African stars once again took centre stage across these three major European leagues, with the likes of Thomas Partey, Kevin-Prince Boateng and Mohamed Salah representing the continent with pride.

In Serie A, Ghanaian Kevin-Prince Boateng showed the value he will bring to Fiorentina by scoring a fine goal in their thrilling 3-4 loss at home to Kalidou Koulibaly’s Napoli, and an Udinese side featuring Nigerian William Troost-Ekong and Seko Fofana secured an upset 1-0 win over Milan.

Mali’s Moussa Djenepo scored a fine goal to inspire Southampton to a 2-0 win over South Coast rivals Brighton & Hove Albion,

Egyptian forward Salah notably netted two goals as Liverpool kept up their perfect start to the Premier League season with a 3-1 home win over Arsenal on Saturday night – and the Reds’ opening goal was scored by Cameroonian defender Joel Matip.
