What a weekend of soccer fun across Europe's top five leagues! The Premier League's big game involved two title-chasing London sides and it played out to a fiery, tempestuous 1-1 draw that should leave Chelsea and Arsenal fans happy ... even though it won't. In Spain, Xabi Alonso continues to make heavy work of evolving Real Madrid into his style, as they dropped yet more points in a draw with Girona that slides them out of first place.

In Europe, Paris Saint-Germain's casual approach to Ligue 1 could come back to hurt them after another disappointing result -- a 1-0 defeat at ten-man Monaco -- and Napoli remained in touch with the Serie A title race as Antonio Conte's side grabbed a 1-0 win at Roma.
