Excellent RB Leipzig deserved to beat Bayern - Heynckes

Ralph Hasenhuttl's side brought an end to the reigning champions' 18-game unbeaten run and fully deserved the three points, says the opposing coach

Jupp Heynckes admitted a below-par Bayern Munich deserved to be beaten by RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga on Sunday, their first loss of 2018.

Bayern had been unbeaten in 18 matches but goals from Naby Keita and Timo Werner saw Leipzig come from behind to claim the club's first win in this fixture.

Heynckes' men are 17 points clear of nearest rivals Schalke following their defeat, with title celebrations having to wait until after the international break, and the veteran Bayern coach had no arguments about his side's 2-1 loss.
