With the win, Bayern Munich established a four-point gap atop the standings meanwhile Dortmund slipped from the 2nd to the 3rd place in the Bundesliga table.

Substitute Emil Forsberg provided two second-half assists ensuring Leipzig's 2-1 comeback win over Hannover on the goals from Yussuf Poulsen and Timo Werner.

Both sides played an entertaining first half with chances at both ends of the pitch. However, Leipzig should have opened the scoring seconds before the break but Julian Korb deflected Timo Werner's effort to the crossbar.

Hannover punished Leipzig's wastefulness in front of the target after the restart when Jonathas tapped home Ihlas Bebou's square pass to break the deadlock with 56 minutes into the game.

Leipzig's coach Ralph Hasenhuettl reacted and introduced Forsberg and Naby Keita from the bench. The coach's personnel decision paid off in the 70th minute as Forsberg initiated a fast break, via Timo Werner, allowing Poulsen to level the scores.

The hosts remained on the front foot and got rewarded with the winner after Forsberg's ball into the area found Werner, who poked home the 2-1 decider from close range in the 85th minute.

With the result, Leipzig take over the 2nd place whereas Hannover slipped to the 5th position.

Elsewhere, Schalke edged Freiburg 1-0 on the sole goal from Daniel Caligiuri to move on the 4th position.

Monchengladbach secured one point on home soil as Jannik Vestergaard cancelled out Mainz' opener through Abdou Diallo.
