RB Leipzig vs Celtic LIVE REACTION : Silva DOUBLE gives Germans victory as Celtic remain winless in Group F

RB LEIPZIG came out 3-1 victors over Celtic, who remain without a win in this season's Champions League.

Christopher Nkunku saw an early strike disallowed before rounding Joe Hart later in the first-half to see his side go in one goal up.

Jota equalised in the second period, getting onto a pull-back to convert before Dominik Szoboszlai thought he put Leipzig back ahead, just for the goal to be disallowed as an offside player affected Hart's view.

Andre Silva netted his first of the match just moments later to put his side ahead, capitalising on a mistake from the Celtic goalkeeper before adding his second as the Germans came out 3-1 victors.

    The Hungarian winger is receiving some treatment.

    Forrest comes on for Maeda.

    Haksabanovic comes on for O'Riley.

    Terrible error.
