BSS, Berlin :
A last-gasp Alexander Sorloth goal sealed RB Leipzig’s dramatic 3-2 comeback win at home to Borussia Moenchengladbach on Saturday and kept them in the thick of the Bundesliga title race.
Leipzig fought back with second-half goals by Christopher Nkunku and Yussuf Poulsen before Sorloth’s winning header in the 93rd minute after Gladbach led 2-0 at half-time thanks to strikes by Jonas Hofmann and Marcus Thuram
“We delivered a top performance and deserved to win,” said Poulsen.
“After a game like that, confidence is high and puts a spring in your step.”
The victory keeps second-placed Leipzig two points behind leaders Bayern Munich, who earlier romped to a 5-1 home win over Cologne. Gladbach were in complete control at half-time after Hofmann netted an early penalty and Thuram used his shoulder to guide the ball into the net from a Breel Embolo header.
However, Sorloth came off the bench and inspired the second-half fight back.
The former Crystal Palace striker had a goal disallowed for handball before setting up Nkunku, who fired home Leipzig’s first goal on 57 minutes.
