Europe Review: PSG Put Six Past Enyeama, Aubamenyang Scores, Premier league action Plus More!

Team mates celebrate Lavezzi's goal

Winger Ezequiel Lavezzi grabbed a hat trick and striker Edinson Cavani scored twice as Paris Saint-Germain bounced back from its lackluster performance against Barcelona by thrashing Lille 6-1 which had Super Eagles captain Vincent Enyeama in goal to move three points ahead of Lyon at the top of the French league on Saturday.

PSG also boosted its goal difference to close that gap on Lyon, which has a marginally better goal difference but Lyon moved back to the top after a win away at Reims on Sunday. Though PSG still has a game in hand.

PSG will be looking to plunder more goals on Tuesday when it plays its game in hand at home to 19th-place Metz.

Aubameyang celebrates with Kagawa after creating the goal for the midfielder

Borussia Dortmund winger Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored an audacious penalty and set up another goal in a 2-0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday to keep their Europa League hopes alive.

The Gabon international took over the penalty duties with Marco Reus on the bench and chipped his 24th minute spot kick down the middle of the goal with keeper Kevin Trapp diving early.

He then charged down the wing and cut back for Shinji Kagawa to tap in as Dortmund, last season's runners-up, moved up to eighth place on 39 points, three behind Augsburg in sixth with four games left in the season.

Pinzi holds the ball well against AC Milan

Second-half goals by Giampiero Pinzi and Emmanuel Badu gave Udinese a 2-1 win over Milan in Serie A on Saturday, further diminishing their slim hopes of playing in European competition next season.

Milan moved down to ninth on the log after an unexpected loss at Udinese with 43 points and six games to go, six points adrift of sixth-placed Fiorentina who also more surprisingly lost at home to relegation threatened Cagliari.
Udinese dominated from the start with Antonio Di Natale testing goalkeeper Diego Lopez's reflexes after 42 seconds.

Antoine Griezmann celebrates another goal for Atletico

 

Antoine Griezmann took his Liga tally for the season to 21 with a double as Atletico Madrid bounced back from Champions League disappointment to beat Elche 3-0.
Diego Simeone’s side suffered defeat to rivals Real Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday, and looked somewhat lethargic early on in the first half - as Atletico struggled to contain Elche on the counter attack.
The Argentine coach watched from the stands after being sent from the touchline in Atletico’s last Liga game against Deportivo La Coruna.

 

Barcelona and Real Madrid continued their excellent form and tight race for the liga tittle with respective wins in their Spanish primera league matches defeating Espanyol and Celta Vigo respectively. Neymar and Messi were the goalscorers as Barcelona ran out two nil winners with both teams receiving a red card each.

Hernandez celebrates another goal for Real

And Javier Hernandez continued his first team starts with two goals on Sunday as Real saw of the threat of Celta Vigo to remain in contention for the Primera liga tittle.

In the premier league, Tottenham managed to hold Southampton to a draw as both teams played out an entertaining 2-2 draw with Gabriel Pelle scoring a  brace for Southampton. Four other matches in the Premier league also ended in draws this weekend with Liverpool - Westbrom among them, so also the highly anticipated Arsenal vs Chelsea match. The match ended in an anti-climax with neither team able to break the deadlock. So Arsene Wenger still continues to search for that much needed win over counter-part Jose Mourinho.

But the biggest talking point remain the total demolition of Manchester United by Everton at Goodison Park. 

 Goals from James McCarthy, John Stones and Kevin Mirallas condemned United to their third successive Premier League loss at Goodison Park as well putting their hopes of a top-four finish at risk.

United need to step up their game in the few remaining matches to be able to confirm eligibility for Europe's elite club competition.
