Bayern Munich thrash RB Leipzig

Image
Bayern Munich 6 - 0 RB Leipzig Harry Kane began the new Bundesliga season in devastating fashion, scoring a hat-trick as Bayern Munich swept aside RB Leipzig in a commanding display. Author | Ed Stadium | Allianz Arena It was Michael Olise who opened the scoring after 27 minutes, lashing a fierce strike into the far corner after a loose ball fell his way. Serge Gnabry , outstanding throughout, was central to Bayern’s second five minutes later, threading a pass for Luis DĂ­az to hammer in off the underside of the bar for his first Bundesliga goal since arriving from Liverpool . Just before half-time, Gnabry again tormented Leipzig , feinting to shoot before slipping the ball to Olise, who powered home his second. Kane then took over after the interval, beginning with a neat finish from a counter-attack on 64 minutes.

Both Chelsea and West Ham look to get first win of the season

Image
West Ham v Chelsea Preview Chelsea are strong favourites among the experts to get three points  Author | James P Stadium | London Stadium  West Ham’s Premier League campaign got off to a disastrous start last weekend, with Graham Potter’s side suffering a 3-0 defeat at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light. Potter faces mounting pressure after failing to inspire the fanbase following his arrival midway through last season, and expectations were higher after a full preseason. Last week’s display suggested little progress, and with West Ham having won only one of their final eight home league games last term, patience is likely to be in short supply unless results improve quickly. Chelsea present a difficult challenge, having won each of the last three encounters and with Potter yet to defeat his former club in seven managerial meetings. Chelsea need to prove they're more than just hype While the Blues won at the London Stadium last season, they have managed only three victories...

Dramatic first-leg between Shelbourne and Linfield

Image
Shelbourne 3 - 1 Linfield Shelbourne take a two-goal lead into the second leg of their Uefa Conference League play-off after a pulsating over 10-man Linfield. Author | Liam Philips Stadium |  Tolka Park The Dublin contest delivered drama throughout, with four goals, three penalties and a red card. Harry Wood put the hosts ahead from the spot just before half-time, moments after Linfield had been reduced to 10 men.  Less than a minute into the second half Mipo Odubeko extended the advantage, making amends after missing a first-half penalty when the match was still goalless. Kieran Offord gave the visitors hope with a well-taken finish after the break but later missed a chance to draw level from the penalty spot. Evan Caffrey stepped off the bench to seal the win for Shels , finishing from close range 13 minutes from time.

Substitutes help revive Aberdeen’s Europa League hopes

Image
Aberdeen 2 - 2 FCSB Dante Polvara and Ester Sokler came off the bench to breathe life into Aberdeen’s Europa League ambitions, rescuing a draw against 10-man FCSB after trailing by two goals. Author | Mark Lee Stadium | Pittodrie Pre match atmosphere Defensive errors threatened to undo the Scottish Cup winners in the play-off first leg at Pittodrie, even after the Romanian champions were reduced to 10 men for almost an hour. Jack Milne and Gavin Molloy collided under a high ball, allowing Daniel Birligea to break the deadlock while both sides were still at full strength. Just after the interval, Molloy and substitute Mats Knoester failed to clear their lines and Birligea capitalised again, squaring for Darius Olaru to double the lead. That lapse undermined the advantage Aberdeen might have gained from Juri Cisotti ’s dismissal shortly before half-time for a rash challenge on Nicolas Milanovic .

Crystal Palace start their European adventure with a win

Image
Crystal Palace 1 -  0 Fredrikstad Jean-Philippe Mateta delivered Crystal Palace’s first goal in European competition as they opened their Conference League campaign with a win over Fredrikstad. Author | James Lees Stadium | Selhurst Park The French forward settled a contest that mixed dominance with frustration for Palace, heading inside the far post after Will Hughes ’s deflected strike dropped kindly in the area. Eberechi Eze, the match-winner in last season’s FA Cup final , was absent with his move to Arsenal expected to be completed in the coming days. Without him, Palace controlled possession but often found themselves thwarted by Fredrikstad ’s deep defensive line, which forced them into long-range efforts and attacks from the flanks. Palace still carved out chances to extend their lead, with Mateta striking the post in the first half and Daniel Muñoz heading against the woodwork after the break. The Norwegian visitors offered fleeting reminders of their counter-at...
