Here is the weekend’s Bundesliga results summary, and the Bundesliga standings roundup.
Bundesliga results: RB Leipzig impress again
RB Leipzig continued their strong away run as they defeated Augsburg 2-0 away. The visitors have now gone nine away games without a defeat, with the latest win extending that club record. Despite starting the game slowly, goals from Angelino and Yussuf Poulsen in either half wrapped up a comprehensive victory.
Bundesliga highlights: Bayern Munich win with 10 men
Bayern Munich thrashed Arminia in a dominant 4-1 victory away from home. It was Thomas Mueller and Robert Lewandowski who were at the double, with Bayern Munich scoring with four out of their nine shots on target. Despite Corentin Tolisso being sent off in the second half, Bayern Munich never took their foot off the pedal as they ran out deserving winners. Lewandowski’s goal-scoring exploits meant he continued to set the early pace when it came to the scoring charts, with the Polish striker now having scored seven goals in the league.
Bundesliga highlights: Borussia Dortmund leave it late
With Erling Haaland on the bench, Borussia Dortmund struggled to get going in their Bundesliga fixture. Despite dominating the ball, the visitors saw Giovanni Reyna’s effort saved on the line while Thomas Meunier’s header bounced off the crossbar. The introduction of Reus and Haaland in the 64th minute proved to be the catalyst, with the duo combining to score the winning goal in the 76th minute.
