LEIPZIG SLUMP TO DEFEAT
RB LEIPZIG dropped out of the Bundesliga top four yesterday after Davie Selke fired 10-man Hertha Berlin to a shock 3-2 victory at the Red Bull Arena. Former RB striker Selke grabbed a brace on his return to Leipzig, as Hertha battled to an astonishing triumph, despite going down to 10 men early in the game. Selke curled in the opener for Hertha in the fifth minute, but his joy was short-lived as Hertha defender Jordan Torunarigha was controversially sent off for colliding with Timo Werner just minutes later. Hertha refused to buckle, and Salomon Kalou doubled the lead with a powerful header on the half-hour mark. Five minutes after the break, Selke was denied by goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi on the counterattack, only to score at the far post from the resulting corner. Not until the 68th minute did Leipzig strike back, with Willi Orban heading in a cross from Bruma. In yesterday’s other game, a Leon Bailey double was not enough for Leverkusen as they were held to a thrilling 4-4 draw in Hanover. “It was a crazy game, with both teams fighting from the first minute,” Bailey told Sky Sports. “We should have come out victorious, but we were not focused enough in front of goal.” (Coutinho 20, Lovren 26, Salah 44, Firmino 66), (Barry 77) 27, Lingard 35).
