David Affengruber secures a goalless draw with Fulham against Liverpool in his Premier League debut!

Despite Fulham even having the first big chance to take the lead in the early stages. Alisson plays a dangerous ball from the back which is intercepted by Gonzalo Garcia. The Spanish newcomer gets the ball on target, but Jacquet can clear it off the line (11.).

Then it's Liverpool who become dangerous. After a block by Affengruber, a corner is awarded to the "Reds". Following a cross from former Salzburg player Szoboszlai, Munoz heads the ball from four meters against the crossbar (21.).

The hosts are now really getting into the game. Affengruber just manages to disrupt Wirtz's shot (24.).

Liverpool with a Weak Performance

After their Champions League victory over Atletico Madrid, Iraola's boys cannot build on that performance. In the second half, it's initially Fulham who come out of the dressing room better.

In the 66th minute, Szoboszlai is able to create danger again for the first time, but he is denied by Leno in the Fulham goal.

The match therefore ends in a 0-0 draw. Affengruber plays the full match in his debut.

Schuster Draws Against Bournemouth

Jannik Schuster and Brentford draw 1-1 against Bournemouth.

Bournemouth find their way into the game better and create the first good opportunity right at the start. Silva fails to convert a superb cross from Tavernier with a header, sending it wide of the goal from ten meters out (8.).

However, in the 34th minute, Schuster's team takes a 0-1 lead. After a cross from Yarmoliuk, Schade puts the "Bees" ahead (34.).

Bournemouth Reacts Immediately

Just four minutes later, the equalizer comes directly. Justin Kluivert places the ball into the bottom left corner after a scramble at the edge of the box (38.).

After the break, it's Silva again who misses a clear-cut chance and fails to make it 2-1 (49.). But in the 53rd minute, Tavernier scores the 2-1 after an assist from Evanilson.

Crazy Second Half

It's back and forth in Bournemouth. Just three minutes later, it's the German Schade again who equalizes for Brentford (56.). Goalkeeper Petrovic simply plays the ball right into the 24-year-old's feet, who can then just chip it over him.

Despite Bournemouth's clear superiority, the match ends 2-2 - Schuster plays the full match for Brentford.
