English Premier League: Frustration for Liverpool in derby draw, United score three late goals to overcome Newcastle

Liverpool were left frustrated after a 2-2 draw at Everton in the Merseyside derby on Saturday, with VAR ruling out a potential winner from Jordan Henderson in stoppage time and key defender Virgil van Dijk suffering a knee injury.

"Virgil played I don't know how many games in a row, he plays with pain, but he couldn't play on," said Liverpool Manager Jurgen Klopp.

"That's not good."

Klopp said, "We lost one player in a situation where VAR was not involved with Virgil and maybe another one (Thiago Alcantara) in the red card situation and scored a legitimate goal which didn't count – so obviously not our day but the performance was the performance I wanted to see."

Raheem Sterling grabbed the winner as Manchester City beat Arsenal 1-0 in their Premier League clash at The Etihad and a late equalizer from Jannik Vestergaard earned Southampton a 3-3 draw away to Chelsea.

Bruno Fernandes made amends for a missed penalty with a late strike as Manchester United thrashed Newcastle United 4-1 on Saturday to collect their second Premier League win of the season.

"Great result and great character to come back, led by a very inspirational captain," Solskjaer told Sky Sports.

"Harry scored and leads by example," he added. "He showed good character, I am happy for him. He had a couple of difficult weeks since he last played for us.

"The season started for us today. We have come up to the speed of the game and that showed today."

Barcelona fell to their first defeat in La Liga under new coach Ronald Koeman as they lost 1-0 at Getafe on Saturday, hours after champions Real Madrid slipped to a shock 1-0 defeat at home to promoted Cadiz.

"Today was not our day," said Barca midfielder Sergio Busquets. "We only played well in one half and had the odd chance at goal. We knew it was going to be a tough match.

"They took the lead through a one-off moment and they got very comfortable once they were 1-0 up.

"We wanted to play with more speed and fluidity but we weren't able to, although we kept trying and we hit the woodwork right at the end."

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane said his side showed less enthusiasm than promoted Cadiz in their shock 1-0 home defeat in La Liga on Saturday, adding that his team could have been two or three goals down before halftime.

Anthony Lozano gave Cadiz the lead early in the game after the visitors had missed four chances in a chaotic start from champions Real, while the Honduran forward also wasted a clear opportunity to double his side's lead.

"They played with more pace than us and more enthusiasm. We can't make any excuses, we played a bad game and we have to congratulate Cadiz. We're not happy at all," Zidane told reporters.

"It was very difficult for us from the start and I wouldn't have been surprised if they had scored two or three goals in the first half."

Juventus winger Federico Chiesa was sent off on his debut and the Serie A champions also had a goal disallowed by VAR for offside by the tiniest of margins as they were held to a 1-1 draw at promoted Crotone on Saturday.

Chiesa, signed from Fiorentina during the recent transfer window, was given a straight red card for a studs-up challenge on Luca Cigarini on the hour before Morata's goal was chalked off after a 3-minute delay because his heel was offside.

Juventus were missing Cristiano Ronaldo after he tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday while Gianluigi Buffon, their second choice keeper, became the first player to make 650 Serie A appearances.
