Kovac slams Bayern defence after dramatic draw

Under-fire Bayern Munich coach Niko Kovac slammed his side's defending after they conceded twice late on to succumb to a dramatic 3-3 draw with Fortuna Dusseldorf in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

A Thomas Muller double along with a goal for Niklas Sule had handed the home side a 3-1 lead at the Allianz Arena heading into the final quarter-hour, but a subsequent brace from Dodi Lukebakio – including an injury time strike – to complete a remarkable hat-trick rescued a point for the visitors

Despite their two-goal advantage, Bayern threw bodies forward in the closing stages, twice allowing Lukebakio plenty of space to run into and coolly finish past an exposed Manuel Neuer.
