Full-time: Leipzig 1-5 Wolfsburg

Marco Rose misses the opportunity to win his 100th Bundesliga game as Leipzig coach, instead suffering a heavy defeat at the hands of former Leipzig coach Ralph Hasenhüttl. Wolfsburg were clinical in the first-half and patient in the second, happy to sit back and let Leipzig have the ball before punishing them with two more goals. It was a complete performance from the visitors and one to forget for the hosts.

Goal! Behrens slides it home

Silva goes close

A neat combination with Openda sees Silva gain half a yard of space on the edge of the box, which he uses to curl one toward the top corner - but it goes just over the bar.

Corner - after deliberation

After Arnold's volley is deflected wide, Wolfsburg have their first corner of the game. It takes a while before it's taken due to a handball review, and is then cleared by Leipzig.

Half-time: Leipzig 0-3 Wolfsburg

Leipzig's poor run looks like it will continue today, as they've been way off the pace in this first-half. Two quick-fire goals saw the visitors two goals up within five minutes, and the hosts never really recovered apart from a couple of half chances.

Leipzig under fire

Amoura shoots from outside the area, forcing a save from Gulácsi which rebounds to Baku. The wing-back takes a touch before tamely shooting into the Leipzig 'keeper's hands; it could certainly have been worse for Leipzig, who have looked all at sea defensively today.

Baku goes close!

A Wolfsburg breakaway ends with Baku shooting from close range to the right of the box, but Gulácsi gets down well to keep it at 3-0.

Missed opportunity

Openda breaks away and is eventually joined by Baumgart as he reaches the edge of Wolfsburg's box. He tries to find his teammate, but gets the timing of his pass all wrong, missing a great opportunity to capitalise on an exposed Wolfsburg backline.

Nusa fires over

Openda offside

Baumgart heads a lofted ball back toward Openda, who volleys over first-time, and is then called offside.

"The team have gained stability and undergone a strong development under Ralph Hasenhüttl. We all know his style of play, and knows that he prefers to play with a lot of intensity. Players like Tiago Tomás, Jonas Wind and Maximilian Arnold provide both leadership and pace. I have a lot of respect for Ralph's approach, his character and his coaching style.
