RB Leipzig go top of Bundesliga table




















RB Leipzig went top of the Bundesliga after
coming from behind to beat Bayer Leverkusen in
a thrilling game.

Kevin Kampl gave Leverkusen an early lead but
Julian Baumgartlinger's own goal levelled the
score.

Julian Brandt restored the hosts' lead but Hakan
Calhanoglu had a penalty saved when he could
have made it 3-1.

Leipzig took advantage and Emil Forsberg ran
from his own half to fire home an equaliser
before Willi Orban headed a late winner.
The controversial club, who have now won six
league games in a row, have became the first
promoted team to go 11 games unbeaten at the
start of a Bundesliga season.

RB Leipzig were founded in 2009 and, with the
backing of Red Bull, won four promotions in
seven seasons to reach the top flight for the
first time this year.

Bayern Munich will go back to the top if they
beat Borussia Dortmund in Der Klassiker on
Saturday (17:30 GMT).
