A flying start to the Premier League season is quickly unraveling for Leeds United following a 5-2 loss to Brentford.

Walking out, pointing skyward, Paulo Dybala’s return to the Allianz was clearly emotional. A cathedral that was home to many of his best moments in the black and white of Juventus was the host of his third match for rivals Roma.
