United Nine Games Without a Win - a Run It Hasn't Had in 38 Years, and Trenčovski Won the Derby in Slovenia

Nine games without a win: United match a dark record from 38 years ago

Chelsea beat Manchester United 2-0 at Stamford Bridge, and more important than the three points was the number on the other side: nine matches without a win in all competitions, a run the club hasn't had in 38 years. United had chances in the first half, Cunha even found the net, but VAR ruled the goal out for offside. In the 50th minute Morgan Rogers lobbed Lammens, and after an hour Lisandro Martínez fouled Fofana, got a second yellow card and gave away a penalty. Palmer converted it for his 50th Premier League goal, in 125 appearances. Carrick blamed the card. But when a run lasts nine games, how many alibis does it take to forget it?

Brighton win at the Etihad for the first time and open the door for Arsenal

Brighton had never won at the Etihad. Yesterday they did it, 1-0 against Manchester City, just three days after City knocked them out of the League Cup on penalties. Yasin Ayari scored in the 11th minute, and Lewis Dunk twice stood in front of Haaland. Maresca's side had the ball, but Verbruggen stayed unbeaten and City lost a second straight league game. Brighton are third with 19 points, two behind City. Now Arsenal hold the key: a win at Anfield today can take them above City. Except the champions haven't won there in the Premier League since September 2012, and were recently knocked out of the League Cup by Fleetwood. Thirteen away games without a win - will the fourteenth be a record or an answer?

Moreira settled the derby alone: Inter's first defeat of the season

Milan beat Inter 3-1 and handed the champions their first defeat of the season. It was 2-0 inside ten minutes: Pulisic with a header from a Diego Moreira cross in the fourth minute, Rabiot from a Moreira corner in the tenth. Bastoni pulled one back with a header, and before the break the Belgian finished the derby with a direct free kick. Two assists and a goal, in a derby. Between the posts Maignan stopped Çalhanoğlu, Diouf and Spence, and Inter were also left without a penalty after VAR overturned a handball decision. Milan won the derby for the fourth time in a row and are back in the title race. Does Inter have an answer before the next round?

Ohrid 0-3 at Čair and four points clear in the Second League

In the Second League the order is clear. Ohrid beat Shkupi 3-0 away, led by two goals at halftime and reached 25 points. Brera overcame Novaci 4-1 after a goalless first half, and Kožuf took the points from Gorno Lisiče with a 3-1 win over Euromilk. Things are hardest at Shkupi, still waiting for their first point after ten rounds. Pelister, four points behind the leaders, host Detonit Plačkovica today and can close the gap. Is there anyone who can stop Ohrid before winter?

Trenčovski took three points off Maribor at Ljudski Vrt

Slovenia's biggest derby was settled by a team with a Macedonian coach. Jugoslav Trenčovski led Olimpija to a 1-0 win at Maribor, with a goal by Indrit Tuci in the 56th minute. The Ljubljana side now have 22 points and are three behind leaders Koper. Macedonian international Dimitar Mitrovski started on the bench, came on in the 69th minute and played out the finish. A Macedonian coach in a title race in Slovenia isn't news that comes around every week.
