MADRID (AP) --- Atletico Madrid won the first capital derby of the season in
the Spanish league with a 2-1 win against 10-man Real Madrid, while Manchester
City prevailed in an eight-goal thriller against Sunderland to move clear at
the top of the Premier League.
Alejandro Grimaldo and Jonathan David scored second-half goals for Atletico,
which moved to second place behind Barcelona.
Man City beat Sunderland 5-3 to open a three-point lead over defending champion
Arsenal in England.
Atletico takes advantage of 10-man Madrid
Atletico scored twice in the second half to beat its city rival, which played a
man down nearly the entire second half at the Metropolitano stadium. Dean
Huijsen was sent off in the 52nd for a foul that prompted the penalty kick
converted by Grimaldo.
David added to the lead in the 59th, before Antonio Rdiger scored for Madrid
in the 89th.
Madrid wanted a red card for Atletico's Cristian "Cuti" Romero in the first
half after he stepped on the leg of Jude Bellingham. The play was reviewed by
the VAR but Romero was only shown a yellow card.
The result moved Atletico within five points of Barcelona, which won 3-1 at
Sevilla on Saturday with a hat trick by Raphinha.
Real Madrid dropped to third. It's six points behind Baracelona, which has won
seven in a row to start the season.
Vincius Jnior had a lackluster performance and was substituted in the 54th by
Yan Diomande.
Man City outlasts Sunderland in Premier League
Man City extended its perfect winning start to the season to five games after
City twice relinquished the lead and Sunderland striker Brian Brobbey outshone
Erling Haaland with a hat trick.
Haaland eventually ended the visitors' brave fight with City's fifth goal in
the 81st minute.
Alexander Isak scored his fourth goal of the season as Liverpool beat
Bournemouth 1-0, and Leeds drew 0-0 with Crystal Palace.
