The Ligue 1 clash between Lyon and Olympique Marseille was abandoned after Dimitri Payet was struck in the head by a bottle thrown from the stands just four minutes into the game. The former West Ham midfielder was about to take a corner kick in front of the home fans at the Groupama Stadium, when he was hit by an object launched towards the pitch. Payet immediately appeared hurt, clutching his head in his hands and taking a few gingerly steps, before falling onto the turf. Marseille players and referee Ruddy Buquet immediately rushed over to attend to the France international, while Lyon goalkeeper Anthony Lopes remonstrated with the home fans. Payet eventually got to his feet and was treated by Marseille's medical staff, while the referee suspended the game before eventually opting to abandon the match altogether after a suspension of almost two hours. Lyon authorities had initially ruled the game would restart, a decision which was communicated to fans by the stadium announcer. However, the French League (LFP) immediately criticised the move in a statement. The disagreement led to chaotic scenes, with Lyon players returning to the pitch to warm up while their opponents remained in the dressing room and the match was eventually called off. The stadium's announcer had initially said that the game would restart, following a decision made by local Lyon authorities. Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas criticised the decision to abandon the match. 'The referee first said that the game could restart and he changed his mind after the violent reaction of Marseille, notably that of their coach,' he said. 'I believe the conditions were met to resume the game after the individual had been arrested. He is in police custody.' His Marseille counterpart Pablo Longoria said Payet was 'psychologically affected' by the incident and explained that the club had asked Buquet to check on their players before potentially resuming the game. 'We asked him to check on our players' psychological state. He did not wish to go and see the players.' The referee said that his 'sporting decision' was to not restart the game, but there were other elements to take into account. 'It's a full stadium, players to evacuate,' he said. 'My decision was to call off the game. We have to take our responsibilities and that's what I did tonight.' According to LFP, Payet, who left the pitch with an ice pack on his head, was also subject to 'discriminatory insults'. It's the second the 34-year-old has been hit by missile launched from the stands this season. Ligue 1 has been marred by crowd trouble this season, with several incidents involving Marseille. In August, Payet was struck by a projectile towards the end of the second half of his team's clash with fierce rivals Nice. He reacted angrily and had to be held back by some of his teammates, but still managed to throw the bottle back into the stands. The gesture sparked an angry reaction from Nice fans, who breached the security cordon formed by the stewards and stepped onto the pitch to confront the former Hammers man. As furious supporters stepped onto the pitch, the referee was forced to suspend the game, while Marseille players and staff stepped in to defend Payet and a fight broke out involving players and staff from both teams, fans and stewards. Marseille physio Pablo Fernandez was handed a one-year touchline ban for punching one of the Nice fans. Lens, meanwhile, were ordered to play two games at home behind closed doors after crowd trouble during their match against Lille. In September, meanwhile, Marseille and Angers fans brawled onto the pitch following a goalless draw, with rival supporters trading blows after breaching a security cordon. #footballindepth #LYONOM #payet #Lyon #marseille #olympiquemarseille #olympiquelyon
An Ohio State Buckeyes vs Purdue Boilermakers postgame fan reaction and if I'm being honest, Ohio State did NOT impress me. Sure, C.J. Stroud put up numbers (31/38 for 361 yards, 5 touchdowns and 0 interceptions). Sure, his top receivers balled out with 97% of the receiving yardage gained: Jaxon Smith-Njigba with 9 receptions, 139 yards and 1 touchdown, Garrett Wilson with 10 receptions for 126 yards and 3 touchdowns, and Chris Olave with 9 receptions for 85 yards and 1 touchdown. And sure, the ground game did it's thing as well: Miyan Williams with 14 carries for 117 yards and TreVeyon Henderson with 13 carries for 98 yards and 2 touchdowns. But at the end of the day, Ryan Day continues to have BIG problems on the defensive side of the football. If they're not giving up a ton of passing yards, they're giving up a ton of rushing yards. If they're not giving up a ton of rushing yards, they're giving up a ton of passing yards. All it takes is for one team, the way Oregon did, to take advantage of that and turn yardage into points. Purdue was not that team! Aidan O'Connell balled out, going 40/52 for 390 yards, 4 touchdowns and 0 interceptions against a struggling Buckeyes defense. The running attack averaged 4.8 yards per carry on 19 carries, but had to abandon it completely being down by so much, so soon. It was the costly mistakes that were self-inflicted that made this one a snoozer from the jump, though, and those mistakes, in my opinion, will not be made when Ohio State comes to the Big House in Ann Arbor. The Boilermakers shanked a punt terribly early in the game, fumbled on a handoff, and could not jump on a kickoff, allowing OSU to pounce all over them not even two quarters into things. Here is my reaction to the performance of both teams in this matchup.
The first round of the FA Trophy saw Bedford Town host Potters Bar Town. The game ended before the scheduled time as the referee made the desicion to abandon the game due to scenes of total carnage.
The Minnesota Vikings beat the Los Angeles Chargers 27-20 with their backs against the wall. With Dalvin Cook's off-field troubles and a hard reset looming over the franchise, the Vikings pulled out all the stops. Justin Jefferson absolutely dominated, and Camryn Bynum continues to impress in reserve for Harrison Smith.

XAVI' FIRST TRANSFERS AT BARCELONA! IT WILL BE HUGE! THAT'S WHO BARCELONA WILL SIGN! The date of Xavi's debut in Barcelona has become known Catalunya Ràdio Xavi has already agreed on everything with the leadership of Barcelona, though the current club of the Spaniard Al-Sadd will not let him go until November 3. Xavi is expected to make his debut as Barcelona head coach in an away fixture against Celta in La Liga Matchweek 13. The game is about to take place on November 6. In the next two games against Alaves and Dynamo Kyiv, Barcelona's main squad will be coached by Sergi Barjuan. Xavi started updating the roster Diario Sport With the arrival of Xavi, Barcelona may abandon several team old-timers at once. The club plans include betting on youth, as the performance level that Gerard Pique, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba demonstrate this season does not please the Blaugranas leadership. Some of them will probably have to leave the club in winter. Barcelona plans to pull it off in the most respectful way possible. At the same time, Barça representatives notified the future coaching staff of the team, headed by Xavi, of their plans and the club legend gave the green light for these changes. Xavi decided on priority transfer targets Diario Sport Xavi, who will lead Barcelona early next month, has already decided what new players he wants to see in the team. The priority for the young specialist is to sign a mobile center-back with a good pass, playing in the style of Javier Mascherano. Xavi sees Sevilla's defense leader Jules Kunde as ideal. What’s more, the new Barcelona coach will demand a fast and technically skilled flank striker. The top priority is Raheem Sterling from Manchester City. In case the Catalans fail to sign the Englishman, they will try to poach Kingsley Coman from Bayern. Xavi did not confirm his future role at Barcelona On Saturday, Al-Sadd, coached by Xavi, is going to face Al-Ahli in the Qatar Stars league. Of course, at a press conference before the match, the press representatives immediately asked the Spaniard about his appointment to Barcelona. “I am focused on my work with Al-Sadd and I won't talk about anything else,” - Mundo Deportivo quotes Xavi. Obviously, Xavi is disingenuous about all that bustle around. We all understand his true intentions perfectly well. #xavi #barcelona #football
