European champions Bayern Munich suffered only their second Bundesliga defeat of the season on Friday after throwing away a two-goal lead and crashing to a 3-2 loss at Borussia Moenchengladbach. The away defeat means second-placed RB Leipzig can wipe out Bayern's two-point lead and top the Bundesliga table if they beat Borussia Dortmund at home on Saturday. Bayern were cruising at 2-0 up after 26 minutes thanks to a Robert Lewandowski penalty and a superb Leon Goretzka goal at Borussia Park.

 However, Gladbach roared back as midfielder Jonas Hofmann scored twice to make it 2-2 at the break, then set up Florian Neuhaus who scored what proved to be the winner for the hosts just after the break. "We're delighted, it was a hard fight. I don't think many people had thought we could do it, but we scored our first two goals exactly as planned," Hofmann told DAZN. "We knew Bayern defend high. We made life hard for ourselves at the start, but it was great that we could take the lead straight after the break." Bayern were punished for repeatedly losing the ball in their half as Gladbach took the chances which came their way. Bayern started brightly, ending their curious run of conceding the first goal in their previous eight league games when Neuhaus reached down and brushed the ball with the back of his hand on the edge of the area.
