Defeats see 3️⃣ Bundesliga big guns break long-standing record
Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen all suffered Bundesliga defeats on Saturday afternoon.
It is rare for three of Germany's biggest teams to all suffer losses on the same day, so rare that it hasn't happened in nearly 20 years.
Bayern fell 3-2 at home against Bochum, while Leverkusen and Dortmund also lost to Werder Bremen and Augsburg, respectively.
3 - FC Bayern, Borussia Dortmund and Bayer 04 Leverkusen have all lost on the same Bundesliga matchday for the first time since MD20 in 2006-07. Surprising.

Kane saves England from embarrassment against Andorra in World Cup qualifying
BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — England needed a second-half goal from Harry Kane to secure a 1-0 win over lowly Andorra and maintain a perfect record under Thomas Tuchel after three World Cup qualifiers on Saturday. England was held scoreless by a team ranked 173rd in the world until Kane redirected a pass from Noni Madueke into the top of the net in the 50th minute after the Bayern Munich striker's initial effort was saved by goalkeeper Iker Álvarez. It was goal No. 72 in his 106th appearance for the Three Lions. Tuchel's side remained top of Europe's Group K with nine points after wins against Albania and Latvia. They have yet to concede a goal under the German coach. Andorra is winless. England dominated possession and Eberechi Eze went close to a second goal when he forced Álvarez to tip his header of the bar as the visitors couldn't extend the lead. England had won its previous six meetings with Andorra by a combined score of 25-0. The game was played at Espanyol's stadium in Barcelona, nearly three hours south of the Pyrenees principality — which has a population of around 80,000 — due to concerns that work on Andorra's home stadium wouldn't be finished in time. Ezri Konsa had to block a late shot by Andorra's Guillaume Lopez to prevent the chance of an equalizer. Only the group winners qualify directly for next year's tournament in North America. The second-placed teams go into a playoffs. Europe will have 16 teams in the expanded 48-team field for the World Cup. The group stage of European qualifying runs through November. ___ AP soccer:
