Arsenal late show denies Man City, Villa still winless
LONDON: Gabriel Martinelli’s 93rd minute equalizer saved Arsenal’s Premier League title bid from a damaging defeat to Manchester City, while Aston Villa remain winless after a limp 1-1 draw at 10-man Sunderland. The Gunners were heading to a second defeat in five Premier League games due to Erling Haaland’s early strike on the counter-attack for City. Martinelli came off the bench to score for the second time in a week to salvage a 1-1 draw, but both sides lost more ground to Premier League leaders Liverpool. Arsenal went second, five points behind the champions, while City are eight points off the top in ninth. “Very disappointed not to win,” said Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta said.
Burke hits Bundesliga hat trick as Union Berlin beats Eintracht Frankfurt 4-3, Dortmund wins
BERLIN: Scottish forward Oliver Burke scored a Bundesliga hat trick as Union Berlin delivered a master class in counterattacking soccer before holding on to defeat Eintracht Frankfurt 4-3 away on Sunday. The 20-year-old Ilyas Ansah also starred, capitalizing on a mix-up in the Frankfurt defense to open the scoring in the ninth minute. Ansah was involved again before Serbian forward Andrej Ilić sent Burke through for his first goal in the 32nd. Nathaniel Brown pulled one back before the break but Frankfurt’s hopes of an equalizer were dented when Ansah got up after a foul and eluded two defenders before playing the ball out to Ilić, who crossed for Burke to make it 3-1 in the 53rd. Ilić also set up the next goal three minutes for his fourth assist. Burke finished with a delicate chip over Kaua Santos in the Frankfurt goal. One young Frankfurt fan cried in disappointment. But Can Uzun pulled one back in the 80th and Frankfurt got a penalty when Jonathan Burkardt went down spectacularly.
