Borussia Dortmund were unable to hold on after an early Mats Hummels red card, losing at home to RB Leipzig.
Borussia Dortmund - 02
RB Leipzig - 03
Scorers: Süle 45+6′ ; Bensabaini (OG) 32′, Baumgartner 54′
Dortmund were under the cosh in the early exchanges, as Mats Hummels was sent off after taking down Loïs Openda from behind when the striker got in past the defence.
While Leipzig were initially given a penalty-kick, a VAR review showed the challenge to be outside of the box.
But the visitors took advantage of their numerical superiority some 15 minutes later, snatching the lead through a Ramy Bensebaini own-goal.
The gutsy Dortmund players did not give up there however, as Niklas Süle reclaimed parity in first half stoppage time against the run of play.
The hosts could not hold out forever though, as Christoph Baumgartner fired Leipzig back in front less than 10 minutes after the restart.
Leipzig appeared to put the final nail in the Dortmund coffin in the dying minutes as Yussuf Poulsen fired home on the break, but Niclas Füllkrug cut the lead once again minutes late.
It was too little, too late for Dortmund however, as Leipzig held on to narrowly collect the points.
The win sees Leipzig extend the gap over their opponents on the night to four points, and put more pressure on teams at the summit of the Bundesliga.
