LONDON (AP) ― Cristiano Ronaldo can’t stop scoring in Spain. Paris Saint-Germain can’t hold a lead in France. And Arsene Wenger still can’t beat Jose Mourinho in England.
Ronaldo scored yet another hat trick on Sunday in another big win for Real Madrid, which seems to have found its stride after a slow start to the season. Chelsea beat Arsenal in the Premier League in a game that will probably be best remembered for a shoving incident between Wenger and Mourinho on the sideline, while PSG were held to a draw by Monaco in a matchup of the French league’s two richest clubs.
Wenger got in a push, but Mourinho landed the bigger blow.
Chelsea consolidated its lead in the Premier League by beating London rival Arsenal 2-0 in a feisty encounter that saw Wenger lose his normal cool and give Mourinho a shove in the chest on the sideline.
Cristiano Ronaldo extended his scoring streak to eight consecutive games as his three goals led Real Madrid to a 5-0 win over Athletic Bilbao in the Spanish league.
It was Ronaldo’s second treble to go with one four-goal game already this season and gave the Ballon d’Or holder a league-leading 13 goals in six appearances, more than the entire team goal totals of 16 of the league’s 20 sides.
