Diomande sparkles in Leipzig's win over Stuttgart
Teenager Yan Diomande scored once and helped set up another goal as RB Leipzig beat Stuttgart 3-1 to snap its opponent's five-match winning streak and climb back into second place in the Bundesliga.
Ole Werner's team, which has now won seven of its past eight league matches, took a 45th-minute lead courtesy of Jeff Chabot's own goal when he tried to clear Ivory Coast international Diomande's powerful cutback.
The 18-year-old then turned scorer seven minutes after the restart, firing in despite being surrounded by three Stuttgart defenders and leaving keeper Alexander Nuebel frozen on the spot.
The hosts eased off and paid the price when substitute Tiago Tomas slipped into the box to cut the deficit in the 65th minute but a blunder by Nuebel in stoppage time allowed Romulo Cardoso to slot in and kill off the game.
Leipzig is second on 22 points, five behind leader Bayern Munich, which stayed perfect thanks to a win over Bayer Leverkusen later in the day.
Stuttgart dropped to fourth on 18 points.
