Schick salvages point for leaders Leipzig in Dortmund thriller

Patrik Schick snatched a draw for RB Leipzig in a pulsating 3-3 draw at title rivals Borussia Dortmund that moved them three points clear at the top of the Bundesliga.

Timo Werner also struck twice on Tuesday as Leipzig twice came from behind twice in the second half in a fiery encounter played out in torrential rain at Signal Iduna Park.

The draw means third-placed Dortmund missed the chance to move second ahead of Borussia Moechengladbach, who can join Leipzig on 34 points with a win over bottom side Paderborn on Wednesday.

"The game opened up after the break and we played with more courage and emotion," said Leipzig coach Julian Nagelsmann.

"In the future, we need to make sure that we play like that from the beginning of big games like this.

"It was a lucky point for us. Dortmund could have defeated us, but they didn't."
