DBasia.news – The match in Europe’s top leagues continues. Chelsea lost in the continuing Premier League match, while RB Leipzig kept their position at the top of the standings.
Leipzig hosted Union Berlin at the Red Bull Arena. The Bundesliga promotion team did not move at the Leipzig headquarters and lost 1-3 to two of Timo Werner’s goals (51 ‘and 83’) plus a goal from Marcel Sabitzer (57 ‘). While Union Berlin’s only goal was scored by Marius Bulter (10 ‘).
Thanks to that victory Leipzig kept the reins of the standings with 40 points from 18 Bundesliga matches that have taken place. Following Leipzig were Borussia Monchengladbach (35 points), Bayern Munich (33 points, only played 17 times), and Borussia Dortmund (33 points).
Meanwhile in England in the Premier League, Chelsea swallowed a defeat at St James Park, the headquarters of Newcastle United. The defeat was said to be bitter as the Magpies’ goal – nickname of Newcastle United – really happened before the game ended.
The game was tough and the 0-0 score lasted until the 90th minute. When both teams seemed to have resigned from the position, Isaac Hayden scored a dramatic goal for Newcastle in the 90th minute +4.
Hayden headed the ball, ahead of Antonio Rudiger and Kepa Arrizabalaga, when receiving a ball from Allan Saint-Maximin. The goal could not be returned by Chelsea as the time was over and it was difficult to do so with one minute remaining of extra time.
The results have put Newcastle in 12th place. While Chelsea is ranked fourth with 39 points. The result also ended the Blues’ four undefeated games in all previous competitions.
