From the kick-off Leipzig implemented their fast-paced style of play to press Monchengladbach into the defence.

Leipzig's efforts paid off with just 17 minutes into the game as Timo Werner finished Bernado's low pass into the box for the opener.

The "Foals" remained unimpressed and were able to level the scores after Thorgan Hazard kept his nerves from the penalty spot to make it 1-1 on the scoreboards in the 25th minute.

However, Leipzig needed another six minutes to capture the lead again after Naby Keita's pass into path found Jean-Kevin Augustin, who made no mistake to slot home the 2-1 lead from the edge of the box.

The hosts remained in control of the first half and they should have added another goal to their lead but they lacked in accuracy.

As a consequence, Monchengladbach punished Leipzig for their wastefulness after the half-time as Lars Stindl's long-range effort found the back of the net to restore parity in the 61st minute.

Things went from bad to worse for Leipzig as Keita received his marching orders after a rude foul play. Monchengladbach pressed frenetically for the winner but they were unable to take advantage of their superior numbers.

With the draw, Leipzig slipped to the 5th place while Monchengladbach dropped to the 10th position.

Elsewhere, Schalke hijacked three points from Bremen after bouncing back from one goal down to win 2-1 on the road.
