Weekend Talking Points: Man United falter and Titans thrash Patriots

Dortmund grab a lift in title tilt

Before this Bundesliga campaign began, the odds suggested it was very much Bayern Munich’s crown to lose. But the ball is now in Borussia Dortmund’s court after the table-toppers bagged maximum points in Der Klassiker.

Despite trailing twice, BVB eventually secured victory thanks to loan ace Paco Alcacer’s ninth goal in eight games since his arrival. The weekend’s results leave Bayern in fifth place, seven points off the top and below Eintracht Frankfurt.

That’s all seen a shift in the outright odds, with Dortmund now 10/11 to lift the title – making them joint-favourites alongside Niko Kovac’s side.

Cavs nightmare continues with Bulls loss

While most sides slump after losing their star man, Cleveland Cavaliers’ fall since LeBron James’ off-season exit has been instant and monumental.

After making the last four NBA Finals – winning in 2016 – they currently have the worst record in the entire NBA this season. The weekend’s defeat to a poor Chicago Bulls side left the Cavs at 1-11.

Having already fired Tyronn Lue as head coach earlier this season, the pressure is now mounting on his replacement Larry Drew. As for LeBron, he’s just led the Los Angeles Lakers to a third straight win – being top points-scorer in each game.

Warnock’s Bluebirds showing some fight

Many expected Cardiff City to suffer relegation from the Premier League with a whimper this term. But Neil Warnock’s men are showing they’re made of sterner stuff.

The South Wales outfit bagged a second win in three home games, as they pulled off a hard-fought comeback win against Brighton & Hove Albion.

Sol Bamba was the hero, bagging a 90^th minute winner – but this was very much a steely and organised team display. The result drags Warnock’s side up to 18th place, and sees their relegation odds drift out to 1/2.
