    RB Leipzig went top of the Bundesliga after coming from behind to beat Bayer Leverkusen in a thrilling game.

    Kevin Kampl gave Leverkusen an early lead but Julian Baumgartlinger’s own goal levelled the score.

    Julian Brandt restored the hosts’ lead but Hakan Calhanoglu had a penalty saved when he could have made it 3-1.

    Leipzig took advantage and Emil Forsberg ran from his own half to fire home an equaliser before Willi Orban headed a late winner.

    The controversial club, who have now won six league games in a row, have became the first promoted team to go 11 games unbeaten at the start of a Bundesliga season.

    RB Leipzig were founded in 2009 and, with the backing of Red Bull, won four promotions in seven seasons to reach the top flight for the first time this year.

    On their official English Twitter page, the club thanked all their fans who traveled to the Bay Arena to support the team.

    A big thank you to all of the #RBL fans who travelled to the #BayArena for tonight's game ?We wish you all a safe trip back home! ?? #B04RBL pic.twitter.com/GXBTliLuCK
