Napoli take Serie A lead, PSG and Bayern earn 3-0 wins
Napoli, PSG and Bayern all enjoyed big wins as Villarreal claimed bragging rights in La Liga.
Napoli took advantage of AC Milan's mistake to take the lead in Serie A with a 3-1 victory over Inter Milan.
Milan were held to a 2-2 draw by Pisa on Saturday, and the reigning champions made no mistake in eliminating the team they led to the Scudetto last season to reach the top.
Surprisingly beaten 6-2 by PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League On Tuesday, Napoli took the lead through Kevin De Bruyne's 33rd-minute penalty after Henrikh Mkhitaryan brought down Giovanni Di Lorenzo, although De Bruyne injured his hamstring breaking the deadlock.
McTominay gives Napoli two points in style
Scott McTominay doubled their lead in stunning fashion with a superb volley from the edge of the box just over eight minutes into the second half.
Hakan Calhanoglu halved the deficit from the penalty spot, but André-Frank Zambo Anguissa's individual shot in the 66th minute settled the score for Antonio Conte's side.
Napoli are one point ahead of Milan, with Inter three behind the new leaders.
Jamie Vardy scored his first goal for Cremonese in their 1-1 draw against Atalanta, putting the hosts ahead by grabbing the rebound in the 78th minute. However, Atalanta snatched a point thanks to Marco Brescianini's equalizer six minutes later.
Como drew 0-0 at Parma, while Udinese beat Lecce 3-2 in the other Serie A matches.
Hakimi returns PSG to the top
Achraf Hakimi was the star of Paris Saint-Germain who returned to the top of Ligue 1 with a 3-0 victory at Brest.
The full-back scored twice in the space of 10 minutes to give PSG a 2-0 lead. He opened the scoring in the 29th minute with a precise first pass from Vitinha, before then converting from a narrow angle after connecting well with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Lee Kang-in's handball into the box gave Brest a lifeline from the spot, but Romain del Castillo slipped in the process of taking the penalty and skewed his effort horribly high and wide.
Désiré Doué completed the victory in the 96th minute, with PSG moving ahead of Marseille in the standings as their main rivals slipped up at Lens.
Mason Greenwood put Marseille ahead in the 17th minute, but an effort from Odsonne Edouard and a Benjamin Pavard own goal gave Lens a victory that leaves them second.
Monaco beat Toulouse 1-0 to move into fourth, one point behind Marseille.
Bayern eliminates Gladbach, 10 players
Bayern Munich remained five points clear at the top of the Bundesliga, beating bottom side Borussia Mönchengladbach 3-0.
Gladbach were reduced to 10 men when Jens Castrop was sent off for a reckless challenge on Luis Diaz in the 19th minute.
It took until the 64th minute for Bayern to break the deadlock against Joshua Kimmich, and five minutes later Raphael Guerreiro scored to double the lead.
Kevin Stöger hit the post with a penalty as he missed a golden opportunity to reduce Gladbach's arrears, and with nine minutes remaining in normal time the game was put beyond doubt as teenager Lennart Karl became Bayern's third-youngest goalscorer in the Bundesliga.
The 17-year-old scored in the Champions League in midweek and scored from long range as Bayern maintained their 100 percent record in all competitions this season.
RB Leipzig remain Bayern's closest challenge after their 6-0 win at Augsburg, while Borussia Dortmund needed a 96th-minute goal from Maximilian Beier to beat Cologne 1-0.

Elsewhere in La Liga, Espanyol moved to fourth with a 1-0 win over Elche, while Athletic Bilbao lost at home to Getafe by the same scoreline.
Girona and Real Oviedo played out a six-goal thriller in Catalonia.
A Federico Vinas penalty and a Salomon Rondon goal put Oviedo in charge, but two Cristhian Stuani penalties either side of Azzedine Ounahi's equalizer looked to have secured the points for Girona.
Stuani's second penalty came in the 91st minute but, seven minutes later, David Carmo secured a 3-3 draw with his own penalty.
