Harry Kane smashes record for fastest to 100 Bundesliga goals in 98th game

Striker’s double helps Bayern Munich beat Union Berlin 7-0 Dieter Müller’s record of 129 games had stood since 1977 Harry Kane broke the 49-year-old record for the fastest player to score 100 Bundesliga goals in Bayern Munich’s 7-0 victory on Friday over Union Berlin, his 98th league game for the club. Cologne’s Dieter Müller set the previous mark in 1977, but it took him 129 matches and with the England captain scoring at better than a goal a game Kane setting the record had been inevitable for some time.

Brentford blitz Chelsea as Fábio Carvalho caps stunning second-half display

Those early-season thoughts that Chelsea might be the team best-placed to challenge Arsenal are beginning to look extremely over-optimistic. The two chaotic wins with which they began were always difficult to read: they might have been useful points picked up on the way to a more solid structure, or they might have represented evidence of significant problems. After three games without a win, and 12 goals conceded in five games this season, it’s beginning to look like the latter. At the final whistle, Keith Andrews tipped his head back and roared at the sky, celebrating Brentford’s first home win over Chelsea since 1938. They remain unbeaten, coherent and disciplined, and moved up to third in the table. The comparison is impossible not to draw: as one side flail in an orgy of structured spending, their far less wealthy neighbours thrive with a clear plan and sense of direction. “It was a performance I felt was bubbling,” said Andrews. “I could see it in the players’ eyes over the last two days. They were very focused, very determined.” Continue reading...

Manchester City scramble to dramatic WSL win over Liverpool with two goals in added time

Manchester City continued their winning start to the new Women’s Super League season but the defending champions needed a 90th-minute own goal from Grace Fisk to help them edge past an ever-improving Liverpool side after an entertaining game in which Lauren Hemp scored twice. Fisk inadvertently turned Grace Clinton’s dangerous cross into her own net to put City 3-2 up and then – with Liverpool searching for an equaliser and committing players forward deep in stoppage time – Hemp added another on the counterattack to make it 4-2 and widen the margin of victory, but that slightly masked how well the visitors had played.

Trent Alexander-Arnold recalled by England but with a warning from Thomas Tuchel
