The draw ended Leipzig's six-match winning run in the league, and Julian Nagelsmann's side is now on 54 points after 25 games, four points behind leader Bayern Munich.

The host dominated the first half, winger Justin Kluivert and defender Willi Orban going close to scoring, and it made the breakthrough in the 46th minute through winger Emil Forsberg.

Kluivert fired a shot from a distance which was parried away by goalkeeper Kevin Trapp and Forsberg pounced on the loose ball to put Leipzig ahead.
