Third consecutive home bankruptcy for Arsenal +++ Napoli honors Maradona and dismantles Roma
Bundesliga
Leverkusen – Hertha BSC 0: 0
Bayer Leverkusen and Hertha Berlin parted goalless in Sunday’s quiet first game of the Bundesliga.
Four days before the Europa League group stage game in Nice, Leverkusen were at a disadvantage. Overall, coach Peter Bosz was missing nine potential starting candidates. Because Lucas Alario, Karim Bellarabi and Nadiem Amiri were canceled on short notice, only four outfield players were left on Leverkusen’s bench.
Tying after five victories, Leverkusen failed to jump to second place, but moved one point ahead of Borussia Dortmund, who suffered their third loss to Cologne on Saturday. The Berliners, who started the season with great ambitions, remain stuck in the bottom third of the table.
Mainz – Hoffenheim 1: 1
Sunday’s second Bundesliga game also ended without a winner. Mainz, who achieved their first win of the season in Freiburg last week, was denied a second full success, not least due to a shot from Jean-Philippe Mateta a quarter of an hour before the end.

Until Dennis Geiger was sent off after 80 minutes, Hoffenheim was mostly oppressive in the second half. From a Swiss point of view, it was encouraging that Edimilson Fernandes was part of Mainz’s starting lineup for the second time in a row after problems at the start of the season.

Premier league
Southampton – Manchester United 2: 3
Manchester United beat surprising Southampton 3-2 thanks to an outstanding second half in the Premier League. Edinson Cavani was the winner of the match with two goals and one assist.
The 33-year-old Uruguayan, who happened to be England’s record champion this season, has only played sparingly so far. At Southampton, the veteran proved his worth after being substituted at half-time when the score was 2-0.

A league
Milan – Fiorentina 2: 0
Milan are successful even without injured top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The Serie A leaders came in the ninth round to a 2-0 home win over Fiorentina and thus extended their lead over the first rival to five points.
With Sassuolo losing to Inter Milan in Saturday’s game, only Juventus Turin and AC Milan are undefeated in the current championship. But the Milanese have an even more impressive series. Along with Atlético de Madrid, they are the only team in the top 5 leagues to remain undefeated since resuming after Corona’s lockdown in March. Against Fiorentina, Milan scored goals in the first half hour through Alessio Romagnoli and Franck Kessie, who used a penalty and missed a second before the break.
Ibrahimovic, who has already scored ten goals this season, should be back at Sampdoria Genoa next weekend. So Milan can improve on a club record from the 1970s with a 30th game with at least one goal.
