in goal, Igor Thiago had to wait a long time to attempt the penalty kick. Ramsdale's first assignment was to try to save Thiago's penalty kick, but the Brazilian handled it coolly, sending the former Arsenal goalie in the wrong direction and sliding the ball into the net.
After racing through and neatly slotting past Ramsdale to make it 3-1, the outstanding Brazilian had time to score another goal. The Brentford striker has scored more Premier League goals this season than anyone else save Erling Haaland, and he has undoubtedly contributed to the fact that the losses of Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa—who did not play for Newcastle against his old team because he is still recovering from a knee injury—have not been felt as much as many had expected.
Losing against Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium is hardly a cause for embarrassment. This season, many teams have done so and will undoubtedly continue to do so. After a challenging summer that saw the loss of important players Mbeumo, Christian Norgaard, and Wissa, as well as manager Thomas Frank, Keith Andrews and the club's management handled the situation admirably, bringing in more than enough replacements for the departing players, including the head coach.
However, there are serious concerns at Newcastle. Their Champions League campaign may be their saving grace, but if their recent league results are any indication, they have little chance of returning there the following season. They also appear to be having difficulty adjusting to the demands of playing midweek and weekend games against elite opponents.
PEP GUARDIOLA CELEBRATES 1000TH MATCH WITH RUTHLESS 3-0 LIVERPOOL WIN
Man City crushed Liverpool 3-0 at the Etihad, with goals from Haaland, González, and Doku. The defeat is Liverpool's fifth in six league games, leaving them 8 points off the top and in crisis.

Manchester City's decisive victory over rivals Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium brought them closer to Arsenal at the top of the Premier League standings.
Erling Haaland scored his 99th Premier League goal in Pep Guardiola's 1000th game as manager, but goals from Nico González and Jérémy Doku sent Liverpool to yet another league loss, their fifth in 2025–2026.
Liverpool did not have a single shot on goal until the 76th minute, which was a very dismal performance by Arne Slot's team.
Man City got off to a strong start and had a fantastic opportunity to take the lead in the thirteenth minute. After a VAR review, it was determined that Giorgi Mamardashvili's knee had knocked Doku down in the area, and Haaland was awarded a penalty kick.
The Georgian goalkeeper successfully saved the Norwegian's spot-kick down low to his right, preventing him from scoring his 99th goal of the season as he attempted to get closer to 100 Premier League goals. With that save, Mamardashvili became the goalie with the most penalty saves in Europe's top five leagues since the beginning of 2023–24 (6).
Fans of City were used to seeing their team miss four of their previous five Premier League penalties against Liverpool, while Haaland's penalty failure was only his third in 20 Premier League attempts.
Haaland made amends in under sixteen minutes. Finally, he scored his 99th Premier League goal with a superb header from a cross by Matheus Nunes. Mamardashvili was stuck to the spot and could only watch the ball nestle into the corner of his net as he outjumped Ibrahima Konaté to direct his header toward goal. More than any other player since coming to England, it was his 17th headed goal in the Premier League.
Following a corner from Mohamed Salah, Liverpool believed they had tied the score in the 38th minute through a header from Virgil van Dijk, but the goal was disallowed when Andy Robertson was judged to be offside for blocking Gianluigi Donnarumma.
In the first half of extra time, González extended City's lead when his effort from beyond the area bounced off Van Dijk's foot and went past Mamardashvili. The Spanish midfielder's goal was his first in 2025–26 and his first since he scored in the team's victory over Bournemouth in May.
Liverpool had only taken three attempts before the interval, and none of them had been on goal. It was only the seventh time the Reds had failed to attempt a shot on goal before halftime in 74 competitive games played under Arne Slot.
Since losing 3-2 to Manchester United in April 2018, City has won all 71 of their Premier League games when leading by two or more goals at halftime, so history told us that a Liverpool comeback was unlikely. With relative ease, that number increased to 72 games.
Doku was the most impressive player the entire time, using his direct rushing and deft footwork to continually turn Liverpool players inside out. He will not score many goals in a City shirt, and his goal in the 63rd minute was the least he deserved for his efforts. The Belgian, who came in off the right flank, fired a long-range goal past Mamardashvili to give his team a 3-0 lead and snap a 24-game league goalless streak. Additionally, it marked the first time Slot's Liverpool team had ever fallen by three goals in a league match.
This resounding triumph over one of their championship contenders was the ideal way for Pep Guardiola to commemorate his 1000th competitive match as manager and his 253rd Premier League victory overall. As we approach the November international break, they are still four points behind leaders Arsenal, but much larger margins have been overcome in a shorter amount of time.
After just 11 games, incumbent champions Liverpool now trail the Gunners by eight points with this most recent loss, which is their fifth in their last six Premier League games. On goal differential, this loss even dropped them below Manchester United in the Premier League standings.
They completed that season outside of the UEFA Champions League qualifying spots (5th), and it was the only Premier League season in the previous ten years in which they had fewer points from their first 11 games (16). After their costly summer recruitment, a similar performance would be highly unwelcome.
ARNE SLOT SHOCKS FANS AS LIVERPOOL WASTE MORE POINTS AGAIN
Liverpool's defensive woes continued in a heavy defeat to Man City, their fifth loss in six games. Arne Slot's centre-back partnership of Konaté and Van Dijk was exposed as the Reds' season turned sour.

On Sunday afternoon, Arne Slot made the quick journey down the M62, and the dismal skies over Manchester were the least of his concerns.
The last eight Premier League titles have been split between Liverpool and City, but when the two modern-day titans faced up at the Etihad, there was a class divide.
After winning back-to-back games against Real Madrid and Aston Villa, the Reds appeared to collapse, but they were quickly overpowered by City's strength.
Every time Liverpool was late to the ball, they frantically argued with referee Chris Kavanagh, clattering a sky blue shirt in the process, and lost every skirmish up and down the field.
It was just another subpar showing in a season that is rapidly losing its shine for Slot's once-glistening stars. And it all comes down to a single choice the Dutchman made.
This season, Liverpool's defensive problems have been widely reported. In reaction, Slot benched Milos Kerkez, making room for Conor Bradley to establish himself.
Even though Bradley was outstanding against Vinicius Jr. that week, he was chasing shadows against Jeremy Doku, who was inspired.
Doku was a continual source of trouble for Liverpool, and he scored his well-earned goal—City's third—with the enchanted strike that Reds supporters have come to expect from Mohamed Salah.
Slot must, however, address the centre-back duo of Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate.
Van Dijk's abilities appear to be ebbing away; while he may be upset that his goal was disallowed, his defence of City's second goal is unacceptable.
A limp leg protruded from the Dutchman's backpedalling towards his own goal, leaving the ball over a flat-footed Giorgi Mamardashvili.
Since Konate was identified as Liverpool's primary vulnerability, City put pressure on all of the players, giving the Frenchman time with the ball so he could leap on a misdirected pass.
Konate got the most touches on the field during the first half, with City players accounting for the next four.
Slot wanted Marc Guehi since Liverpool is lacking in the back, but he can not keep letting the Frenchman fall to the wolves.
The Reds have already dropped behind Manchester United under Ruben Amorim, lost five of their previous six Premier League games, and are now far from the top of the table.
Liverpool's Premier League schedule is getting easier as they play Nottingham Forest at home, West Ham away, and Sunderland at home next.
Anything less is unacceptable for Slot and Liverpool; all three must win.
