Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich suffer shock defeat at RB Leipzig

Runaway Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich suffered only their third defeat of the season as substitute Timo Werner grabbed an impressive 2-1 win for RB Leipzig.

Werner’s 56th-minute effort gave his side their first win over Bayern at the fifth attempt and left the visitors with more work to do to seal another crown.

Bayern had looked set to consolidate their status at the summit when Sandro Wagner headed the opener with just 12 minutes on the clock.

But a stirring performance by the home side led to Naby Keita levelling just before half-time before Werner – a 10th-minute replacement for the injured Marcel Sabitzer – fired home to grab Leipzig their shock triumph.

Michy Batshuayi’s sixth goal in seven Bundesliga games helped Borussia Dortmund stretch their unbeaten run to 12 with a narrow 1-0 win over Hannover.

The on-loan Chelsea striker struck the woodwork just 36 seconds into the contest as he burst clear on goal.

However, the Belgian was not to be denied as he pounced in the 24th minute to divert a corner from Andre Schurrle into the net at the near post.

Maximilian Philipp then struck the post in the closing stages as Dortmund kept the pressure on in the race for a top-four position.

Cologne moved off the bottom of the table and dented the European ambitions of Rhine rivals Bayer Leverkusen with a 2-0 win at the Rhine Energie Stadion.

Yuya Osako gave the home side the lead with just nine minutes on the clock and the visitors’ task was made harder just past the half-hour mark when Lucas Alario was shown a straight red card.

Simon Zoller struck Cologne’s second in the 69th minute to seal their first win in three games and keep their improbable survival hopes alive.
