Doekhi double ends Bayern's winning run in Berlin draw

Munich's 16-match winning streak across all competitions came to an end as Union Berlin held the defending champions to a thrilling 2-2 draw at home in the Bundesliga on Saturday, reported Xinhua. Union began with high intensity, pressing Bayern deep and forcing errors from the visitors. Ilyas Ansah thought he had given the hosts an early lead, but his header was ruled out for a marginal offside after a VAR review. The breakthrough came in the 27th minute when captain Danilho Doekhi fired home from a corner after goalkeeper Manuel Neuer failed to hold the ball cleanly. Bayern netted an equalizer through Luis Diaz in the 38th minute, when the Colombian winger kept a difficult pass in play and curled a stunning strike from a tight angle past goalkeeper Frederik Ronnow. After the break, Bayern coach Vincent Kompany brought on Lennart Karl for Serge Gnabry, but Union remained dangerous from set pieces and Doekhi struck his second of the match from close range in the 83rd minute to restore the lead. Bayern substitute Tom Bischof sent in a perfect cross for Harry Kane, who powered home a header deep into stoppage time to salvage a point and extend Bayern's unbeaten league run. "The first 30 minutes were not enough from us. Union did a lot of right things and showed their strength on set pieces. We must fight until the end in every game," Kompany said after the match. Bayern stays top with 28 points from 10 matches, six ahead of second-placed RB Leipzig. Union ranks 10th with 12 points. Elsewhere, Leipzig suffered its first loss since the opening day, falling 3-1 at Hoffenheim, who celebrated a fourth straight league victory. Third-placed Dortmund was held to a 1-1 draw at Hamburg, conceding deep into stoppage time. Bayer Leverkusen recorded a 6-0 rout of Heidenheim, while Monchengladbach beat Cologne 3-1. Bremen notched a dramatic 2-1 comeback win over Wolfsburg on Friday.

Sunderland end Arsenal's winning run in Premier League

Sunderland end Arsenal's winning run in Premier League

Brian Brobbey scored a goal deep into injury time as Sunderland held Arsenal to a 2-2 draw in the Premier League on Saturday, ending the latter's 10-match winning run, reported Xinhua. Daniel Ballard fired Sunderland ahead with a rising shot in the 36th minute after a well-worked free kick to end Arsenal's 812-minute run without conceding a goal. Bukayo Saka made it 1-1 in the 54th minute after Declan Rice won the ball in midfield, and Leandro Trossard put the league leader in front in the 74th minute when he cut inside to score with a powerful shot. Sunderland saved a point in the 94th minute when Brobbey got on the end of a knock-down after a long ball from defense, and it is the first time Arsenal has conceded twice in a game this season. Second-half goals from Malo Gusto, Joao Pedro and Pedro Neto helped Chelsea to a 3-0 win at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers, who traveled to Stamford Bridge bottom of the table without a win all season and without a coach after Vitor Pereira was sacked last weekend. Tottenham and Manchester United took a point each after a 2-2 draw, which had a dramatic finish with two goals in injury time. A dull first half was lit up when Bryan Mbeumo headed Manchester United in front after 32 minutes, and Tottenham equalized with six minutes remaining through Mathys Tel. Richarlison put Tottenham in front in a repeat of last season's UEFA Europa League final in the first minute of injury time, but Matthijs de Ligt saved a point for the visitors when he finished from a deep corner in the dying seconds. Goals from Idrissa Gueye and Michael Keane gave Everton three vital points with a 2-0 home win over Fulham. Everton had the ball in the Fulham goal five times, but three were ruled out for different reasons. West Ham won 3-2 at home to Burnley to claim back-to-back wins under coach Nuno Espirito Santo, with Callum Wilson canceling out Zian Flemming's 35th-minute opener for Burnley. Tomas Soucek and Kyle Walker-Peters scored after 77 and 87 minutes to give West Ham a two-goal lead, and Josh Cullen's 97th-minute strike for Burnley was too late for his side to press for an equalizer.
