Match report

The Bundesliga title celebrations of Bayern Munich were put on hold after the stop-time equalizer of Yussuf Poulsen had removed a 3-3 draw for RB Leipzig.

The side of Vincent Kompany could still protect top glory this weekend, if Bayer Leverkusen are nine points behind the leaders with a competition in the Hand-Sentag does not win to Freiburg.

A chaotic opening saw Benjamin Sesko Lob a stranded Jonas Urbig for a wonderful opener of 11th minute, before Lukas Klostermann the benefit of the home team doubled six minutes before the interval.

Michael Olise led to a comeback in the second half, first set Eric Dier from a corner, before he connected to Serge Gnabry and scored himself a minute later to use the procedure.

Bayern seemed to be set to get the title when Leroy Sane shot home with seven minutes, only for Leipzig to fight back in the dying seconds.

Xavi Simons found a bag of space outside the area and rolled through for Poulsen, who showed remarkable calmness to lift a chip over the touching urbig to level from the stopping time in the fourth minute.

The Last Gasp draw allows Bayern for the result of Leverkusen to seal their title of top flight, otherwise the side of Kompany can secure the Bundesliga-Kroon when they receive Borussia Monchengladbach next Saturday.

Data Debrief: Sesko and Olise Shine

Sesko was again on goal against Bayern, making it three straight Bundesliga games when he just found it against Kompany's side.

In fact, only Harry Kane (18) and Hugo Ekitike (14) are directly involved in more goals at home than Sesko (13; Nine goals, four assists) this season.

Bayern, however, had their own attacking sparkle to appeal in Olise, who has now registered 13 assists in the Bundesliga this season, a competition height.

No new Bayern signature has ever set up as many goals as Olise started in a Bundesliga campaign since the records started in 2004-05, and his efforts were the decisive factor to drag the visitors back to the game.

Bayern will have the feeling that they have done enough for the victory after collecting 1.56 expected goals to Leipzigs 0.90, but Poulsen's Last-Gasp Heroics left the party celebrations of the visitors in ICE.
