Goal facts

• Our top goalscorer Lois Openda netted his fifth and sixth goal of the season in his first brace for RBL. Before this game he had never scored for Leipzig in an away fixture.
   
• Emil Forsberg converted a free-kick – our first goal from a dead-ball this season.
   
• Emil has now scored at least one goal in each of the eight Bundesliga seasons that he has been involved in.
   
• With Forsberg’s goal, ten different RBL players have now scored this season – more than any other Bundesliga side.
   
• Benjamin Henrichs got the assist for the first goal of the game, which puts him on four assists for the season in all competitions – level with Xavi.
   
• With his assist to make it 3-1, Christoph Baumgartner got his first goal involvement for Leipzig.
   
• Although there was no clean sheet for RBL today, we’ve only conceded 7 goals this season, which means that Leipzig have the second best defence in the league.
