Watch: The Best Goals from Sunday in European Football

Sunday delivered an absolute feast of football across Europe, with title fights, thrilling comebacks, and some incredible moments. From the English League Cup Final at Wembley to Arsenal edging Chelsea, Le Classique in Ligue 1 between PSG and Marseille, and a dramatic Atletico Madrid vs. Barcelona clash in La Liga, some the biggest teams in Europe put on a show.

The Old Firm Derby in Scotland lived up to its fiery reputation, while the action in Serie A and the Eredivisie saw title races take another twist. But beyond the drama, Sunday also delivered some incredible goals – here are our top picks.

Bruno Fernandes: Leicester 3-0 MAN UTD

Bruno Fernandes put the perfect finishing touch on Man Utd’s dominant 3-0 win over Leicester with yet another moment of magic. As Diogo Dalot burst down the right, his cutback found Fernandes lurking just outside the box. Without breaking stride, the Portuguese maestro unleashed a stunning first-time strike, curling the ball into the far corner with impeccable technique.

It was a flawless display of control and precision, adding to his earlier assists for Rasmus Højlund and Alejandro Garnacho. A true captain’s performance. Fernandes is simply inevitable.

Ousmane Dembélé: PSG 3-1 Marseille

Ousmane Dembélé cannot stop scoring. The PSG winger continued his red-hot form with another clinical finish in Le Classique, opening the scoring in a 3-1 win over fierce rivals Marseille.

Fresh off his Champions League heroics at Anfield, Dembélé latched onto Fabián Ruiz’s perfectly timed through ball, kept his composure, and slotted home in the 17th minute. It was his seventh goal in as many games and took his season tally to 30 in all competitions.

With Nuno Mendes and a Marseille own goal securing another three points, PSG are now on the brink of their 13th Ligue 1 title. If Dembélé keeps up this form, could a treble be on the cards?

Andrey Santos: STRASBOURG 2-1 Toulouse

On a night where RC Strasbourg needed a hero, Andrey Santos stepped up in spectacular fashion. The Chelsea loanee smashed home a rocket from the edge of the box, rattling in off the woodwork to secure a 2-1 comeback victory over Toulouse.

With eight goals and three assists in all competitions this season, Santos is proving to be one of Ligue 1’s standout midfielders – even earning praise as the best midfielder in the league from manager Liam Rosenior. Strasbourg’s captain on the night, the 20-year-old is leading their charge for European football and sending a clear message to Chelsea ahead of next season.

Hamza Igamane: Celtic 2-3 RANGERS

Hamza Igamane delivered a moment of pure magic in Sunday’s thrilling Old Firm derby, smashing home an 88th-minute winner to hand Rangers a dramatic 3-2 victory at Celtic Park.

Coming off the bench in the closing stages, Igamane capitalized on a defensive slip, cutting inside before rifling an unstoppable shot past Kasper Schmeichel to seal Rangers’ first win at Parkhead since 2020.

It was a rollercoaster clash – Rangers had stormed into a 2-0 lead, only for Celtic to fight back and level at 2-2 in front of a raucous home crowd. But just as it seemed momentum had swung Celtic’s way, Igamane’s clinical finish stunned the hosts and sparked wild celebrations among the travelling Gers fans.

Lamine Yamal: Atletico Madrid 2-4 BARCELONA

Big moments call for big players, and Lamine Yamal is making a habit of delivering.

With Barcelona’s hold on top spot in La Liga in the balance, the 17-year-old wonderkid stepped up in stoppage time, firing a dramatic long-range effort that deflected past Jan Oblak to complete an astonishing comeback against Atletico Madrid.

The goal wasn’t the cleanest strike – taking a wicked deflection before looping in, but it was a moment of pure instinct and composure from Yamal. The youngster admitted after the game “It’s the most important goal I have scored for Barcelona in my career till now” and we couldn’t disagree, as his strike not only secured all three points but also sent a huge statement in the La Liga title race.
