Key updates to keep you informed
08:00 CET – Before we get stuck into the day’s games, here’s a short wrap of what happened on Friday:
There were three matches across Europe’s ‘top five’ leagues to enjoy yesterday evening as domestic football returned, and all involved dramatic endings. Starting in the Bundesliga, table-toppers Dortmund were looking to make it five wins from five and looked assured of doing so when they led Werder Bremen 2-0 with just minutes to go…
However, Bremen mustered two goals in the last few minutes. Niclas Fullkrug haunted his former employers with a 92nd-minute equaliser to make it 2-2 and end Dortmund’s perfect start to the campaign.
Over in France, high-flying Lyon were still unbeaten in Ligue 1 when they visited Lens, but left with that record in tatters as Les Sang et Or hung on to win 2-1 despite losing a man to a red card late on and conceding at the death.
Lastly, in LaLiga, Malaga also scored late, with a 93rd-minute Adrian Nino goal earning the Andalusians a 1-1 draw at home against Espanyol. They’ll be happy to have avoided defeat, but the promoted side are still yet to win this season.
Elsewhere in Europe, Dutch champions PSV hit the ground running after the extended break with a 2-0 win over Heereveen.
