EURO ROUND-UP

-

In the Bundesliga, Dani Olmo’s solitary strike with 14 minutes remaining at the Mercedes-benz Stadium was enough to propel RB LEIPZIG one point clear at the top of the Bundesliga.

Hosts VFB STUTTGART kept things tight for most of the game, but eventually succumbed to the pressure.

BAYER LEVERKUSEN slipped to third place after going down 2-1 at EINTRACHT FRANKFURT.

It all started well for Leverkusen at the Deutsche Bank Park as they took the lead after just nine minutes through Nadiem Amri.

However, by 22 minutes, it was all square thanks to Amin Younes’ leveller. The home side’s winner was a disaster for visiting defender Edmon Tapsoba, who turned the ball into his own net on 54 minutes.

■ In La Liga, it was the perfect start to the game for hosts REAL MADRID against CELTA VIGO as they took lead inside 10 minutes, with Lucas Vazquez heading in a cross from close range.

On 54 minutes, slack play by the visitors allowed Luka Modric to quickly find Casemiro, and he squared for Marco Asensio (pictured) to sidefoot home for his first of the season, a 2-0 victory and a winning start to 2021 for Zinedine Zidane’s side.

Real sit top by one point, ahead of ATLETICO MADRID, who have three games in hand.

■ At the Jose Alvalade Stadium, SPORTING LISBON extended their lead at the top of Portugal’s Primeira Liga to four points with a 2-0 home victory over fourthplac­ed SPORTING BRAGA.

■ PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN last night confirmed former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino as their new manager.

The Argentinia­n succeeds Thomas Tuchel, who was sacked by the Ligue 1 side in December, despite leading the club to the French title and the Champions League final last season.
