Points shared at the Emirates

Martin Demichelis’ late header salvaged a point for Manchester City in their thrilling 2-2 draw with Arsenal on Saturday. Most of the action took place in the second period when Jack Wilshere scored and set up Alexis’ sublime volley to earn a 2-1 lead before Demichelis’ intervention.

Diego Costa scored his first Chelsea hat-trick in his team’s comeback 4-2 victory over Swansea City, while Manchester United enjoyed a happy return to Old Trafford, as Angel Di Maria led the Red Devils to a refreshing 4-0 win over QPR.

Atletico takes derby spoils

Real Madrid continued their poor start to the 2014/2015 La Liga season after losing 2-1 to neighbours Atletico Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu. Cristiano Ronaldo’s penalty ensured they entered the break level after Tiago’s opening header but substitute Arda Turan’s goal on 76 minutes proved to be the difference. It was Atletico’s second win at the Bernabeu in two seasons.

Lionel Messi and Neymar combined beautifully to complete Barcelona’s 2-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao. Both goals came after 78 minutes of resilient Athletic defending, but Neymar’s decisive introduction came with a decisive brace for La Blaugrana, who remains top.

Another win for the top 2

Last season’s champions and runner-up Juventus of Turin and AS Roma both secured their second win of the new season.

Juventus defeated Udinese 2-0 at home with Carlos Tevez pouncing on Stephan Liechtsteiner’s deflected cross on eight minutes. Udinese threatened the Bianconeri’s defence, but Claudio Marchisio’s late low drive put the game to bed.

In Tuscany, it took a Luigi Sepe own goal to give Roma a 1-0 victory over Empoli despite Roma’s attack being largely disappointing.

Kagawa marks

return with a win

Shinji Kagawa’s second coming at Borussia Dortmund began with an easy 3-1 win over Freiburg at Signal Iduna Park. Kagawa, who completed a move from Manchester United two weeks ago, played a part as he scored his team’s second goal in a dominating win for Dortmund.

Bayern Munich prepared for their Champions League opener against Man City the best way possible, by defeating Stuttgart 2-0 on Saturday. Mario Goetze opened on 30 minutes for Bayern when he fired his volley into the bottom corner before Franck Ribery sealed the deal with only six minutes left.
