RB Leipzig 1-1 Paderborn: Timo Werner shows there's more to his game than goals as Chelsea-bound striker turns provider but visitors salvage unlikely draw with a late equaliser

Timo Werner turned provider to show there's more to his game than goals but a late Paderborn equaliser denied 10-man RB Leipzig a crucial victory.

The Chelsea-bound forward unselfishly set up Leipzig's opening goal, getting away down the left to provide a perfect cut-back for Patrik Schick to slot in his tenth goal of the season.

But Dayot Upamecano's red card just before half-time would prove to be costly as the visitors were rewarded for their perseverance with an unlikely point.
