Week 8 Results Motherwell 2-1 St Mirren Oxford 0-0 Burnley Bologna 1-1 Atalanta Monaco 2-1 Montpellier New York RB 1-5 NYCFC Aston Villa Women 2-2 Spurs Women AZ Alkmaar 1-2 Utrecht Atletico Madrid 1-1 Real Madrid Sao Paulo 3-1 Corinthians Benfica 5-1 Gil Vicente Round-up A tricky week to predict for as 7 of the 10 games either ended in a draw or finished with only a margin of 1 goal. That didn't phase 1 player in particular - @RandoEFC who attained 16 points, which took him flying up to 2nd and he is now @Viva la FCB's closest competitor. @Azeem & @Coma also scored well with 15 points each. Another one of the leader's closest competitors is now @Rucksackfranzose, who scored 14 points. There are now only 7 points between 1st and @Tommy in 7th place. Average score for the gameweek was 11 points, so anyone scoring above that did very well.

You literally asked if they spent money in the summer. All I did was answer your question

Definitely give it given the scoreline and minute!

Madrid derby suspended after their fans threw stuff at Courtois, just after Real scored through Militao.

£65m on Solanke. He scored today...?

Antwerp vs Beerschot abandoned so doesn't count

I hate Fernandes as much as the next man but that's not a red card

That red card really screwed up Hoffenheim. 3-0 after 12 mins. Red card. 3-3 after 40mins.

You know what I meant

Well done to anyone who correctly guessed Hamburg 2-2 Paderborn! Absolutely superb guessing.

Oh yeah don't get me wrong we deserved to be beaten. And a point would have been a huge bonus. An expected loss, a performance where we were dominated for 95% of the game, but when you get to the position of a potential point, and concede in stoppage time in any circumstance it's gonna sting a bit. Whilst Skipp got lucky much later on, I do wonder how the game would have turned out had you lost Calafiori. Maybe we still lose, but maybe also we have a slightly higher chance of holding on.

@Bluebird Hewitt turns out it was a one off, 120th anniversary kit they'd brought out a couple of days ago.

That's their home kit?! It looked all black on TV. I'm used to seeing them having more orange on the home one.

@Bluebird Hewitt the most important and pertinent question - why did both teams play in away kits? Surely Orange and blue doesn't clash and both could have played in home kit...

Wooooo finally a big win.

I thought this too. Only two things I can think of: - he had already given him a yellow card but just wasn't shown on TV. VAR checking it anyway whilst that happened. But with the timing it perhaps just looked like he had waited for VAR, but the yellow card was already given - he had given the yellow card to two (?) staff on the touchline, which they did show on TV. As for your performance would you agree it's fair to say it was scrappy but you still deserved/did enough to win?

Unusual mess up from Alisson and Konate there. Wolves nearly messed up the goal.

Sheff Weds holding out for the win earlier on gave Sunderland a chance to go back top. Missed it by losing to Watford. Blackburn keeping pace. I put Molyneux in my Fantasy EFL team, as it's a double game week with Doncaster having two home games. Of course he gets sent off and they lose

Heartbreaking to concede in stoppage time again. After fighting back against that Arsenal side, that hurts. And very disappointed for Hermansen. He had a superb game.

Skipp should be off.
