Relief for Lampard as Chelsea sees off 10-man Fulham 1-0
Chelsea finally capitalized on the first-half sending-off of U.S. international Antonee Robinson by scoring in the 78th minute to see off stubborn Fulham 1-0 in the English Premier League on Saturday. Mason Mount drilled home the winner from a central position inside the area after Fulham goalkeeper Alphonse Areola could only scoop away a cross from the left by Ben Chilwell. Chelsea manager Frank Lampard, who has been under pressure after a run of poor results, punched the air in joy and likely relief, with his team having toiled in attempting to break down a home side which played with 10 men for the entire second half.

Dortmund rues missed penalty in 1-1 draw with lowly Mainz
Borussia Dortmund captain Marco Reus missed a penalty in a 1-1 draw with lowly Mainz while Leipzig again missed the chance to move to the top of the Bundesliga on Saturday. Leipzig, which was denied top spot in losing to Dortmund 3-1 last weekend, could manage only 2-2 at Wolfsburg and it remains a point behind league leader Bayern Munich. Dortmund was looking for its fourth win in five league games under new coach Edin Terzic but was frustrated by a committed performance from Mainz in Bo Svensson's second match in charge.
