RB Leipzig climbed top of the Bundesliga on Saturday with a 3-0 romp at Freiburg to replace previous leaders Bayern Munich.
Christopher Nkunku, Alexander Sorloth, and Emil Forsberg scored the goals in Freiburg which lifted Leipzig one point ahead of Bayern.
“That was a mature performance,” Leipzig sports director Markus Krosche told Sky.
“Anything is possible,” he replied when asked if Leipzig can stop Bayern winning a ninth straight league title this season.

The Norwegian, who scored the last-gasp winner over Monchengladbach a week ago, then set up Forsberg who banged in Leipzig’s third goal 11 minutes from time.
Third-placed Wolfsburg are now eight points adrift of Leipzig having stumbled to a 2-1 defeat at mid-table Hoffenheim whose striker Andrej Kramaric scored the hosts’ winning goal just before half-time.
