Chelsea secured top spot in the league table as they snatched an astonishing win from Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.

Brazilian Coach Tite has said he believes that the FIFA Mens Player of the Year 2016 should be given to Cristiano Ronaldo and he explains why.

Ronaldo may have not expected himself to pick up form this rapidly but with Saturday game, he surely is doing well to rapidly pick up his form.

It was quite an obvious prediction that Real Madrid was in a different class from Sporting Gijon whom they played on Saturday and a win was quite predictable. Especially when the match was at the Santiago Bernabeu. But Sporting Gijon put in a good fight, had a couple of chances still were not able to steal a draw or win. Real Madrid had an amazing first as the took a 2-0 lead at the end of the first half. Lucas Vasquez who was part of the starting line-up - mostly due to the absence of the Welshman Gareth Bale - was fouled in the penalty box and Ronaldo took the penalty and scored.

Messi must have been shocked to see another outstanding left-footed player during the weekend games. Barcelona went to Sociedad for the Matchday 13 games. Surely, Barcelona thought they would win and Messi must have expected this to be another game that would add to his super ratings. But to the contrary, Messi met another astonishly left-footer in the home side by the name of Carlos Vela. He spearheaded the attacking midfield of the home team and there was never a dull moment once he had the ball. He was totally magnificent. As Messi struggled to get a hold of the ball, Vela was busy dazzling with it. With several shots on goal and two shots that hit the woodwork, Vela clearly outshines Messi.

Barcelona was outplayed in Real Sociedad's home but managed to steal a draw. In the first half, Barcelona had just a handful of shots on goal but Real Sociedad took the game from Barcelona and Barcelona was virtually finding it difficult to concentrate and get the ball on the ground.

Manchester United have fallen to yet another draw in the EPL this season and in the process have fallen 10 points behind league leaders Chelsea. After the first half ended 1-1 with goals from Diafra Sakho and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the second half failed to sparkle. United's momentum from the first half was missing and even the introduction of Rooney and Mkhitaryan failed to liven up United's attack as West Ham defended in numbers.
