Bayern Munich were held to a draw by Borussia Mönchengladbach thanks to Yann Sommer’s heroics, while Eintracht Frankfurt beat Werder Bremen in a 7-goal thriller on matchday four of the Bundesliga season.

Bayern Munich’s winning start to the season came to an end on Saturday evening as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Borussia Mönchengladbach. Yann Sommer delivered a stunning performance between the sticks for the Foals, making a Bundesliga record 19 saves to help his side claim a priceless point at the Allianz Arena.

Gladbach took the lead in the 43rd minute through Marcus Thuram, before a late goal from Leroy Sané rescued a point for Bayern.

Mario Götze opened his account for Eintracht Frankfurt as they came from behind to beat Werder Bremen 4-3. The Eagles took the lead in the second minute through Götze, only for Bremen to turn the game on its head thanks to quick-fire goals from Anthony Jung and Leonardo Bittencourt.
