Leipzig 6 points clear at top
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 27 - 11 - 2016

RB Leipzig continued its stunning start to life in the Bundesliga Friday with a 4-1 win at Freiburg that saw it move six points clear of Bayern Munich at the top of the table.
Timo Werner scored twice for the visitors at the Schwarzwald Stadion in between goals by Naby Keita and Marcel Sabitzer, with Florian Niederlechner replying in vain for the home side.
RB Leipzig's record-breaking start to a season for a newly-promoted side sees it still unbeaten after 12 games. It has won its last seven matches in a row and this latest success means it is certain to end the weekend clear at the summit once again.
Ralph Hassenhuettl's men can do no wrong at the moment and they opened the scoring in the Black Forest inside two minutes when pocket-sized Guinean midfielder Keita skipped away from Niederlechner and unleashed a superb shot that arrowed beyond the reach of goalkeeper Alexander Schwolow and into the top-right corner.
Mid-table Freiburg, which had won four of its previous five home games this season, drew level out of nowhere on the quarter-hour mark when Niederlechner headed past Peter Gulacsi in the Leipzig goal following a right-wing cross by Borussia Dortmund loanee Pascal Stenzel.
Freiburg had come up with Leipzig from the second tier last season, finishing five points clear of the Red Bull-backed club as it won the title.
It had taken four points off it in league meetings, but Leipzig is a different proposition in the top tier and it went back in front before the midway point in the first half.
Former VfB Stuttgart forward Werner was played onside by Marc Torrejon as he latched onto a ball over the top and slotted in after a rather weak attempt by Schwolow to stop him.
Werner netted again for his seventh of the season 10 minutes before the break after a superb pass by the ever-impressive Emil Forsberg took Nicolas Hoefler out of the game.
The victory was secured as Leipzig made it 4-1 with 11 minutes left when Swedish international Forsberg set up Sabitzer to side-foot home at the near post. — Reuters
