RB Leipzig join Bayern Munich at the top of Bundesliga after beating Mainz

RB Leipzig joined Bayern Munich at the top of the Bundesliga table after notching up a comfortable 3-1 win over Mainz at the Leipzig Arena.

Timo Werner scored either side of an Emil Forsberg strike as Ralph Hasenhuttl's side dominated from start to finish.

The only blot on their copybook was Stefan Bell's consolation, but that did not prevent Leipzig from moving onto 24 points from their first 10 games in the Bundesliga, and Bayern now lead on goal difference.

Bobby Wood sent off as Cologne dispatch Hamburg

Anthony Modeste scored a second-half hat trick as Cologne eased past 10-man Hamburg 3-0 at the RheinEnergieStadion on Sunday.

U.S. international Bobby Wood was sent off before the hour-mark for elbowing Cologne defender Dominique Heintz in the stomach after some shoving between the two while waiting for a free kick. Referee Benjamin Brand didn't see the incident but showed Wood the red card after consulting with his linesman.

And Modeste immediately took advantage of his absence, scoring a goal in the 61st, then adding two more in the final 10 minutes to put the game comfortably out of reach for the reeling visitors.

The victory moves Cologne to fourth place -- one point behind Hoffenheim -- in the Bundesliga table after nine rounds.
