After getting bounced by Real Madrid in the Champions League, collectively booed by its own supporters at the Parc des Princes and hammered by Monaco at Stade Louis II, no club appreciated the international break more than PSG.
LONDON - Tottenham Hotspur moved into the Premier League top four after a second-half blitz of goals from Matt Doherty, Son Heung-min, Emerson Royal and Steven Bergwijn fired them to an emphatic 5-1 home win over Newcastle United on Sunday.

LONDON — A goal for Christian Eriksen, two from Vitaly Janelt and a late addition from Yoane Wissa earned Brentford a shock 4-1 comeback victory over west London neighbors Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday.
Chelsea center back Antonio Rudiger brought the game to life after a dull first half at Stamford Bridge when, three minutes after halftime, his screamer of a shot from about 35 yards flew in off the post.
RUDIGER SCREAMER!
Last week, Juventus sent shockwaves through Europe with a stunning upset of Lyon in the first leg of their Women’s Champions League quarterfinal. On Thursday, order was restored in the WoSo world thanks to Catarina Macario turning her Italian defender inside out.

Entre el Wordle del día y un sándwich de jamón y queso, el gol de mediocampo de Tepatitlán al Atlante fue lo mejor del desayuno dominical.
Sí, sí, el gol fue anoche, pero uno no puede ver todo en tiempo real.
La conquista vino al minuto 49, cuando el Tepatitlán ya ganaba por la mínima.
Christian Eriksen said he made his return to international football in the "perfect way" by scoring two minutes after coming on for Denmark on Saturday following a near-fatal heart attack last year.
Denmark lost 4-2 to the Netherlands in the international friendly, with Eriksen producing a stunning finish into the top corner in the 47th minute after he came on as a half-time substitute.
Gareth Bale's 2021-22 Real Madrid season was summed up by last Sunday's Clásico, when rumors of a surprise start in replace of the injured Karim Benzema led to nothing more than the Welshman missing out on the matchday squad entirely.
Bale's played a total of just 270 minutes in five appearances across all competitions, including only 77 minutes this calendar year, and his only goal of the campaign came way back in August.
But as we all know, Bale's an entirely different animal when representing his national team: Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that order.
There are very few keepers that've ever managed to score a last-minute goal for their side to advance in a cup competition, and the majority of such instances are usually without any proof — they're legendary tales of long-forgotten matches played out across rec-league pitches and inside futsal courts that are passed down through oral tradition.
