Rúben Neves was in fine form on Sunday afternoon with a goal and a decisive role in the second as Wolverhampton Wanderers beat local rivals Aston Villa in the West Midlands derby.

Neves opened the scoring with a typically well-placed shot from the edge of the area, before winning the ball ahead of what proved the winner by Raul Jimenez. The win saw Nuno Espírito Santo’s side move up to 8^th in the table and extend their unbeaten run in the Premier League to seven matches.

Olympiacos remain top of the standings in Greece this weekend after a 2-0 win over Atromitos ensured their two-point lead over PAOK continues into the international break. Seleção midfielder Daniel Podence was on the scoresheet for Pedro Martins’ side, who are unbeaten so far this season.

Defending champions PAOK also won, with Abel Ferreira’s men edging a 1-0 victory at OFI, while Nélson Oliveira scored again but was on the losing side as AEK Athens surrendered a two-goal lead to lose 3-2 at Panathinaikos in the Athens derby.

Flamengo maintained their 8-point advantage at the top of Brasileirão this midweek thanks to a last-gasp 1-0 win at Rio de Janeiro rivals Botafogo on Thursday evening.

Teenage substitute Lincoln scored the winning goal in the 89^th minute for Jesus’ men, but many of the headlines centred on the Portuguese coach’s criticism of Flamengo’s opponents and a confrontation with Botafogo’s defender Joel Carli.

Flamengo beat Corinthians 4-1 at the Maracanã Stadium on Sunday evening to maintain their 8-point lead at the top of Brasileirão with just eight matches left to play.

Forward Bruno Henrique scored a remarkably-timed hat-trick for the Rio de Janeiro club, and former Braga, Benfica and Sporting boss Jorge Jesus was in typically swaggering form during the post-match interview when discussing his coaching impact on the team as well as Henrique’s form under his tutelage.
