Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 18 Oct, 20:02 · Archive

Freiburg suffered its first Bundesliga loss of the season, losing 2-1 at Bayer Leverkusen, while Monaco lost 1-0 at Lorient.

Freiburg took an early lead through Derry Scherhant in the 14th minute but Bayer Leverkusen rallied with goals from Ibrahim Maza in the 19th and Patrik Schick in the 76th. The defeat leaves Freiburg on 13 points, one point behind both second-place Borussia Dortmund and league leaders Bayern Munich. Freiburg had previously won eight of its last nine games across all competitions and had been the only team to lose points at Frankfurt.

Monaco's loss to Lorient ended its status as the only unbeaten side in Ligue 1. In the Premier League, Brighton defeated Crystal Palace 5-0, with Diego Gomez scoring from the halfway line, while Arsenal edged Nottingham Forest.

Real Madrid will face Sevilla in La Liga later that Sunday without Vinícius Júnior. Bayer Leverkusen's victory came under new coach Carles Martínez, who has now overseen six wins from seven games across all competitions since taking charge.
