Alexis Sanchez opened scoring in the second minute and was followed up by goals from Leo Messi 12, 42, Daniel Alves 23, Pedro 26,72 and and Xavi Hernandez on 45 mins. It was an impressive display from Tata Martino's side and a complete 90 minutes dominance from the Catalans.

Bundesliga Season 2013/2014 review Episode 2

BORUSSIA DORTMUND 2 1  EINTRACHT BRAUNSCHWEIG

Goals from substitutes Jonas Hoffmann and Marco Reus in the second half were enough to give Borussia Dortmund a 2-1 win over Eintracht Braunschweig at Signal Iduna Park on Sunday.

With the game deadlocked for 72 minutes, Jonas Hoffman was brought on to raise the tempo of the game and the 22 year old did just that as he scored his first goal in Borussia colors. He went on to win an 85th minute penalty which Marco Reus coolly converted to take a 2 - 0 lead. Despite Kevin Kratz's late goal for Braunschweig, Borussia Dortmund were not to be denied the hard fought victory.

They are one of five teams to have won their first two Bundesliga games. Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich, Mainz 05 and Werder Bremen are the others, with Dortmund topping the table on goal difference.

Barclays Premier League Review Season 2013/2014, Episode 1

Arsenal 1 3 Aston Villa



Arsenal had a worst possible start to the 2013/2014 premier league season as they lost 3-1 at home to Aston Villa. It was a show of shame from the gunners, they find themselves 17th on the table after starting the day in first place by virtue of order of Alphabets. Arsene Wenger having parted ways with fourteen players over the summer and bringing in just one Yaya Sanogo might just be the loneliest man in the managerial world right now. The French boss has only 12 fit outfield players with 10 players on the treatment table. Aaron Ramsey, Tomas Rosicky, Alex Chamberlain, Bacary Sagna, Kierran Gibbs, Mikel Arteta, Ryo Miyaichi, Nacho Monreal. Thomas Vermalaen, Abou Diaby all facing spells on the side lines. With laurent Koscielney receiving a red card, the gunners will take only 2 defenders to Craven Cottage when they face Fulham next weekend.
