Leipzig put Bayern and Kane's title party on ice
Bayern Munich and Harry Kane's German Bundesliga title party was delayed by at least a day after RB Leipzig's Yussuf Poulsen scored a stoppage-time equaliser in a 3-3 home draw yesterday.
With Kane sitting in the stands due to a yellow card suspension, Bayern fell two down by half-time, Leipzig scoring twice in teaming rain in Saxony through Benjamin Sesko and Lucas Klostermann.
Bayern then scored twice in 46 seconds through Eric Dier and Michael Olise to level things up with just under 30 minutes remaining.
Leroy Sane looked to have completed the comeback and clinch the title, hitting an unstoppable shot from the right of goal on the 83rd-minute mark.
But Poulsen, subbed on with 30 minutes to go, chipped the ball over Urbig in the fifth minute of stoppage time to snatch a draw.
The result keeps Bayer Leverkusen's slim chances of defending their Bundesliga title alive.
Xabi Alonso's Leverkusen play at Freiburg on Sunday and need to win their three remaining games, with Bayern, who have a significant goal difference advantage, needing just a point to lift the title.
Leipzig grabbed the lead 11 minutes in when Sesko pounced on a mistake from visiting 'keeper Jonas Urbig, who was slipped while well outside of his penalty box, allowing the Slovenian to hit a long-range shot home.
Klostermann doubled Leipzig's lead shortly before halftime, heading in from a David Raum header.

Liverpool step up bid to land Leverkusen star Wirtz: reports
Liverpool have made an improved £109 million ($146 million) bid to sign Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Florian Wirtz, according to reports yesterday. The Premier League champions' second offer for Wirtz includes add-on clauses that would make him the most expen-sive signing in the club's history. Wirtz has also attracted interest from Bayern Munich and Manchester City, but it is believed he made it clear to Leverkusen that he wants to join Liverpool before next season. Lever kusen sporting director Simon Rolfes on Monday said Liverpool had 'concrete interest' in Wirtz. Leverkusen CEO Fernando Carro had previously insisted he would not let Wirtz leave for less than £125 million. The 22-year-old emerged as one of the most highly-rated young playmakers in Europe after helping Leverkusen win their first Bundesliga crown in 2023-24. Wirtz was named Bundesliga player of the season for his role in that triumph. He featured in 31 Bundesliga matches this season, scoring 10 goals as Leverkusen finished second behind Bayern in the title race. Wirtz has scored 57 goals in 197 games since making his Leverkusen debut aged just 17 after signing from Cologne in 2020. Liverpool boss Arne Slot is also reported to be close to signing Leverkusen right-back Jeremie Frimpong. The Reds are understood to have triggered a £30 million release clause for the Netherlands international and Frimpong is set for a medical with the Anfield club this week.
