FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) ― Nuremberg came from behind to earn a 1-1 draw at home against Hamburger SV in the Bundesliga on Sunday, while Sascha Moelders scored two gifted goals to help Augsburg win 3-2 at Fortuna Duesseldorf.

Hamburg forward Son Heung-min wasted two late chances to secure a victory, while Duesseldorf was denied a goal in injury time that would have leveled the match.

Koreans also played a big part in Augsburg’s win. Moelders notched the first in the 40th when defender Juanan tried to head the ball back to his goalkeeper Fabian Giefer but it trickled through his feet and Moelders put into the empty net.

The second came in the final minute of the first half, when Koo Ja-cheol scored at the far post following some good work by his countryman Ji Dong-won.

England

Clint Dempsey scored during stoppage time Sunday, giving Tottenham a 1-1 draw against Premier League-leading Manchester United. The American, who sent Tottenham to its first win at United in 23 years in September, offset Robin van Persie’s first-half header to give the fourth-place hosts something to show for their dominance at snowy White Hart Lane.
