Hull City could not hold on against Everton, drawing 2-2 in a Premier League match that swung back and forth before settling into a share of the points. Both sides will have mixed feelings: Hull pushed for a win that got away from them, and Everton will be relieved to leave with something after conceding twice.
The scoreline keeps both clubs level on the day, and with four goals shared between them it was the kind of match that neither manager will watch back with much comfort. Hull's attack found the net twice but the same frailty that let Everton in for two of their own will be the focus heading into the next round of fixtures.
Manchester City Cruise at Anfield
Elsewhere in the Premier League, Manchester City delivered the result of the day, beating Liverpool FC 3-0 away from home. A three-goal margin on the road is a statement result, and it leaves Liverpool with plenty of questions after a scoreless afternoon in front of their own supporters.
Crystal Palace also had a day to remember, beating Nottingham Forest 3-1 at home. Palace's attacking output was enough to see off Forest comfortably, with the visitors only getting one goal back.
La Liga Action
In La Liga, Real Betis put on the biggest show of the weekend, beating Osasuna 5-2 in a match that produced seven goals in total. It was the highest-scoring result across the matches played.
Real Sociedad edged past Deportivo de A Coruña 3-2 in another five-goal thriller, while Elche and Celta Vigo played out a goalless draw, the only match of the round without a goal at either end.
Across both leagues, the day's results ranged from stalemate to five-goal rout, with the Hull City and Everton draw standing out as the match that had supporters on their feet until the final whistle.
