German Bundesliga RB Leipzig have returned to winning-ways with a 4-2 victory, away at FC Cologne.

Cologne took a surprise lead only 7 minutes into the game thanks to Khwon Cordoba. RB Leipzig drew level 13 minutes later as Patrik Schick grabbed his 9th goal of the campaign with a brilliant header.

Christopher Nkunku put Leipzig in front with a fine chip over Cologne keeper after latching onto a neat through ball.

The visitors got their 3rd five-minutes after the restart, when keeper Peter Gulachi provided a perfect assist for striker Timo Werner to finish it off.

Anthony Modeste gave Cologne some hope of a comeback with a 55th minute pile-driver but it was quickly cancelled-out by Dani Olmo�s effort two minutes later.

The win put RB Leipzig firmly on course for a champions league spot, with five games left in the season as they are currently 3rd, on 58 points, 2 clear of Gladbach and Bayer Leverkusen.
