Leipzig 2-0 Augsburg: Liverpool's incoming signing Naby Keita scores deflected free-kick as Ralph Hasenhuttl's side go second

RB Leipzig moved in to a place behind league leaders Bayern Munich after Ralph Hasenhuttl's side eased past Augsburg on Friday evening.

Leipzig's 19-year-old centre-back Dayotchanculle Upamecano scored his first ever goal as a professional after Marwin Hitz could only parry Yussuf Poulsen's fantastic overhead kick into the defender's path.

Naby Keita, who turns 23 on Saturday, doubled the hosts' lead in the second half as his free-kick took a deflection past the Augsburg goalkeeper.
