European roundup: Dortmund and Bayern drop points in Bundesliga drama

Borussia Dortmund conceded a stoppage-time equaliser from Silas Katompa Mvumpa to draw 3-3 at 10-man Stuttgart on Saturday and missed the chance to go joint top of the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich.

Hoffenheim thought their joy had been
