Juventus pulled off a dramatic comeback vs. RB Leipzig in the Champions League on Wednesday to win 3-2 despite being a player down. The club’s winning goal came after a brilliant Weston McKennie tackle on Leipzig star Xavi Simons.

In the closing minutes of the game Leipzig looked to have a dangerous counterattack on their hands with Simons leading the charge. McKennie, who had played the entire game, tracked him down and put in a perfect tackle to stop the attack.

Juventus would the go on to score the game winning goal with the possession that McKennie won back.

MANCHESTER, England, Sept 29 (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur's Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke got on the scoresheet in a 3-0 victory over 10-man Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday as the visitors ran roughshod over the bedraggled home side.

Lionel Messi scored a second-half equalizer and Inter Miami claimed a 1-1 draw against Charlotte FC in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., on Saturday night.

Miami (19-4-8, 65 points) played to a draw for the third straight time following a five-match winning streak from July 17-Sept. 14.

Charlotte (11-11-9, 42 points) was denied back-to-back victories, which would have marked the club's first winning streak since mid-June. Still, Charlotte FC are unbeaten over their past two matches on the heels of a three-match skid.

There are certain myths and legends in soccer that are the most lethal goal scorers. Arjen Robben cutting inside is a prime example, but a new legacy has arrived: Brentford in the first minute.

Bryan Mbeumo found the back of the net against West Ham on Saturday in Brentford’s 1-1 draw. One week prior he scored against Tottenham in the first minute of play.

The Christian Pulisic goal vs Lecce on Friday marked the American’s fourth game in-a-row scoring for AC Milan. He’s off to a flying start to the season.

Milan came to life at the end of the first half with three goals in the span of five minutes. Pulisic made it 3-0 in the 43rd minute when he struck from close range.

A Tammy Abraham shot pinballed around in the Lecce box before falling to the feet of the American who made no mistake.

The draw in what was more of a slugfest than a chess match left Pep Guardiola's men with 13 points after five matches, while Mikel Arteta's Arsenal are fourth with 11.

The Guglielmo Vicario handball vs. Brentford shocked fans as the Italian goalkeeper got away with one of the crazier acts we’ve seen on Saturday.

During Tottenham’s 3-1 victory, Vicario evaded the law with a wild sequence early in the second half.

Spurs were holding onto a 2-1 lead when a dangerous cross was whipped toward the top of Vicario’s penalty area. The 27-year-old leapt to claim the ball but made a mess of things.
