Bayer Leverkusen 2-3 RB Leipzig
Kevin Kampl 2’ Julian Baumgartlinger 4’
Julian Brandt 45’+2’ Emil Forsberg 67’
Will Orban 81’
RB Leipzig is still undefeated in the Bundesliga.
They just got promoted to the top flight this season and RB Leipzig are on top of the table after their away win against Bayer Leverkusen.
Winning away at Leverkusen is never the easiest thing to do. The goals came early and fast in this match. Both teams were on the scoresheet after the first five minutes.
Bayer Leverkusen gave up the lead on two occasions to allow RB Leipzig to leave with the maximum points from this fixture.
Kevin Kampl gave the home team the perfect start when he scored within the first two minutes. Unfortunately, Julian Baumgartlinger scored an own-goal not too long after Leverkusen took the lead to give Leipzig an equalizing goal.
RB Leipzig won the match with two second-half goals after being down a goal just before the break. Eleven matches later and RB Leipzig remains undefeated. Should we start placing our bets? How are the odd looking at the moment?

Signal Iduna Park is really a fortress.
In the most highly anticipated fixture of the day, Borussia Dortmund delivered Bayern Munich a first league defeat of the 2016/17 Bundesliga season.
The usual suspect Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was the scorer of the only goal of this fixture.
As expected, both of these teams had great opportunities and moment that could have changed the outcome of the match.
From the balance of play in this match, Bayern Munich probably deserved more. But the then again they had more incentive to get a goal after trailing to an early goal.
Borussia Dortmund’s victory pulls them into the champions league spot in the league standings. They temporarily moved to third place since Hoffenheim and Eintracht Frankfurt have a match in hand, and are mathematically in the position to move Dortmund down the league table with a win and a healthy win.
