Ricardo Pereira scored for the second consecutive week in the Premier League on Sunday, getting the opener in Leicester City’s 5-0 hammering of Newcastle United at the Walkers Stadium.

The former Porto right-back drove infield with the ball and finished expertly with his weaker left foot for a superb individual goal after 16 minutes, and it proved the catalyst for a big win for The Foxes.

Flamengo’s winning streak in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A came to an end on Saturday evening as the leaders were held to a goalless draw by Sao Paulo at the Maracanã.

Despite the setback, the smart money at bets-promo-code.co.uk is on the team from Rio de Janeiro lifting the title at the end of the season.

• Leonardo Jardim

Monaco are finally up and running in Ligue 1. Leonardo Jardim’s side hammered Brest 4-1 on Saturday evening in a thoroughly convincing performance to make it back-to-back victories for the Monegasques after a difficult start to the season.

The win comes as coach Leonardo Jardim appears to have settled on a preferred system, playing a 3-5-2 formation which not only draws the best from dynamic new front pairing Wissam Ben Yedder and Islam Slimani, but has seen Portuguese Gelson Martins find form, with several punters at Bet365 even backing Monaco to rise up the table and into the European competition qualification places.

Cristiano Ronaldo was recalled to the Juventus starting line-up this weekend after being rested for Tuesday’s victory over Brescia, and it was a goalscoring return to action for the Portugal captain.

Ronaldo’s back-post header secured a 2-0 victory over SPAL in Serie A on Saturday afternoon, making it three wins for the defending champions who assumed leadership of Serie A ahead of Inter’s trip to Sampdoria later in the day.
