Liverpool's supporters have taken to social media in their numbers this evening to discuss their excitement, following Naby Keita's match-winning performance for RB Leipzig versus Bayern Munich.

Matchup

The two sides went head to head in a Bundesliga clash earlier today, with hosts Leipzig having come into proceedings on the back of a 1-1 draw away to Russian giants Zenit St. Petersburg during the week, a result which saw the German outfit advance to the quarter-finals of the Europa League.

The league form of Ralph Hasenhüttl's men has been patchy at best to this point in the campaign, though, with Leipzig having sat in 6th-place before (and after) today's fixtures.

Bayern, meanwhile, dispatched of Besiktas in the second-leg of their Champions League tie on Wednesday night, advancing to the competition's final 8 with an incredible 8-1 aggregate win.

The Bavarians are also running away with the German top-flight, having sat 17 points clear of 2nd-placed Schalke before today.

2-1
Understandably, Bayern were labelled as clear favourites to take all 3 points back to Bavaria this afternoon, with an early strike from Sandro Wagner looking as though it had set Jupp Heynckes' men on their way to doing just that.

However, inspired by talisman Naby Keita, Leipzig fought back in hugely impressive fashion, with Keita netting his side's equalizer in the 37th-minute before setting up the prolific Timo Werner for the game's decisive goal 10 minutes after the interval.
