Timo Werner ended his run of seven games without finding the net on Sunday as he fired RB Leipzig to victory over Bayern Munich.

Schalke's victory on Saturday meant that Bayern couldn't be crowned champions by beating Leipzig, not that it mattered in the end as the hosts came from behing to claim victory against the Bavarians.

Sandro Wagner opened the scoring early on for Bayern, before Liverpool-bound Naby Keita levelled the scores before the break.

With 56 minutes gone, Werner's moment came. Keita picked him out with a ball into the channel and the German international did the rest, speeding away from a defender before firing a low drive across Sven Ulreich and into the far corner to end his duck and secure the points.
