We're back with another bumper weekend of football around Europe's top leagues, with several heavyweight matches to look forward to. As usual, follow all the latest scores and updates with our Football Tracker!

22:35 CET - It is all over in Serie A as Atalanta avoid a shock defeat away to Cremonese. After Jamie Vardy scored his first goal as a Cremonese player, Atalanta responded quickly to rescue a point and avoid a shock defeat. It is still not the result they would have wanted before kick-off, however.

21:50 CET - An astonishing first-half at the Gtech Stadium as Brentford lead Liverpool 2-1 in a 45 minutes that had a bit of everything. Liverpool's defensive woes continued for much of the first half as an early Brentford long throw resulted in a Dango Ouattara goal. 

Brentford incredibly doubled their lead in the 45th minute after an inch-perfect Mikkel Damsgaard through ball was finished with aplomb by Kevin Schade to put the hosts into dreamland. 

However, out of nowhere, Liverpool had one back, controversially scoring well beyond the time added on to the anguish of the home supporters. Still, Brentford lead and the onus is on Arne Slot's men to produce a comeback, or their title challenge could derail even further.
