In a 3-1 comeback home victory over St Pauli on Saturday, Luis Diaz scored in stoppage time to help Bayern Munich recover from their Champions League defeat to Arsenal on Wednesday.
In the third minute of injury time, Diaz headed in a Harry Kane cross after being suspended for the defeat suffered by Bayern, which is Bayern’s first of any kind this season.
Bayern’s goal came four minutes after Nicolas Jackson had already scored to make it 2-0 for the second successive Bundesliga season without conceding any points.

Before half-time, Diaz had given Raphael Guerreiro the equalizer of the match, and after Andreas Hountondji had given Pauli a surprise lead six minutes in, Diaz had given Bayern.
Bayern will move into the top eight points after RB Leipzig’s goalless draw against Borussia Moenchengladbach on Friday.
Manuel Neuer, a veteran Bayern goalkeeper, credited his team with “belief.”
After falling behind and having no luck in hitting the post three times, we kept going. The late goals were a relief, Neuer claimed.
Pauli took the lead early after a club-record eight straight Bundesliga defeats before arriving in Munich.

Hountondji outmuscled Kim Min-jae in midfield before scoring past Manuel Neuer at the near post after the visitors had forced Joshua Kimmich of Bayern into a mistake.
Before Diaz acrobatically created the leveller, Bayern youngsters Lennart Karl and Tom Bischof took turns hitting the post.
Kim chipped a long pass into Diaz’s box to make amends for his early error. The Colombian fell, but Guerreiro somehow managed to get the ball and fired in from close range.

With 10 minutes left, Kane hit the woodwork, but Diaz’s late strike, which lofted a ball goalwards for the former Liverpool forward, was crucial, before Chelsea loanee Jackson added a third with the match’s final kick.
In another area, Heidenheim scored twice in the 90th minute to win 2-1 away at Union Berlin and top the table.
Said El Mala, a star of Germany, gave Cologne a 1-1 draw away at Werder Bremen with a stoppage-time equalizer.
With a 3-0 victory at home against struggling Augsburg, who haven’t won since early October, Hoffenheim moved up to fourth place in the table.
With victory, Bayer Leverkusen will face Borussia Dortmund at home later that Saturday, and they will be able to match up with RB Leipzig in terms of points later.
The US’s response to Israel’s killing of an Al Jazeera journalist is explained by whistleblower Steve Gabavics to Marc Lamont Hill.
Did the Biden administration assist in hiding Shireen Abu Akleh’s murder by Israeli forces?
The US Department of State sent a colonel-turned-whistleblower to investigate Abu Akleh’s murder in 2022, according to Marc Lamont Hill in this week’s UpFront interview.
Abu Akleh was shot 16 times while wearing a blue vest marked “press,” according to Gabavics, but the State Department labeled her killing “accidental” to avenge the Israeli government.
With a 3-1 win over Alaves on Saturday, Daniel Olmo scored two goals to propel Barcelona into the top of La Liga.
After Pablo Ibanez gave Barca a surprise lead in the first minute through Lamine Yamal, a returning Raphinha goal, set up by the visiting team.
In the second match, Olmo scored the winner for Barca midway through the first half, before scoring late in the second period to clinch the victory at Camp Nou, which they had partially rebuilt.
Before Xabi Alonso’s side visit Girona on Sunday, Barca leads Real Madrid by two points.
Barca’s celebrations for its 126th anniversary were a little subdued, despite a 3-0 defeat by Chelsea in midweek.
Olmo told DAZN, “They caught us a little by surprise in the first minute, but the team came back well from that situation, keeping our idea of how to play,” they said. “We got the first, second, and finally we dominated,” Olmo said.
“To play here, to score, and to help the team win is a dream come true.”
Jules Kounde was benched after scoring his own goal at Stamford Bridge while Ronald Araujo and Frenkie de Jong were unavailable.
After a lengthy layoff following knee surgery, Flick returned Brazilian winger Raphinha for the first time since August 2024. He also brought Marc Bernal back into midfield for his first Barca start.

In their first game back home last weekend, Barcelona defeated Athletic Bilbao 4-0, but Alaves provided much more energetic opposition.
Ibanez fired home after Marc Casado couldn’t clear a corner, and Victor Parada turned the ball back in the direction of the goal, giving the visitors the lead right away.

When Raphinha found him with a low cross that Dani Olmo swung at and missed, Yamal stooped into the roof of the net.
Just before the hosts took the lead, Barca goalkeeper Joan Garcia saved a superb save to deny Calebe.
Raphinha was involved in the goal, cutting the ball back for Olmo to strike inside the near post once more.

Yamal almost doubled Barca’s lead, but after rounding Antonio Sivera, he was unable to hit the upright.
Before half-time, Lucas Boye fired a narrowly wide shot just wide of the teenager, almost making him pay.
45, 000 fans crowded the three open stands, cheering ferociously for Barca playmaker Pedri Gonzalez who came off injured in the second half.
As Barca struggled to end the game, Yamal curled neemly wide of the top corner from the edge of the box and a Olmo effort flew past the post.
Boye almost got level when Alaves’ block, but Barca defender Pau Cubarsi made a crucial block to halt the Basque side.
In stoppage time, Olmo defeated Sivera after the effervescent Yamal had given him the third goal.
Jonny Otto, a defender for the Alaves, told DAZN, “We couldn’t keep our lead, but we had our chances.”
“Barca may end up asking for the final whistle,” says Barca.
After legendary lock Eben Etzebeth was sent off for an eye gouge against Wales, South Africa head coach Rassie Erasmus said, “the optics weren’t great.”
In Cardiff, the Springboks scored 11 tries in a 73-0 victory, wrapping up an autumn clean sweep.
Etzebeth, who went over for the final score, was then dismissed by referee Luc Ramos, who was almost in the final act of the international year.
In a 79th-minute scuffle, the 34-year-old received a red card for striking with Alex Mann’s left eye with his thumb.
What can I say without being content to be debated. It was a justified red card, Erasmus said, and it didn’t look good.
I’m not sure how it happened or why it happened, but it’s definitely not how we would have liked to end the game. I’m also not sure if he was provoked. The optics weren’t great, in my opinion.
Etzebeth, who won the 141st cap in Cardiff, looks set to receive a lengthy suspension.

Springboks’ supervised aggression
In a one-sided game, the world champions defeated Wales.
Steve Tandy’s reign began with a run-in with Japan and three devastating defeats in the fall to South Africa, New Zealand, and Argentina.
Despite losing 21 of their last 23 Test matches, Erasmus tried to comfort Wales.
He claimed that this performance was a controlled performance because “we have been building and building up.”
The Welsh “fight until the end,” not just roll over and take the shots. We put our souls into the game by doing this, which was one of the most effective performances.
“Wales have a great coach, and they will win.” We know it can change and in 1998 we beat them (96-13) and then lost in 1999. “
After capturing back-to-back Rugby Championship titles, South Africa came out on top of the world in the year.
Despite being ranked sixth, Erasmus pointed to the Springboks’ formidable depth and strength.
The Welsh people are present, he said, “but we were there and people were burning jerseys.”
The players have the fight, and there is support. Things will change if you get one or two wins and get moving.

According to international rugby regulations, gouging bans range from 12 weeks for bad behavior at the low end to 208 weeks for bad behavior, while those for reckless eye contact can go from 6 to 208 weeks, depending on the nature of the offense.

Due to Pauline’s dementia battle, Linda is retiring from acting this year and is treading the boards alone.

Pauline Quirke and Linda Robson have always been close friends.
Pantomime occupies a special place in Linda Robson’s heart after years spent performing with her best pal and Birds Of A Feather co-star Pauline Quirke. But this year Linda is treading the boards alone, as Pauline’s dementia battle has forced her to retire from acting.
The pair were just 10 when they became best friends and went on to share a glittering career together on screen and stage, most famously as sisters Sharon and Tracey in their hit sitcom Birds Of A Feather, which also starred Lesley Joseph as their randy neighbour Dorien. So it’s no wonder Linda, 67, is determined to keep their friendship alive.
Linda responds, “I love her so much. We’ve been best friends for fifty-seven years. When we met in primary school, we were both 10 years old, and we are still friends today.
When Pauline was formally diagnosed with dementia at the age of 61 in 2021, Linda was heartbroken. Linda and Pauline continue to be close friends despite Pauline’s decline, and the two recently shared a pub lunch with friends and family.
It’s been really nice, Linda says, “We’re all still in touch and we’re all still friends.” About a week and a half ago, I saw Pauline. At the station, her son Charlie picked me up. Her daughter Emily and her husband Steve were also present, and it was just really, really nice.
We went to a small local pub, and the only thing they did was put us in the small private room. And we all had a really nice lunch.
Pauline and Linda shared jokes and reminiscences about their adventures in Birds of a Feather and panto because she still recognizes Linda and is able to make her laugh. She was happy and giggling. She is being treated very well, and she recognized me, which was also very encouraging. She is performing well.
Pauline’s son Charlie, who starred with his mum and Linda in ITV’s Birds Of A Feather reboot as Tracey’s son Travis Stubbs, is playing an active role in looking after his mother and will this month embark on a five-day trek to raise money for Alzheimer’s Research UK in honour of his mum. Linda hopes to join him for some of the way, if her schedule permits. “I’m hoping I’ll be able to go on the march,” says Linda. “Hopefully I’ll see Pauline again before Christmas.”
Linda will play Councillor Chigwell in Aladdin at Dartford’s Orchard West theater this holiday season. With only Christmas Day off, she will perform two shows per day. However, that is not as difficult as Pauline’s strict schedule.
We performed three shows a day at the Hackney Empire, according to Linda. That was fatal. We would leave home at eight in the morning, schedule shows at ten o’clock, two o’clock, and seven o’clock. Additionally, it was exhausting. Pauline told me, “I’m never going to do panto again.” She did, however.
Although it’s a demanding schedule, Linda maintains it by wearing her custom-made Skechers shoes to keep her feet warm and carrying a lot of banter in her back pocket in case she forgets her lines.
Linda says, “I’m just going to enjoy it.” I’ll just say, “I haven’t got a clue what I was supposed to say here!” if I forget my lines. The audience is then enthralled!
Linda, 67, is currently not looking forward to retiring. She says, “I don’t want to retire unless they get tired of me and don’t ask me to.” But I’m hoping not to retire. I want to work forever.
The actress made her Loose Women debut in 2003, and she hasn’t stopped appearing on the panel since 2012. Linda worries about her future on the show now that ITV’s daytime schedule is being cut. The program has already undergone changes, including limiting it to 30 episodes in 2026 and canning the live audience. If we still have jobs, it should be back in January, Linda says. We must wait to learn. Since I worked in a fish and chip shop before, I may have to return to that establishment.
She started watching I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! to support her old friend, actor and Spandau Ballet star Martin Kemp.
Linda responds, “He’s a really nice man. I adore how focused he is on the family. He and his wife Shirlie are both in love with their children. Because Martin was in about three episodes of Birds of a Feather and that his character had sex with Lesley’s character Dorien in the back of a hearse, I’ve met him numerous times over the years, as have Gary and his brother, but more so because of that fact.
When Linda appeared on I’m A Celebrity in 2012, she managed to get news from the outside world via Joe Swash, who was presenting the ITV2 spin-off show Extra Camp . Linda is good friends with Joe’s mum, and has known Joe since he was a child. “Joe lost his virginity at mine,” giggles Linda. “I’m best friends with his mum, Kiffy. We had a big Georgian house and we had a party and Joe locked himself in the bathroom and all the kids were hammering on the door! We’re all very close.”
The mother-of-three then requested that Joe give her a sign that her children had arrived safely while Linda was in the jungle. He would say, “Shares Linda,” and he would shout down. He’d go, ‘ Lind! The kids are here, too. I just wanted to make sure the kids were safe, but he kept getting into trouble because he wasn’t supposed to do that.

Linda wants to get a seat on the Celebrity Gogglebox sofa after finishing her panto. “I’d like to do Gogglebox with Lesley,” Linda says. Because we know each other so well, we’d be really good friends.
