England internationals were in fine form for their clubs across Europe over the past week, contributing goals, assists and important performances.
Harry Kane continued his prolific scoring for Bayern Munich. He netted a brace, including a penalty, in a 3-3 Champions League draw with Viking on 13 October. The striker then followed up with a goal and two assists in a 6-1 Bundesliga demolition of RB Leipzig just four days later.
In Spain, Jude Bellingham was instrumental for Real Madrid. He played the full 90 minutes in a 3-4 Champions League victory over AS Roma on 14 October. The midfielder then provided an assist before being substituted in a 4-1 La Liga win against Sevilla on 18 October.
Arsenal trio impress
Arsenal's English contingent enjoyed a successful week. Eberechi Eze opened the scoring in a commanding 3-0 Champions League win over Lille on 13 October. Bukayo Saka came off the bench in that match to score and provide an assist. Both players then featured in a narrow 1-0 Premier League victory at Nottingham Forest, where Declan Rice set up the winner.
Other Premier League-based players had mixed fortunes. Everton's Jordan Pickford, Jarrad Branthwaite and James Garner all played 90 minutes in a 2-0 defeat at Chelsea, where Morgan Rogers featured for the winning side.
Domestic action
In the Championship, Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored for Leeds United in a 1-1 draw with Manchester United, with James Trafford in goal. Lewis Hall played two full matches for Newcastle United, who suffered defeats to Coventry City and Aston Villa. Anthony Gordon scored for Barcelona in a 4-1 Champions League win over Galatasaray before appearing off the bench in a La Liga victory.
The club form is encouraging for an England side building momentum. The next test is a home match against Croatia on 12 November. Croatia currently sit second in the group standings, making it a key encounter.
