Mönchengladbach: Football has always been known for its unpredictable nature and a series of encounters that happened on October 27 was a sheer good example of it. From Bayern losing 0-5 to Borussia Mönchengladbach to West Ham United crashing Manchester City out of EFL CUP and Juventus getting stunned by Sassuolo.
Braces from Swiss footballer Breel Embolo and Ramy Bensebaini along with a goal from Kauadio Kone saw Bayern Munich face their heaviest defeat in DFB Pokal as the German giants are out of the tournament even having the numerical advantages throughout the game. UEFA EURO 2020 fame Yann Sommer yet again produced a string of brilliant saves to keep lethal forwards like Serge Gnabry, Robert Lewandowski, and Leroy Sané at bay.
