Muscular injuries for both Edinson Cavani and Kylian Mbappe took some of the gloss of Paris Saint-Germain's 4-0 win over Toulouse in their Ligue 1 match on Sunday.

Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting scored a second-half brace, including a sublime solo goal, as titleholders PSG bounced back from their 2-1 defeat against Rennes the week before.

Cameroon international Choupo-Moting, who came in for Cavani, danced through the Toulouse defence to break the deadlock in the 50th minute and an unlucky own goal by Matthieu Goncalves gifted PSG their second five minutes later.

Angel Di Maria saw a penalty saved by Baptiste Reynet before Choupo-Moting added the third in the 75th minute and Marquinhos completed the scoring.

Mbappe exited Parc des Princes on crutches and will undergo further tests, with PSG manager Thomas Tuchel telling Canal+ after the match that the injuries were "muscular."

With Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez watching from the stands, Antoine Griezmann came through for Barcelona by scoring twice to lead the Catalan club to its first Spanish league win of the season with a 5-2 rout of Real Betis on Sunday.

Griezmann celebrated his second goal by going near the Barcelona fans and throwing glitter into the air like NBA star LeBron James.

"I like LeBron's ritual and I tried to imitate him," Griezmann said. "I wanted to copy that. I bought the confetti on the Internet with my family."

The newly signed France forward had already scored the first goal for Barcelona after Betis opened the scoring at Camp Nou.

"I see Leo Messi score goals like that in training and I tried to copy him, " Griezmann said after the match.

Carles Perez, Jordi Alba and Arturo Vidal also scored for Barcelona. Nabil Fekir and Loren Moron scored for Betis.

Barcelona had lost 1-0 at Athletic Bilbao last weekend for its first opening league defeat in a decade.

Messi had already missed the opener because of a calf injury, while Suarez got hurt before halftime in Bilbao. Forward Ousmane Dembele also was out injured.

Griezmann, who joined from Atletico Madrid for €120 million in the offseason, had started at Barcelona with a lacklustre performance in the opener. But he took charge on Sunday, scoring his first goal after sliding to a cross from Sergi Roberto in the 41st minute.

Griezmann's second came in the 50th with a well-placed left-footed shot that curled into the far corner, just out of reach of Betis goalkeeper Dani Martín. Griezmann was handed glitter from someone who appeared to be a Barcelona staff member behind the goal, then threw it up in the air.

Forward Ansu Fati, 16, made his senior-team debut with Barcelona as a second-half substitute, becoming the second youngest to play with the club in the Spanish league.

"A lot was said after the loss in Bilbao. When you lose there has to be a big reaction," Griezmann said. "We had to work hard. We really wanted to play another game.

"When so many players are missing the team has to step up. And that was the case. I can't do these things on my own. We're a team and it's thanks to my teammates. The good thing is that if there are injuries, those that come into the team respond. You've seen that today."

Barcelona's Sergio Busquets was substituted in the 72nd with an apparent injury.

ESPN FC's Sam Marsden and the Associated Press contributed to this report.

Ansu Fati became the second-youngest player to feature for Barcelona in La Liga after being handed his debut in Sunday's 5-2 win over Real Betis.

With Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele all missing through injury, Ansu -- aged 16 years and 298 days-- was called up to the 18-man squad along with B team winger Carles Perez.

Ernesto Valverde named him as a substitute, with Perez starting in attack alongside Antoine Griezmann and Rafinha, before bringing him on in the second half when Barca were 5-1 up.

The Spanish champions went on to win the game with Griezmann scoring twice. Perez, Jordi Alba and Arturo Vidal were also on target.

"Ansu has a lot of qualities, he's quick and he uses the space well," Valverde said in a news conference after the game.

"I know he's really young. He's the youngest player I have ever given a debut to. But if we don't look at how old the other players in the squad are, we're not going to look at his age either. We look at what he can add and he's surprised us all."

After the game, Ansu, who flashed a shot narrowly wide during his cameo, remained on the pitch longer than his teammates as he took everything in.

"I was looking at my parents and my family [in the stands], all those people that have accompanied me to this point in my career," he explained to reporters.

"I stayed there on the pitch because I couldn't believe it. I wanted to enjoy that moment. The truth is that I was really nervous before, but I only have words of gratitude for everyone: the club, the manager, the supporters, who gave me a great reception."

Ansu -- who played for the U19s last season -- is younger than players like Messi and Bojan Krkic were when they made their top-flight debuts for the club, but is not the youngest player to ever turn out in the league for the Catalans.

Vicenc Martinez was 16 years and 278 days old when he made his first La Liga appearance for Barca in the 1941-42 season -- just 20 days younger than Ansu.

Following lengthy negotiations, Barcelona finally tied Ansu down to a new deal earlier this summer. The forward signed fresh terms to keep him at the club until 2022 with an option to extend the contract by an additional two years. A €100 million buyout clause was included in the contract.

Talks took longer than the club had initially expected, though, after an email made its way into the wrong hands when they were negotiating a new deal for another of the club's young stars, Ilaix Moriba.

The email, which detailed Ilaix's new deal, was sent to an employee at Espanyol instead of his agent. A source at Espanyol told ESPN FC the club were "gobsmacked" at the money on offer.

That, in turn, saw Ansu's representatives push for a better deal with Barca, especially given the interest in the youngster from some of Europe's biggest clubs.

Barcelona had always planned to give Ansu a new deal and a bumper pay rise. Along with Ilaix, he's one of the most highly-rated players currently in the academy.

The club have recently acknowledged a need to improve the terms being offered to their best young players having seen a number opt to leave for clubs like Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City and Monaco.

Ansu was born in Guinea-Bissau but moved to Catalonia at a young age and has been at the club since he was 10. He's progressed through the academy and is expected to spend this season with the B team in the Spanish third division.

Carlos Vela scored a goal in the 53rd minute and Los Angeles FC was able to salvage a 3-3 tie against the visiting Los Angeles Galaxy on Sunday night -- although the club remains winless in two seasons against its crosstown rival.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored two first-half goals for the Galaxy (13-11-3, 42 points), who moved into a fourth-place tie in the Western Conference with Minnesota United FC.

Western Conference-leader LAFC (19-3-5, 62 points), which also has the best record in MLS, is now 0-2-3 in El Trafico (the nickname given to the LAFC-Galaxy series).

LAFC's hopes of rallying from two goals down for the victory took a blow when Vela, a favorite for MLS MVP, had to exit in the 61st minute with a right hamstring injury.

Ibrahimovic continued to be nothing but trouble for LAFC, netting a first-half brace to give him eight of the Galaxy's 13 goals in the five meetings. He scored barely 100 seconds into the game when he took a pass from Cristian Pavon and delivered into the bottom left of the LAFC goal with his left foot.

LAFC's Latif Blessing also scored a pair of first-half goals, including his second one minute into first-half stoppage time when he cleaned up a loose ball in front of the Galaxy goal to make it 3-2. His first came in the 12th minute to tie the score 1-1.

Ibrahimovic came right back three minutes later to give the Galaxy a 2-1 advantage when he took a long pass from Favio Alvarez, moved past charging goalkeeper Tyler Miller and fired another left-footed shot for his 22nd of the season.

Pavon scored his first goal with the Galaxy in his fourth game with the club, dribbling through LAFC defender Walker Zimmerman and scoring into the bottom left corner of the goal past a diving Miller. Pavon's goal, to give the Galaxy a 3-1 lead, came 1:09 after Ibrahimovic scored.

Vela's league-leading 27th of the season came off a pass from Mark-Anthony Kaye to the right side of goal, scoring past sliding goalkeeper David Bingham.

Concern of the weekend

At the time, it was easy to ascribe the collapse in Tottenham's league form at the end of last season to the stresses of the Champions League: They took just 11 points from their last available 36 as Europe became their priority and monopolised their emotional and physical energy.

Now though, it's equally easy to think that run was the start of a more serious problem, and rather than being the cause of their listlesness, the run to the Champions League final simply masked their deficiencies. The 1-0 defeat to Newcastle on Sunday was Tottenham's third unconvincing performance of the season: In the first they eventually salvaged a win against Aston Villa, in the second they somehow escaped with a draw against Manchester City, but in the third they couldn't break down a team who had been battered by newly-promoted Norwich last week.

Was their sluggish football and sideways passing just a part of a slow start to the season? Or is there a greater malaise here? The fear is that despite the new arrivals over the summer, something has gone stale at Tottenham.

Good start (but no more) of the weekend

Hats off to Newcastle for their victory and Steve Bruce should be given due credit for a plan well executed. A couple of things to consider though: Steve Kean's Blackburn won a game at Old Trafford in 2011, so let's not think a win at a big ground makes a manager.

Also, Newcastle under Steve McClaren won at White Hart Lane in December 2015, but a week later dropped points against Aston Villa (who would finish stone bottom of the table) and would lose 11 of their last 14 games and get relegated anyway.

Critics of Bruce and his appointment might have to tone it down for a short spell, but they won't be persuaded until this sort of form is sustained.

Multi-faceted calamity of the weekend

Where to start with Manchester United's 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace on Saturday?

No, seriously, where should we start?

In the worst way possible, it had absolutely everything: Defensive errors from the new £80 million signing; a missed penalty in a week when all have been talking about their confused penalty-taker policy; muscle injuries to Luke Shaw and Anthony Martial after a summer when the emphasis in preseason training was placed on hard fitness work; a bench where the best attacking option was 17-year-old Mason Greenwood; equalising only to concede another minutes later; one of those increasingly frequent rare mistakes by David De Gea.

We've probably missed a few, possibly including the sense that Daniel James, a 21-year-old with one season in the Championship to his name, is now one of their key attackers, or that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer waited until the 85th minute to bring on Juan Mata.

And among all of that, there's the fact it's become incredibly easy to plan how to beat United: Their midfield and attack isn't creative enough to consistently break down a solid defence, and their defence isn't strong enough to hold off a decent counter-attack. Two of those did for United against Palace, as against Cardiff last season. It's all so simple.

Perfectionism seekers of the weekend

While Jurgen Klopp was rightfully delighted with Liverpool's performance against Arsenal, it was notable that he seemed furious when they conceded the late goal, and also that in his post-match comments he highlighted the 10-15 minutes when they were not in complete control of the game.

Such is the perfection that Klopp knows Liverpool need this season if they're to beat Manchester City to the Premier League title, or even just challenge them to any real degree.

But they weren't far away on Saturday. It was also notable that Klopp said he was surprised by the formation Unai Emery chose, but Liverpool swept the Gunners aside anyway. Which is the central problem with facing Liverpool: try to combat one problem and another appears. It's tactical whack-a-mole, and tricky to work out how to keep them all smacked down.

It felt pretty weak when Emery said Arsenal were making progress because they had done better at Anfield than last season, but it's a great compliment to Liverpool that one the six best sides in the country regards only losing 3-1 rather than 5-1 as a victory of sorts.

Liability of the weekend

David Luiz is not a bad defender: He's probably better than anything Arsenal had before and might be a decent enough stop-gap until William Saliba is ready. It's just there's a decent reason Chelsea happily waved him off in August.

Luiz was culpable for at least two of Liverpool's goals on Saturday, recklessly diving into a challenge on Mo Salah then needlessly pulling the same man's shirt for the penalty. The Brazilian has and will improve Arsenal's distribution from the back, but they will just have to live with the fact that these games will happen every now and then.

Silver lining of the weekend

On a more positive note for Arsenal, Joe Willock is turning out to be one of the unexpected success stories of their nascent season. Unai Emery's midfield diamond didn't really work, but then again not many things do against Liverpool, so given the tactical disadvantage and the opposition, Willock was terrific, smart and energetic, and an indication that not all of Arsenal's problems can or should be solved in the transfer market.

Goal, assist and celebration of the weekend

Busy old day at Bramall Lane on Saturday. "There are not too many players who can play that pass," said Brendan Rodgers after James Maddison produced a beautiful, outside of the foot through-ball for Jamie Vardy's opener in Leicester's 2-1 win over Sheffield United, a goal the Sheffield Wednesday fan celebrated with glee in front of some very irked Blades fans.

Leicester weren't done there. There's an England squad due in a few weeks, and it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see Harvey Barnes join Maddison in Gareth Southgate's thinking, particularly after the perfectly-struck rocket the young winger sent into the roof of the net to confirm the points. They might not be living up to the preseason hype yet, but this win on top of two solid draws suggests they're on the way.

Striker of the weekend

You can't help feeling delighted for Tammy Abraham, a striker who has been given his chance by Chelsea's circumstances, but also one who may well have been promoted above his current ability by them. His two goals against Norwich were nicely taken, and will earn him a little time as he tries to establish himself as Chelsea's No. 9.

Speculation explanation of the weekend

That's three defeats in three for Watford this season, against teams they only lost once in six games to last season, scoring only one goal in the process, having shipped six goals at home. They also ended last season with three losses.

Reports that Javi Gracia's job is under threat seem harsh, and probably are harsh, but this is why they're around. Suddenly next weekend's trip to Newcastle is massive.

Luckiest moment of the weekend

The capacity of footballers to look absolutely astonished whenever any decision goes against them knows no bounds, so in that respect it wasn't that surprising when Brighton's Florin Andone claimed innocence after jumping and sticking his studs just below Yan Valery's knee, bringing most of his bodyweight down on the Southampton man. He wasn't unlucky to be sent off, he was lucky not to snap Valery's leg in half.

VAR complaint of the weekend

Who knew that the biggest flaw in VAR -- or at least the way VAR is being implemented in England -- would be when it didn't get involved, as opposed to when it did? To pick just a couple of examples from the weekend (and there were more -- oh there were more), Manchester City and Tottenham were not awarded clear penalties even after they were checked, apparently because there wasn't enough evidence that they were clear and obvious mistakes, and thus the subjective decisions couldn't be corrected.

If these weren't clear and obvious, it's becoming evident that VAR is just someone drawing lines on a screen to decide infinitesimally marginal offside calls.

VAR is a mistake, a system that shouldn't have been brought in, but as it's here it should at least ensure as many on-field mistakes as possible are rectified. But if won't overturn these decisions, clear to virtually everyone, then it's pointless.

Unless things change, we've essentially got the worst of both worlds: the game has been fundamentally altered and changed as a live spectacle without actually making decisions more accurate. Well done everyone. Well done.

Managing the workload of their fast bowlers is going to be key for India to win the World Test Championship, India's captain Virat Kohli believes. After the win in Antigua Test, which made him India's most successful captain in overseas Tests, Kohli spoke of the importance of having his bowlers making maximum impact in Test matches.

One of those was Jasprit Bumrah, who sat out the limited-overs legs of the ongoing tour and came back to blow West Indies away in the second innings with a spell that read 8-4-7-5. He was not at his best in the first innings, which he put down to a slightly stiff back coming back into action after a long break, but in the second innings he was lethal, relying on the outswinger, which is not his stock delivery.

"That's probably the most important thing for us right now, managing player workloads," Kohli said at the post-match presentation. "That's why he (Bumrah) didn't play any white-ball cricket after the World Cup because we wanted him to be fresh for the Tests. He is going to be a key factor for us as long as the Test championship continues. We know how good a bowler he is. And the impact he can make in a spell."

Kohli said India had the required personnel in the pace department to be able to dominate but spoke of the need to monitor the workloads closely. "[Mohammed] Shami is the same [as Bumrah]," Kohli continued. "Ishant [Sharma] is a banker for years now. And he can make an impact in any spell he bowls. Those three together are bowling really well. Umesh [Yadav] hasn't had a game, and we have Navdeep Saini, who can bowl 150 clicks, waiting in the wings. We are pretty settled as far as our bowling options are concerned. Managing workloads and the number of overs we bowl is going to be a key factor for us."

Other than workloads, the team's selection of the XIs has come under scrutiny in the past. In this Test, too, they had to make two difficult decisions. They ended up leaving out R Ashwin and Rohit Sharma. Ashwin's exclusion left the experts, including Sunil Gavaskar, surprised. Kohli said the selections were being made in the team's best interests. While he went on to offer a reason for Hanuma Vihari's inclusion ahead of Rohit, he avoided speaking about leaving out Ashwin.

"The combination is absolutely based on players who can provide more than one skill," Kohli said. "That's why Vihari got the nod for this particular game because he can bowl you those eight-ten overs when you are falling behind the over rate. As a part-timer he is pretty effective as well.

"Look, for us it is about managing the best combination we can as a side, and feeling settled about it. We all have a discussion on that particular thing, and we go ahead with what is the best thing for the team. There will always be opinions on a team selected, but we all understand that whatever decisions are taken are in the best interest of the team."

To live with selection calls is definitely one of the challenges of captaincy, but it is a job that has brought Kohli a lot of satisfaction over the years. Going past Sourav Ganguly as the most successful India captain in away Tests is just one of them.

"It is a responsibility that I am fulfilling," Kohli said of captaincy. "It is a blessing that I am in a position where I can contribute to the team in more than one way. I like taking that responsibility but nothing is possible without the team. If these guys hadn't bowled or batted the way they have, we wouldn't have won the Tests we have. The credit can't be taken away from them at all because I am just making decisions on the field. Execution is in their hand. Always been a team game for us."

ATLANTA -- The crowd rushing to circle the 18th green. The steady chants. It all sounded so familiar to Rory McIlroy at East Lake, with one big difference.

On Sunday, it was all for him.

One year after he was an overlooked bystander as Tiger Woods celebrated the missing piece of his comeback by winning the Tour Championship, McIlroy surged past Brooks Koepka and delivered a clutch par putt when he needed it to win the FedEx Cup and the $15 million prize, the biggest payout in golf history.

"It's amazing how different things can be in a year," McIlroy said.

With two final birdies, McIlroy closed with a 4-under 66 to end a marathon day at the storm-delayed Tour Championship and finished four shots ahead of Xander Schauffele. He joined Woods as the only players to win the FedEx Cup twice since it began in 2007.

He smiled at hearing the chants "Rory! Rory! Rory!" from a gallery that came under the ropes on the 18th hole to watch the finish.

"I must say, I didn't enjoy that walk last year like everyone else did," McIlroy said. "I never took the fight to Tiger."

McIlroy had more than the $15 million prize on his mind.

He wanted to win this outright and was keeping score to the very end. The format was changed this year to give top players a head start based on par depending on their standing in the FedEx Cup. Justin Thomas was the No. 1 seed and started at 10 under par before a shot was hit. McIlroy was the No. 5 seed and started at 5 under.

He finished at 18 under in the FedEx Cup finale. His actual score was 13-under 267, better than anyone else in the 30-man field.

It will boost him to No. 2 in the world behind Koepka.

There also was a small matter of payback. McIlroy had a one-shot lead over Koepka in a World Golf Championships event last month in Tennessee but made only one birdie in the final round as Koepka blew past him to win.

They were in the final group Sunday at East Lake, and McIlroy got the best of the No. 1 player.

McIlroy thanked fans on Twitter after his victory.

Thank you to all the fans from around the world for your incredible support throughout the season especially those in Atlanta this week. It truly means so much to me. Now it's time to celebrate! ?? ? ? https://t.co/TChzWyr6uX

— Rory McIlroy (@McIlroyRory) August 26, 2019

The final round turned on the seventh hole with a three-shot swing -- McIlroy made a 25-foot birdie, while Koepka lost his tee shot in the trees and made double-bogey. There were consecutive two-shot swings on the back nine, and then it was a matter of holding off Schauffele.

McIlroy was four shots ahead until back-to-back bogeys, and he was on the verge of watching his lead shrink to one when he holed an 8-foot par putt on the 16th. Schauffele had to settle for pars, and McIlroy finished with a flourish.

He was the only player to break par all four days.

Schauffele closed with a 70 to finish alone in second, which paid out $5 million.

Thomas lost his way Sunday morning in the conclusion of the third round when he took triple-bogey on the 16th hole to fall four behind. He finished with two birdies and a 68 and tied for third with Koepka, who ended another big year with a pedestrian finish of 72.

They each earned $3.5 million.

Paul Casey shot 72 to finish fifth and earned $2.5 million.

What looked to be a shootout turned into a runaway for McIlroy.

The marathon final day -- 31 holes for McIlroy and contenders -- began with big promise for a wild chase for the $15 million prize. Four players took turns atop the leaderboard in the first 35 minutes of golf Sunday morning, which included Schauffele's first hole-in-one of his career with a 5-iron on the 240-yard ninth hole.

The third round had been suspended Saturday after lightning struck a tree and injured six spectators huddled nearby. Police said they were treated and released from medical attention later that night.

Koepka birdied the 18th for a one-shot lead over McIlroy and Schauffele. It was tight for the first hour of the final round, and then it turned quickly.

Koepka was still up by one shot when he yanked his tee shot into the trees left of No. 7 and never found it. He made double-bogey, and it became a three-shot swing when McIlroy made a 25-foot birdie putt.

McIlroy still had a one-shot lead when he stuffed a wedge to 3 feet for birdie on the 12th, and it became another two-shot swing when Koepka missed a 4-foot par putt. The next hole brought another two-shot swing -- Koepka three-putted from 18 feet, McIlroy made birdie from 12 feet.

Koepka ended the PGA Tour season with three victories, another major at the PGA Championship, a World Golf Championship and the undisputed No. 1 world ranking. He is the favorite to win PGA Tour Player of the Year again, though McIlroy at least gave players something to contemplate when they vote over the next few weeks.

The FedEx Cup counts as an official win, giving him three for the year. And he had 14 finishes in the top 10 out of 19 starts, the highest percentage of his career. Whether it's enough was of little consequence. McIlroy had the FedEx Cup and the biggest payout in golf.

"I'm going to enjoy this one tonight," he said.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- James Blackman was the front-runner all along and now the quarterback has won Florida State's starting job.

Coach Willie Taggart made the announcement on Sunday night in a statement posted on the school's website. Blackman beat out Wisconsin graduate transfer Alex Hornibrook and Louisville transfer Jordan Travis. The redshirt sophomore will start for the Seminoles when they open the season against Boise State on Saturday in Jacksonville.

It's not clear if Hornibrook or Travis will be FSU's backup. Taggart's next opportunity to meet with the media is on Monday.

Blackman has started 13 games, including 12 as a true freshman in 2017. He has thrown for 2,740 yards, 24 touchdowns and 12 interceptions at FSU.

In his only 2018 start, Blackman threw for 421 yards, four touchdowns and an interception in a road loss to NC State. Blackman became the immediate odds-on favorite this winter when Taggart dismissed Deondre Francois, who started 11 games last fall.

Blackman feels he has a strong grasp of what new offensive coordinator Kendal Briles wants to run. Even though Blackman has had three offensive coordinators and varied schemes in his short career, he told reporters during preseason camp that he has an understanding of "what to do and when to do it and how to do it" when it comes to Briles' high-tempo spread offense.

And he's learning the scheme without a playbook -- in fact, everyone is.

It's a new wrinkle for Florida State in 2019, something Taggart has embraced -- and so have the players.

"It's a great thing not having a playbook because you have to go and make sure you write up the plays by yourself," Blackman said. "And go study by yourself and make your own playbook. Guys are really putting in the work to learn and understand your job."
