RB Leipzig‘s Yussuf Poulsen scored a stoppage-time goal to snatch a 3-3 draw against Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich on Saturday and delay Harry Kane‘s capture of a first career trophy.
Poulsen struck seconds before the end to leave Bayern on 76 points, nine ahead of champions Leverkusen, who travel to Freiburg on Sunday. Bayern, with two games left to play, will secure their 34th league crown should Leverkusen fail to win.
It was supposed to be triumphant afternoon for Bayern but they found themselves on the back foot from the start with the hosts piling on early pressure.
Leipzig had two big chances before Benjamin Sesko completed a one-pass quick break from Xavi Simons with a superbly curled shot past keeper Jonas Urbig in the 11th minute.
With the Bundesliga’s leading scorer Kane, desperate to clinch the first major title of his career, suspended and watching from the stands, the visitors were toothless in attack.

It got even worse for them six minute before the break when Lukas Klostermann easily beat his marker to head in a David Raum free kick and double Leipzig’s lead.
Bayern turned things around after the break, however, with Eric Dier heading in Michael Olise‘s corner at the near post and Olise rifling in the equaliser a minute later.
They thought they had done enough to secure the title when Leroy Sane struck seven minutes from time, but Poulsen spoiled the party.
