Manchester City have been found guilty of “sham payments” and artificially inflating their revenue by more than £900million in a damning verdict reached by an independent regulatory commission investigating more than 100 charges levied by the Premier League.

Spain maintained their 100% record in the UEFA Nations League after a 3-1 win over Czech Republic at Carlos Tartiere Stadium. Lamine Yamal, Rodri and Mikel Merino were among the goals in Oviedo as the world champions made it three wins from three.

🚨SATURDAY POD!🚨 @acjimbo, @LaurensJulien & @adrianjclarke got together on a Saturday night for you 🫡 🤯 England win 7-0 in Croatia! 🏆 Olise Ballon d'Or 2027? 🇮🇪 Troy Parrott - who saw it coming? piped.video/watch?v=PMIw2pFM…

Scotland lead against North Macedonia thanks to Kieron Bowie's goal, but one home supporter in particular was not happy about it... A dog invaded the pitch at the Toše Proeski Arena in Skopje shortly afterwards and took a liking to left-back Sebastian Herrera.

It was against Croatia that England produced their most stylish attacking performance at this summer’s World Cup, but it was nothing on tonight. Thomas Tuchel’s side sizzled, tearing a bedraggled opponent apart time and again. The first half, in particular, was a footballing mismatch. Croatia’s best days might be behind them, but it would be hard to see any international side containing England on this form. They are a joy to behold when let off the leash like this. 📝 @PJBuckingham 🔗 nyti.ms/46YmJVa

England dismantle Croatia in Rijeka. Goals from Harry Kane (2), Bukayo Saka (2), Jude Bellingham, Anthony Gordon and Morgan Rogers seal a comprehensive away win in their Nations League encounter. It's the first time Croatia have conceded five or more goals in a home international. 🔗 nyti.ms/3TIzWya

Harry Kane's assist for Bukayo Saka was his final involvement as he is withdrawn ahead of England's game against Czech Republic on Tuesday at Wembley. Kane's double in Croatia means he has now scored 89 goals for England and needs just 11 more to reach an unprecedented century. The Bayern Munich striker turned 33 this summer but is showing no signs of slowing down. 🔗 nyti.ms/3TIzWya

England were only permitted 100 of their 'top cappers' in Rijeka and if anyone deserved a performance like this then it is them for their loyal support. Bukayo Saka makes it six with his second goal and it is an absolute gift. 🔗 nyti.ms/3TIzWya

England have five against Croatia and this one is the pick of the bunch. Harry Kane slides home at the back post for his 89th international goal after Elliot Anderson's driving run. Jude Bellingham should make it six shortly after. This could be any number. 🔗 nyti.ms/3TIzWya

A dream first-half performance from England against Croatia. All four of England's forward players have scored in Rijeka. Is this the best 45 minutes you have seen under Thomas Tuchel? 🔗 nyti.ms/3TIzWya

Anything Trent Alexander-Arnold can do... A superb cross from the right by Jarrell Quansah finds Anthony Gordon at the far post to head home a third against Croatia. The Barcelona winger now has four goals in his last four England games, including the World Cup semi-final defeat against Argentina. 🔗 nyti.ms/3TIzWya

UEFA ordered that England's visit to Croatia was played behind closed doors, but thousands of young fans have been invited from football academies across Croatia, and from schools in the Rijeka area. The young home fans have already aimed a dig at today's visitors, though Kane and Bellingham's early goals will have dampened their spirits. 🔗 nyti.ms/3TIzWya

If it's not Harry Kane, then it's Jude Bellingham. England double their lead against Croatia after the Real Madrid midfielder prods home from Anthony Gordon's cutback. The roles were reversed shortly after but the Barcelona winger saw his effort saved by Dominik Livakovic. Thomas Tuchel's side are purring in Rijeka. 🔗 nyti.ms/3TIzWya

England lead after just eight minutes against Croatia and there's no prizes for guessing who opened the scoring. It was a poor pass from Josko Gvardiol but Jude Bellingham threaded the ball perfectly to the captain who finished with aplomb. Standard stuff from Kane. But emphatic. 🔗 nyti.ms/3TIzWya

Today's game is due to played behind closed doors, meaning no fans are allowed to attend the game — however, the stadium could be nearly 75 per cent full. Croatia were banned from playing in front of supporters for one game by UEFA, European football’s governing body, after racist and discriminatory fan behaviour during last year’s Nations League quarter-finals. The sanction comes into play for today's game against England at Stadion HNK Rijeka, a 8,279-capacity venue in Rijeka, a port city in the west of the country. However, as things stand, there could be a crowd of up to 6,100. The England Supporters Trust confirmed in September that, after discussions with UEFA, it had been given an allocation of 100 tickets for the fixture. The small travelling away contingent are expected to be joined by thousands of young Croatia fans due to an exception that states “children up to the age of 14 (duly accompanied) from schools and/or football academies can be invited to the match free of charge”. The children have been invited from football academies across Croatia, and from schools in the Rijeka area. 🔗 nyti.ms/3TIzWya

England head coach Thomas Tuchel has made five changes from the side that beat Czech Republic in Prague on Tuesday night. Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott makes his full England debut while Jarrell Quansah, Ezri Konsa and Jude Bellingham return with Jordan Pickford back in goal. Trent Alexander-Arnold drops to the bench. Follow live updates as England resume their UEFA Nations League campaign against Croatia in Rijeka ⬇️ 🔗 nyti.ms/3TIzWya

Arsenal have ruled out a move to significantly expand the Emirates Stadium beyond its current capacity of 60,704. In 2024, the north London club set up a working group led by the chief executive, Richard Garlick, to examine the possibility of extensive additions to its home stadium. It has now been decided that the club are committed to ‘continued evolution’ of the Emirates rather than a ‘huge-scale masterplan’. This would mean a focus on improvements on hospitality, retail, visitor facilities and the wider fan matchday experience. 📝 @Millar_Colin nytimes.com/athletic/7655354…

Finn Azaz is the Ireland international with Israeli heritage who has found himself at the centre of a geopolitical storm. Azaz was described by his head coach as being in a “unique” situation. That is an understatement. @Simon_Hughes__ looks at Azaz ahead of the second game between Ireland and Israel this weekend. 🔗 nytimes.com/athletic/7636726…

Cavan Sullivan is on track to become US Soccer's next superstar. The 17-year-old has shone since MLS resumed in July and he has done so in a pair of individual-specific Adidas cleats, designed with data and by printed by a bespoke algorithm. @LiamTharmeCoach visited Adidas' HQ in Germany to see how it all works. 🔗 nyti.ms/4hB5vDz

You might recall the Jude Bellingham red card. Did he say f*** off or f*** you? This season, it forced Rodri into an apology. But the story of lip reading’s special place in Spanish football culture goes back much further than you might think. @polballus explains ⬇️ 🔗 nyti.ms/4yncHZI

If Jorge Jesus ends up being remembered as the man that ended Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal career, that would do him a colossal disservice. For all the scrutiny after Ronaldo's walkout on his national team, their head coach has built his reputation on refusing to bend for anyone. A small part of him might even be enjoying the chaos. @jacklang profiles the veteran manager that once called himself "the best coach in the world". 🔗 nyti.ms/46YBrLW
