Awoniyi shines as Union Berlin avenge Leipzig cup defeat; Aina, unused Torino sub; Okereke falls with Venezia

Taiwo Awoniyi was on parade as Union Berlin came from a goal down to inflict a 2-1 defeat on their DFB Pokal nemesis Leipzig at the Red Bull Arena on Saturday.

Leipzig had performed a similar trick in midweek, coming from a goal deficit to win 2-1 and knock Union out of the German Cup in the semifinal.

And it was the Iron Ones’ turn to laugh last as goals from Sven Michel and Kevin Behrens in the last four minutes of regulation time overturned Yussuf Poulsen’s 46th-minute opener for Leipzig.

In the Italian Serie A, Ola Aina was an unused sub as Torino dispatched Spezia 2-1 at the Stadio Olimpico Grande to tighten their grip on 11th position on the league table.

Two goals from Sasa Lukic handed Il Toro their 11th win of the league campaign with just five matches left.

At the Stadio Pierluigi Penzo, David Okereke endured a difficult afternoon as his Venezia were taken to the cleaners by visiting Atalanta.

Mario Pasalic, Duvan Zapata, and Luis Muriel were all on the scoresheet for Atalanta as they made away with a 3-0 victory.
