Brighton earned a hard-fought 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground, with goals from Maxim De Cuyper before halftime and substitute Stefanos Tzimas late in the second half.

Boubacar Kamara’s brilliant second-half strike secured Aston Villa a 1-0 win over local rivals Wolves, giving the Villans their seventh victory in eight Premier League games and moving them up to third in the table.

David Neres' first-half goal helped Napoli seal a 1-0 win over AS Roma in Serie A at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on Sunday. The result took the visitors level with AC Milan at the top of the table. After dominating the start of the match, Neres scored in the 36th minute, finishing a swift counter-attack to silence the home crowd. Roma pushed hard in the second half, with Tommaso Baldanzi denied by a superb stoppage-time save from Vanja Milinkovic-Savic. Paulo Dybala's introduction failed to spark an equaliser as the Partenopei's defence held firm to take all three points home.
Real Madrid wasted the chance to go top of the La Liga table after being held to a 1-1 draw by Girona at the Estadi Montilivi on Sunday. Azzedine Ounahi's terrific curling effort right before half-time gave the Blanquivermells a shock lead, punishing Real Madrid's wasteful display. Los Blancos dominated possession after the break but struggled to create clear chances. Hugo Rincon gave away a penalty that Kylian Mbappe converted in the 67th minute, drawing the visitors level. Xabi Alonso's side pushed hard for the lead, but Girona held firm to earn a valuable point.
Manchester United rallied to a 2-1 win at Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Sunday (November 30, 2025). Joshua Zirkzee ended a scoring drought with his first league goal in almost a year. The Dutch striker hadn't scored in England's top flight since a double against Everton on December 1 last year, but ended that streak with a stunning strike at Selhurst Park. A moment of individual brilliance fired United back into the game in the 54th after Jean-Philippe Mateta put Palace ahead from the penalty spot in the first half. Mason Mount struck the winner from the edge of the box in the 63rd as United ended Palace's 12-game unbeaten home run in the league.
Liverpool got back to winning ways, beating West Ham 2-0 in the Premier League on Sunday (November 30, 2025). Alexander Isak scored his first league goal for Liverpool to set up a much-needed win for Arne Slot's team. On a day when Mohamed Salah was dropped to the bench, British record signing Isak opened the scoring at the London Stadium. Cody Gakpo got the second for Liverpool, who went into the match on a run of six losses in their last seven league games. Slot's bold call to leave out the iconic Salah paid off after the Egypt international's unconvincing form this season. Slot shook up his attack, with Florian Wirtz and Gakpo alongside Isak.
Mikel Merino salvaged a 1-1 draw for Arsenal at 10-man Chelsea as the race for the Premier League title tightened on Sunday (November 30, 2025).

Mikel Arteta's team was boosted late in the first half at Stamford Bridge when Moises Caicedo was sent off for a dangerous challenge on Merino. But despite being a man down Chelsea went ahead in the 48th minute through Trevoh Chalobah's header. Merino equalized in the 59th, but Arsenal couldn't make their numerical advantage count and dropped points away from home for the second time in successive matches.
