Leverkusen 3-2 RB Leipzig: Xabi Alonso’s side keep up winning ways

Leverkusen continue their unbeaten run with a hard fought victory over RB Leipzig.

Leipzig took the lead in the 7th minute when Xaver Schlager crossed the ball in to wonderkid Xavi Simons, who skillfully flicked the ball up, spinned around and volleyed it into the bottom corner.

Leverkusen equalised 2 minutes into the second half when in-form wingback Alex Grimaldo played a ball through past all Leipzig defenders for Nathan Tella to tap it in.

Leverkusen host Mönchengladbach next on January 28 while Leipzig travel to Stuttgart on January 27
