It's four Premier League wins in a row for Manchester United under Michael Carrick and a season that was unravelling just weeks ago now looks full of promise. A 2-0 victory for United against Tottenham on Saturday (February 7, 2026) extended Carrick's 100% start as head coach and will further strengthen his case to be given the job on a long-term basis. Bryan Mbeumo and Fernandes scored in each half at Old Trafford in a game that saw Spurs reduced to 10 men after captain Cristian Romero was sent off in the 29th minute.

Barcelona extended their lead at the top of the La Liga standings to four points with a clinical 3-0 victory over Mallorca at the Spotify Camp Nou on Saturday. Despite a spirited start from the visitors, Robert Lewandowski broke the deadlock in the 29th minute, pouncing on a rebound after a Marcus Rashford strike was blocked. In the second half, teenage sensation Lamine Yamal doubled the lead with a trademark curling effort from the edge of the box in the 61st minute. Academy graduate Marc Bernal sealed the win late on, scoring his first professional goal with a composed finish. The result keeps Hansi Flick's side firmly in the title race driving seat.
