Top 10 Games Outside EPL, Oct 21-23

Last week's Top 10 Matches outside the EPL pointed notice to Rome's Eternal Derby between SS Lazio and AS Roma among its tasty offerings. The Eagles secured a last gasp victory courtesy of former Bayern Munich striker Miroslav Klose, leaving the Wolves fans disappointed.
