Bundesliga news

Bayern Munich's unbeaten record in this season's Bundesliga is gone! The Bavarians were upset at the Allianz Arena by Augsburg, although the German champions are still eight points clear of Borussia Dortmund at the top of the table, meaning it's unlikely to adversely affect their chances of retaining their title. However, things are getting very interesting in England, where we thought Arsenal were almost home and hosed only to suffer a wobble that has made things very interesting, given Manchester City and Aston Villa are both closing in on the Gunners.

GOAL runs the rule over the British players earning a living away from their homeland, with plenty more stars deciding to leave their comfort zones in search of a better footballing life elsewhere. The Premier League is still obviously one of the world's most entertaining divisions and the Championship can prove fantastic for development, but there are more options out there.

Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to 13th-place Augsburg, their first league loss of the season and there was a spiteful sting in tail from their opponents, who took to social media to crow about their stunning victory. The victory narrowed Bayern’s lead at the top of the table as Harry Kane drew a rare blank, but was also in Augsburg media department’s targets.

Bayern Munich fell to a shock Bundesliga defeat on Saturday afternoon as they were beaten 2-1 by relegation-threatened Augsburg. Hiroki Ito had headed the German giants into a first-half lead, but Bayern were sloppy throughout the contest and fell behind after goals from Arthur Chaves and Han-Noah Massengo. Vincent Kompany's side could now see their lead at the top of table cut down if nearest challengers Borussia Dortmund beat Union Berlin.

Vincent Kompany has jokingly admitted that viral videos of his explosive dressing room tirades have left him on shaky ground as a parent, with his children having watched the X-rated clips on YouTube. The Bayern Munich boss revealed he has tried to tone down his language since moving to Germany, but warned his squad that he is still capable of losing his cool if he detects one specific attitude problem within the camp.

Jobe Bellingham endured a difficult night in north London on Tuesday as his Borussia Dortmund side were beaten 2-0 by Tottenham Hotspur. Cristian Romero's strike put Spurs ahead before Daniel Svensson was sent off for a challenge on Wilson Odobert after intervention from the video assistant referee, with Dominic Solanke's effort then putting the game beyond BVB. Bellingham, brother of Real Madrid and England star Jude, came in for brutal criticism on social media for a perceived below-par performance.

"We’ve known Jobe [Bellingham] for several years, and of course we have followed his progress very closely. He has taken another huge step forward in his development over the last year, and even at the age of 19 he has become a real leader," Borussia Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl said after Bellingham's £28 million ($37m) transfer from Sunderland in June. "His commanding presence in central midfield is remarkable, and he will improve our team in various systems."

While goals were hard to come by in the Premier League over the weekend, there were still plenty of intriguing narratives that emerged in England's top-flight, while elsewhere around Europe there was plenty of entertainment to be had ahead of the return of the Champions League this midweek.

Harry Kane has revealed that he was told by Vincent Kompany, during his first conversation with the Bayern Munich head coach, that he would become “merciless” in the Belgian’s philosophy of football.

Harry Kane has, as a complete forward that blends goal-scoring with ball-playing, been compared to Toni Kroos and Kevin De Bruyne by Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany.
