Euro wrap: De Gea saves two penalties, Hary Kane goes off injured

admin admin | 10-07 08:15

Former Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea saved two penalties as Fiorentina claimed a 2-1 home victory over AC Milan in Serie A.

Fiorentina had earlier seen Moise Kean's spot-kick saved by Mike Maignan in the 20th minute before loanee Yacine Adli struck against his parent club to put I Viola ahead.

AC Milan – who are chasing a fourth-straight league win to potentially move up to second place – were then awarded a penalty in first-half stoppage-time, but Theo Hernandez was denied by De Gea.

Kean saw a goal ruled out soon after the restart before De Gea made another spot-kick save, this time from Tammy Abraham.

Milan eventually equalised on the hour through Christian Pulisic, only for Albert Gudmundsson to score the winner with 15 minutes left.

Kean then saw a late effort rattle the crossbar before Hernandez saw red for the visitors at the death.

Juventus were earlier held to a 1-1 draw at home by Cagliari, who scored a late penalty at the Allianz Stadium, where Juve forward Francisco Conceicao was sent off after picking up a second yellow card for diving in the closing stages.

England captain Harry Kane was substituted during the second half of Bayern Munich's 3-3 Bundesliga draw at Eintracht Frankfurt following a collision which saw him need treatment on his right thigh area.

Kim Min-Jae had given Bayern a 15th-minute lead, before goals from Omar Marmoush and Hugo Ekitike put Frankfurt ahead.

Dayot Upamecano, though, soon had Bayern – beaten in the Champions League at Aston Villa in midweek – back in front before the break with a close-range finish and former Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise made it 3-2 with a 20-yard strike early in the second half.

With 20 minutes left, there was an injury scare for Kane, set to join up with the England squad next week for the Nations League, when he went down and needed treatment on his right leg, before getting up and walking off, to be replaced by Mathys Tel.

It looked like Bayern would hold on, but Frankfurt struck a stoppage-time equaliser, Marmoush slotting in a knockdown from Eric Dina Ebimbe.

Harry Kane was forced off

Following the match, Bayern manager Vincent Kompany tried to allay any fears over Kane’s injury as he told reporters: "It’s still too early to tell what Harry has. We hope it’s not that serious."

Bayern remain top of the table, but are now level on 14 points with RB Leipzig. who earlier won 1-0 at Heidenheim thanks to a second-half goal from Lois Openda.

Robert Lewandowski scored a first-half hat-trick as Barcelona got back to winning ways with a 3-0 victory at Alaves.

The La Liga leaders lost at Osasuna last weekend to end a seven-match winning streak, but bounced back with a convincing midweek 5-0 Champions League triumph over Young Boys.

Lewandowski struck three times inside the opening 31 minutes at Mendizorroza, while mid-table Alaves went on to fight hard to respond and saw a goal from Toni Martinez ruled out just before the interval.

The result restored a three-point lead for Hansi Flick's men over rivals Real Madrid.

Atletico Madrid took the lead after just 52 seconds at Real Sociedad, but had to settle for a point from a 1-1 draw.

The visitors made a flying start when Antoine Griezmann’s clever backheel from a long ball set up Julian Alvarez to fire the ball into the bottom corner.

Sociedad, though, eventually hauled themselves level with just six minutes left through a looping 25-yard effort from Luka Sucic.

Girona got back to winning ways with a remarkable 2-1 home victory over Athletic Bilbao which saw goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga save three penalties – from Alex Berenguer, Inaki Williams and Ander Herrera – before Cristhian Stuani netted the winner nine minutes into stoppage time from the penalty spot.

Also on Sunday, Sevilla beat arch-rivals Real Betis 1-0 thanks to Dodi Lukebakio's second-half penalty.

Paris St Germain missed the chance to move back top of Ligue 1 after they came from behind to draw 1-1 at Nice.

Ali Abdi's deflected effort had given the home side a first-half lead and, while Nuno Mendes equalised soon after the restart, PSG could not find a late winner.
