However, they almost immediately fell into a state of complacency, giving Leipzig too much room and allowing them to have a number of opportunities, with custodian Yann Sommer making three excellent saves. In the 65th minute, Laimer, who is anticipated to join Bayern for the upcoming season, blasted in the equaliser to make up for their tardiness.

After Nkunku was hauled down in the box, the France international stepped up to beat Sommer from the penalty spot and quiet the Bayern supporters, completing Leipzig’s comeback in the 76th minute. Szoboszlai’s second penalty for a handball in the 85th minute secured the three points for the visitors and put an end to Tuchel’s team’s miserable afternoon.
