Ouedraogo stunner sends Leipzig second
A second-half stunner from freshly minted Germany midfielder Assan Ouedraogo has helped RB Leipzig to a 2-0 home win over Werder Bremen on Sunday, allowing them to return to second.
Leipzig's Austria midfielder Xaver Schlager scored with 10 minutes remaining to cement the victory.
The win took Leipzig into outright second, two points clear of Bayer Leverkusen and six points behind league leaders Bayern Munich.
The teenage Ouedraogo scored on his Germany debut in a 6-0 rout of Slovakia at the same venue on Monday and looked dangerous early, going close twice in the opening half.
With 63 minutes gone, the 19-year-old pivoted and slid the ball onto his left foot before blasting a long-range rocket into the top corner.
Bremen looked to have equalised when Keke Topp tapped in a reply after a corner shortly afterwards, but the goal was rubbed out for a narrow offside.
Schlager came off the bench to score Leipzig's second, tapping in a loose ball from close range.
Leipzig, who failed to qualify for European football last season for the first time, have dropped just four of a possible 30 points in the league since copping a 6-0 thrashing by Bayern in the season opener.
Later on Sunday, struggling St Pauli host Union Berlin. St Pauli have lost their past seven matches in the league and sit in the relegation play-off position.
