City tops 10-man United
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 03 - 11 - 2014

LONDON — Manchester United's belated resistance proved in vain when it was beaten 1-0 away to Premier League champion Manchester City in Louis van Gaal's first derby as manager.
The clubs' 151st league meeting was decided by a goal from Argentina's Sergio Aguero in the 63rd minute after United center half Chris Smalling had been sent off in the first half for two yellow cards.
The result left United in ninth place, with 13 points from 10 games and no away wins.
City, meanwhile, returned to within six points of leader Chelsea, two behind second-placed Southampton.
In the other match of the day, Aston Villa scored its first goal in more than nine hours but then had Christian Benteke sent off and allowed Tottenham Hotspur to come back for a 2-1 win at Villa Park.
That moved Spurs up into eighth place, and left Villa 15th, two points above the relegation places.
Celta Vigo shocks Barcelona
Luis Suarez's home debut with Barcelona was spoiled by Celta Vigo as Joaquin Larrivey scored in the second half to deal the hosts a 1-0 loss that let Real Madrid take the overnight lead of the Spanish league Saturday.
Ronaldo put Madrid at the top of the standings, two points ahead of Barcelona, by scoring for a 12 straight game before setting up a second goal in a commanding 4-0 win at Granada. Atletico climbed into second place, one point behind Madrid, after Antoine Griezmann scored his first two goals in league play this season to fuel a 4-2 win over visitor Cordoba. Sevilla is two points behind Madrid.
Sampdoria moves to 3rd
Sampdoria moved back into third place with a hard-fought 3-1 win at home to Fiorentina as the visiting side missed a penalty, while Udinese lost 4-2 to Genoa in Serie A Sunday. Sassuolo was held to a goalless draw at bottom club Chievo Verona and Atalanta also drew 0-0 at Torino.
Defending champion Juventus took advantage of Roma's loss at Napoli to move three points clear at the top with a 2-0 win at Empoli Saturday.
Bayern beats Dortmund
Arjen Robben's late penalty gave Bayern Munich a hard-fought 2-1 win over Borussia Dortmund to leave the visitor in the Bundesliga's relegation zone Saturday.
Robben converted from the spot in the 85th minute, completing Bayern's comeback 13 minutes after Robert Lewandowski scored the equalizer against his former side.
Marco Reus gave Dortmund a 31st-minute lead with a header from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's deep cross. Dortmund, the 2011 and 2012 champion, has made its worst start to a season after losing seven of the opening 10 games.
In other games it was: Hamburger SV 1, Bayer Leverkusen 0; Wolfsburg 4, Stuttgart 0; Hannover 1, Eintracht Frankfurt 0.
PSG rallies past Lorient
Edinson Cavani and Jean-Christophe Bahebeck helped defending champion Paris Saint-Germain rally past Lorient 2-1 Saturday and pull within a point of leader Marseille in the French league.
In the race for a Champions League spot, Lyon stayed one point behind PSG by defeating Nice 3-1. — Agencies
