James Rodriguez and Robert Lewandowski scored as Bayern Munich went top of the Bundesliga table on Saturday with a 2-0 home win against RB Leipzig, who played most of the game with 10 men.
This was Bayern’s second win over RB in four days after they won on penalties in Leipzig in midweek in the German Cup.
Leipzig had Naby Keita sent off in the second half of that game and another red card handicapped them at the Allianz Arena, with captain Willi Orban being dismissed after just 13 minutes.
Orban was shown a straight red card for fouling Arjen Robben, who was through on goal, before James and Lewandowski netted for the hosts.
A fine evening for Bayern was marred by a thigh injury to Lewandowski that forced him off before half-time and which could compromise his chances of playing in Tuesday’s Champions League match at Celtic.
Nevertheless, the victory takes Bayern top of the Bundesliga for the first time this season, three points ahead of Borussia Dortmund who earlier crashed 4-2 at Hanover 96.
Leipzig remain third, four points behind the leaders.
They were looking to avenge Wednesday’s German Cup defeat but were quickly reduced to 10 men when Robben went to ground after a push from Orban on the edge of the area.
The referee checked the video before getting out the red card, just before Leipzig goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi pulled off a stunning save to deny stand-in captain Robben from the resulting free kick.
Nevertheless, Bayern took the lead five minutes later when Robben’s cross was smashed home by James.
Lewandowski made it 2-0 on 38 minutes when a perfectly-timed pass by Javi Martinez was finished by the Poland hot-shot.
After Lewandowski limped off, Bayern struggled to finish their chances after the break while Leipzig defended doggedly.
The visitors were then reduced to nine men for the final five minutes when Keita limped off after they had already made their three substitutions.
