All three follow a similar plot, with a front protective flap that folds underneath the raked-back body, so that opening the speaker feels like opening a hardback book. It’s a neat design that provides some protection to the front perforated grille if you should travel with it; and despite the backward slope, the speaker will never fall over once it’s sat on its own cover.

The six-time defending Bundesliga champions have made a stuttering start to 2018-19, winning only seven of their opening 13 matches to sit fourth, nine points behind leaders Borussia Dortmund.

That lead wouldn’t last too long as Umesh let fly from distance to equalise in the 23rd minute....
