-- Tim Howard saved one penalty kick by Junior Hoilett and saw another one by Mauro Formica hit the post before Spanish teammate Mikel Arteta scored a controversial stoppage-time penalty as Everton beat Blackburn Rovers, 1-0, in the English Premier League.

-- Sacha Kljestan was one of two Anderlecht players to have penalty kicks stopped by two different goalies in the 1-1 tie between Anderlecht and Club Brugge in Belgium's clasico. Colin Coosemans stopped Serbian Milan Jovanovic in the 5th minute, and after Coosemans was red carded for a foul on Brazilian Fernando Canesin in the 73rd minute, 17-year-old Sven Dhoest, making his first-team debut, came on and stopped Kljestan.
