Brentford took a huge step towards sealing their safety after thrashing Luton Town 5-1 via goals from Kevin Schade, Keane Lewis-Potter, Ethan Pinnock and a Yoane Wissa brace.

Julián Álvarez scored a brace within a half-hour and Rodri sealed the deal after the break as Manchester City came away with a 3-1 win vs. Burnley at the Etihad.

Paqueta has been unplayable at times this season - Here’s my piece for @breakthelines about his time at West Ham so far.

[Breaking The Lines @breakthelines]

Lucas Paqueta amongst West Ham's squad:

-Most big chances created (8)

-Second-most assists (5)

-Second-most long balls per 90 (2.3)

-Second-most dribbles per 90 (1.6)

-Second-most tackles per 90 (2.4)

[Zach Lowy @ZachLowy]

I genuinely think there’s fewer than a handful of teams in Europe that Lucas Paqueta doesn’t start for.

He’s the complete playmaker, can hurt you out on the flank, can absorb the pressure and eliminate several opponents, but also an asset in ground duels and defensive skills.

Venezuela are the only CONMEBOL side who have never made it to a World Cup, but they’ve begun qualifying with 7 points from 4 games after drawing at Brazil and thrashing Chile 3-0. Think Yeferson Soteldo is going to be absolutely vital to their chances.

[Breaking The Lines @breakthelines]

Over the past international break, we saw several players exceed expectations and lead their countries to positive results.

Today, @WilfMacdonnell takes a look at five players who stole the show during the international break.

[Breaking The Lines @breakthelines]

Sheffield United have:

-Sold top scorer Iliman Ndiaye to Marseille

-Replaced Sander Berge with Gustavo Hamer

-Lost Billy Sharp and Enda Stevens on frees

-Signed Vinicius Souza, Auston Trusty and Anis Slimane

Have Sheffield United done enough to avoid relegation? 🤔👇🏻

[Breaking The Lines @breakthelines]

Wolves have parted ways with Julen Lopetegui and ended his nine-month spell as manager, announcing the decision just six days before their league opener at Old Trafford.

What's going wrong at Wolves? @WilfMacdonnell on a summer of malaise at Molineux.

https://t.co/pVLGZLgneM

[Wilf MacDonnell @WilfMacdonnell]

It seems Lopetegui won’t be sticking around - currently in the process of mutually terminating his deal

[Wilf MacDonnell @WilfMacdonnell]

Piece for @breakthelines on why Wolves could in be in trouble this season - will Lopetegui stick around at the Molineux if things off the pitch don’t improve ?

[Breaking The Lines @breakthelines]

Wolves have raised nearly £90m in player sales, selling key players like Ruben Neves and Nathan Collins, but they’ve signed just two players this summer — both on free transfers.

Are Wolves in grave danger of going down? @WilfMacdonnell takes a look: https://t.co/pVLGZLgneM

[Zach Lowy @ZachLowy]

Wolves had the worst attack in the Prem last season, and they’ve since parted ways with two veteran strikers in Raul Jimenez and Diego Costa. A lot of pressure on Fabio Silva and Sasa Kaladzjic to step up at the CF position.

Think this will be a really tough season for them.
