Marcel Sabitzer and Timo Werner both scored twice as RB Leipzig moved up to second place in the Bundesliga with a 6-0 thrashing of Nurnberg. It was to prove a second consecutive away drubbing for the visitors, who were beaten 7-0 by Borussia Dortmund at the end of last month. After falling 2-1 to Manchester City in the Champions League in midweek, Hoffenheim were beaten by the same scoreline at home to Eintracht Frankfurt. Ante Rebic and Luka Jovic gave the visitors a 2-0 lead before Rebic was sent off in the 64th minute for a second bookable offence. In the third Bundesliga game played on Sunday, mid-table Freiburg were held to a goalless draw by Bayer Leverkusen.
