BAYERN SURRENDER LEAD

BAYERN MUNICH again surrendered a two-goal lead in a 2-2 draw at Hertha Berlin yesterday in their first match since Carlo Ancelotti’s shock sacking, slipping to five points behind leaders Borussia Dortmund. With Willy Sagnol in temporary charge after Ancelotti’s dismissal on Thursday, Bayern went 2-0 up at Berlin’s Olympic Stadium with goals from Mats Hummels and Robert Lewandowski. But Berlin roared back with two goals inside five minutes from Ondrej Duda and Salomon Kalou to share the spoils. “That’s a bit annoying for us,” said Sagnol, whose team nonetheless moved up to second. “We have to play with more concentration and discipline.” Bayern made a bright start when Hummels headed Munich ahead on 10 minutes. The game burst into life early in the second-half as Lewandowski fired home on 49 minutes after robbing Hertha defender Niklas Stark. However, Berlin responded with two goals in five minutes. Japan’s Genki Haraguchi beat Robben, Hummels and Joshua Kimmich before playing in Duda to fire

home on 51 minutes. With Bayern in disarray, Kalou scored from eight yards out to equalise on 56 minutes. RB Leipzig went fourth, just a point behind Bayern, yesterday night with a 2-1 win at bottom side Cologne thanks to goals by Lukas Klostermann and Yussuf Poulsen. Hoffenheim crashed to their first Bundesliga defeat of the season with a shock 3-2 loss at strugglers Freiburg.
