RB Leipzig beat Hoffenheim Put Pressure on Dortmund

Dani Olmo scored twice in two first-half minutes as RB Leipzig moved one point behind second-placed Borussia Dortmund with victory at Hoffenheim.

Spanish midfielder Olmo skipped past two defenders for his first before doubling the lead from eight yards.

Leipzig’s line-up included Germany forward Timo Werner, who is set to join Chelsea after the clubs agreed a deal.

In an incident-packed encounter, Werner – who has 25 Bundesliga goals this season – missed a chance to increase his tally when he fired over with just the goalkeeper to beat.
