A calm afternoon was expected at Signal Iduna Park. Borussia Dortmund fans enjoyed a comfortable win against Werder Bremen thanks to goals from Julian Brandt before half-time and Raphael Guerreiro in the second half. That momentary result provisionally placed leaders of the Bundesliga to those of Edin Terzic, with a full victories in three days. However, everything went to waste in a few disastrous last minutes.
When he is still recovering from the departure of Erling Haaland and the health problem of Sebastien Haller (his replacement), the Borusser stands suffered another setback that is embarrassing. And it is that Dortmund won 2-0 in the 88th minute and ended up undoing like a sugar cube to end up losing a duel that already had the bag.
That they had assumed the victory was noted in Buchanan's goal with one minute left for the regulation ninety. The lack of tension when defending the play was evident with the left-back's uncontested shot. It was then when the tremors in the legs arrived before the push of the visitors. Schmidt, with a header (90 3), and Burke, finishing a counterattack (90 5), uncovered the embarrassment of a team accustomed to defensive gaps.
That victory will allow Bayern Munich to become the sole leader if they beat Bochum on Sunday. At the moment, the top of the table is shared, with seven points, by Borussia Mönchengladbach, Union Berlin and Mainz 05. All three achieved victory this day, against Hertha Berlin (1-0), RB Leipzig (2 -1) and Augbsburg (1-2) respectively.

It would not have surprised anyone if the Dortmund disaster had been signed by Arsenal. But this season Arsenal has set out to be a new Arsenal, as evidenced by the thrashing at Bournemouth (0-3) and adding nine points out of a possible nine. Martin Odegaard's brace in the first eleven minutes and that of French central defender William Saliba after the break gave Arteta's team a shot. It had been 17 years since the Gunners had such a promising start.
In the other duel in which one of the favorites to be on top participated, Harry Kane's Tottenham beat Wolverhampton by the minimum (1-0). The English striker returned to the rescue with the only goal of the afternoon, historic as it was Spurs' thousandth goal in the Premier League and for becoming the league's top scorer for a single club (185).

Lukaku's return to Inter Milan allows him to once again enjoy the connection with Lautaro Martínez, a key duo in the Scudetto for the 2020/21 season. This Saturday they understood each other again in the victory against Spezia (3-0). The connection between the Belgian and the Argentine was the first goal of the afternoon at the Giuseppe Meazza. Çalhanoglu and Correa, in the second half, closed the scoring.
