Goals from Emil Forsberg and Yussuf Poulsen either side of Ji Dong-won's equaliser handed the Bulls their first win in three matches and their third in six league games, lifting them into third place behind Dortmund on goal difference.

Leipzig, who have yet to lose in their first season in the top flight, should have scored more goals but wasted a string of clear chances, with Augsburg keeper Marwin Hitz coming to the rescue on several occasions in the second half.
