Football: Liverpool have remained unbeaten in the Champions League with a 2-0 win over Bologna.
Reds remain perfect in Champions League | 00:48A 27th minute Darwin Nunez header took Liverpool to a controlled 1-0 win at RB Leipzig in the Champions League on Wednesday, continuing their excellent start under new coach Arne Slot.
Slot has won 11 of his first 12 games in charge in all competitions, the best start of any manager in Liverpool history, while Leipzig are now zero from three in Europe this season. Rose’s constellation worked early, with Leipzig pressing Liverpool hard and hitting them on the counter. Nunez went inches from doubling up shortly after but his point blank header was well saved by Peter Gulacsi.
The Norwegian scored twice, including a backheel at shoulder height, as City ran riot against the Czech champions. But there were encouraging signs for Guardiola as, restored to the starting line-up, the England international drilled home the opening goal after just three minutes. Stones nodded in a vital stoppage time winner against Wolves in the Premier League on Sunday and continued his hot streak in front of goal with a looping header from Nunes’ cross.
The Catalans had lost their last six games against Bayern but outplayed the six-time winners at the Olympic stadium with Robert Lewandowski also on the scoresheet, while England star Harry Kane struck for the visitors. Barcelona had not scored in their last four matches against Bayern but were ahead inside one minute, with Lopez playing Raphinha in behind the visitors’ high line.
Bayern kept pouring forward and Kane found the net once more after 18 minutes, and this time it counted.
