Guirassy leads Dortmund to a 3-0 win over Union Berlin in Bundesliga

DORTMUND, Germany: Serhou Guirassy scored twice as Borussia Dortmund beat Union Berlin 3-0 for its first Bundesliga win of the season on Sunday. Guirassy finished off a cross from Yan Couto before the break, then the Guinea star beat Union ‘keeper Frederik Rönnow with a delicate chip before the hour-mark. Felix Nmecha made it 3-0 in the 81st. Jobe Bellingham needed treatment early on after a clash of heads with Union’s Andrej Ilić but the English teenager was able to play till the 70th. Argentine defender Aaron Anselmino started for his Dortmund debut following his arrival on loan from Chelsea on Wednesday. Dortmund drew its league-opening game 3-3 at St. Pauli last weekend, when Guirassy also scored.

Szoboszlai stunner secures Liverpool win over Arsenal in early-season clash of heavyweights

Full time was approaching at Anfield and it was clear something special was needed to separate Liverpool and Arsenal as they slugged out an early-season heavyweight contest in the Premier League on Sunday. Enter Dominik Szoboszlai. With a long-range free kick that flew in off the post in the 83rd minute, Szoboszlai earned Liverpool a hard-fought 1-0 win over the opponent likely to be the biggest challenger to its title. “The game needed a moment of magic for either team to win it,” Liverpool manager Arne Slot said, “and it was Dominik who did so.” Many thought Manchester City would be back in the title race this season, but perhaps not. Collapsing to a 2-1 loss at Brighton, for a second straight loss, was another sign that Pep Guardiola’s once-dominant team has lost its aura. “This is the reality — we are not at the level from a long time (ago),” City midfielder Rodri said. Trent who? Szoboszlai is popular among Liverpool fans for his work ethic and versatility, and the Hungary midfielder was filling in at right back — for so long the position of the now-departed Trent Alexander-Arnold — because of injuries to Conor Bradley and Jeremie Frimpong. Szoboszlai did his best impression of Alexander-Arnold with a top-quality dead-ball strike that was out of keeping with the rest of the game. “Until now Trent was taking them,” Szoboszlai said of his former teammate who now plays for Real Madrid. “Now I could finally take one.” It secured a third straight win for Liverpool, with the defending champions the only team on a maximum nine points after three rounds of the Premier League.

Brighton beat City as Hammers ease pressure on Graham Potter

LONDON: Manchester City blew the lead in a shock 2-1 defeat at Brighton that extended their troubled start to the Premier League season, while Liverpool braced for their blockbuster clash with title rivals Arsenal on Sunday. City striker Erling Haaland marked his 100th Premier League appearance with his 88th goal in the competition since joining from Borussia Dortmund in 2022. But the 25-year-old’s third goal this season wasn’t enough to help Pep Guardiola’s side bounce back from last weekend’s 2-0 home defeat against Tottenham. James Milner’s second half penalty hauled Brighton level before Brajan Gruda’s late strike completed City’s collapse. “We concede the goal and after that it shifted. Until then it was really good, we had chances and the team looked aggressive and dynamic,” Guardiola said. “We made a good hour and then after the last half an hour we were not good.
