Salomon Kalou scored as 10-man Hertha Berlin secured a surprise 3-2 win over RP Leipzig in Sunday's German Bundesliga encounter at the Red Bull Arena.

The visitors quickly saw their early momentum dealt a huge blow after Jordan Torunarigha was sent off in the seventh minute - two minutes after Davie Selke's early opener.

Unfazed by the numerical disadvantage, Kalou would, however, double their lead in the 31st minute benefitting from a Valentino Lazaro assist to grab his seventh league goal in 14 appearances this term. The 32-year-old had netted twice in their 3-1 win over Hannover 96 on Wednesday.
