Gladbach 3-0 Leipzig: The Colts blaze 3 past slumping Red Bulls
B Mönchengladbach banked all three points against the RB Leipzig in a 3-0 victory on Saturday, at the Borussia Park.

Gladbach are now in 6th place, with 12 points from 7 matches, while Leipzig sit in 12th, with 8 points from 7.
Gladbach started the first half well, when Jonas Hofmann opened the rout in the 10th minute. The Colts then netted once more and increased their advantage thanks to a second effort from Jonas Hofmann in the 35th minute to secure a 2-0 win.
Gladbach started the second half with renewed vigour, when Ramy Bensebaini found the net, at 53 minutes. The match ended with a 3-0 home victory.
