Leipzig sink Schalke, Fuellkrug's fine form continues
MUNICH: RB Leipzig won 2-0 at Schalke to pick up their first away points this season, while Werder Bremen forward Niclas Fuellkrug extended his scoring run to seven straight Bundesliga games.
RB Leipzig secured a 2-0 victory over Schalke, marking their first away points of the season, while Werder Bremen forward Niclas Fuellkrug extended his impressive scoring streak to seven consecutive Bundesliga games. In Gelsenkirchen, RB Leipzig's Antonio Nusa put his side ahead with a penalty in the 37th minute, and Romulo added a second goal with 12 minutes remaining to eliminate the promoted Schalke.
RB Leipzig, who have won all four of their home Bundesliga matches by an aggregate of 18-0, are now fourth in the standings, just one point behind third-placed Freiburg, who fought back from a first-half deficit to defeat Augsburg 2-1. Michael Gregoritsch put Augsburg ahead after 18 minutes, but Igor Matanovic equalised for Freiburg before Cyriaque Irie secured the winning goal with five minutes left on the clock.
Fuellkrug's goal was his seventh in a row since joining Bremen on a season-long loan from West Ham, equaling a club record set by Rudi Voeller in 1982-83.
