Coach Ralph Hasenhüttl managed a surprise with his club Southampton in the English Premier League. The “Saints” fought 0-0 away against Manchester City on Saturday. Liverpool celebrated a 3-0 home win against Crystal Palace, while at Watford’s 3-1 win against Norwich, ÖFB goalie Daniel Bachmann had to take a break.
The fact that no goals were scored in Manchester was also due to the Video Assistant Referee (VAR). In Manchester, referee Jon Moss City defender Walker initially showed red after an alleged foul (61st) and awarded the Saints a penalty. After video evidence, he then reversed the decision.
Shortly before the end of the game, a header from Phil Foden was not given due to video evidence due to an offside position. Three days after the 6-3 win against RB Leipzig in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League, ManCity only managed one shot on the opposing goal, the last time it was in the league more than four years ago.
For the time being, Liverpool took the lead after a 3-0 win against Crystal Palace – Sadio Mane (43rd), Mohamed Salah (78th) and Naby Keita (89th) scored. Arsenal scored their second success in a row with a 1-0 win at Burnley. Martin Odegaard scored the gold goal in minute 30.
Bachmann has to take a break
Watford prevailed 3: 1 at the pointless bottom group Norwich. ÖFB team goalkeeper Daniel Bachmann was missing from the winners due to a minor tear in the collateral ligament in his knee the previous week. Bachmann took part in team training from Thursday, but a fitness test on match day showed that a residual risk would remain. In consultation with Watford’s medical department, the Lower Austrian decided to take a short break in order not to accept the worsening of the wound.
“The injury is under control, but with an unfortunate move I should have expected to be out for a long time,” confirmed the ÖFB-Internationale, who was represented in Norwich by Ben Foster. Bachmann should return to the Watford starting XI next Saturday against Newcastle.
