Saint-Etienne 0-5 Olympique Lyonnais

Olympique Lyonnais 0-1 Metz
Ligue 1 leaders Lyon fell to a limp home defeat by mid-table FC Metz at the Groupama Stadium on Sunday night, bringing to and end the hosts’ run of sixteen games unbeaten.

United see off Rochdale on penalties
League One side Rochdale travelled across Manchester for a League Cup Third Round derby against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Wednesday night and nearly caused an upset against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men.
