According to the Guardian, Bayern Munich secured a 2-1 victory over Mainz in the Bundesliga on Saturday. Manuel Neuer became Bayern’s oldest player at 40 years and 225 days, overtaking Bernd Dreher, but his day turned sour as he was forced off with a recurrence of a foot injury before half-time. His performance also drew scrutiny following an error that nearly led to an equaliser. According to Opta data, Neuer has made five errors leading to goals in his previous 17 Bundesliga games. In the match, Harry Kane provided two assists for Joshua Kimmich and Lennart Karl, helping Bayern maintain their lead at the top of the Bundesliga table.
