AUGSBURG, Germany (AP) — Fabian Hürzeler is the English Premier League’s new star manager after going unbeaten in his first four league games at Brighton. His old club St. Pauli is in trouble already. Three games into the Bundesliga season St. Pauli has yet to earn a point. Sunday’s 3-1 loss at Augsburg left St. Pauli in the relegation zone. At least it shed the unwanted record of being the league’s only team yet to score a goal. Werder Bremen held on for a 2-1 win at Mainz despite playing the last half-hour with 10 men.
