Bundesliga Round-up: Werner helps Leipzig return to winning ways

The 21-year-old, who has just recovered from a neck injury, is set to feature for the world champions in high-profile friendly matches against England and France in the next 10 days after missing his country's matches last month.

On Saturday he set up Yussuf Poulsen's equaliser and then netted an 85th-minute winner after the Brazilian Jonathas had given the visitors the lead.

The result left Leipzig provisionally second in the table, one point behind defending champions and current leaders Bayern Munich and two points ahead of Borussia Dortmund in third.

Before kick-off on Saturday, Leipzig coach Ralph Hasenhuettl declared "this is a game which will be decided by mentality," and his team proved him right.

Having beaten Dortmund 4-2 last weekend, Hanover were on course for another major scalp when Jonathas fired home on 56 minutes against the run of play.

Werner earlier had a first-half effort disallowed for offside, then rattled the woodwork just before the break.

Liverpool-bound midfielder Naby Keita, who has been accused by German police of using a forged driving licence, helped turn the game when he came on for the final half hour.

Leipzig drew level when Werner's pass to Poulsen was tapped home by the Danish international at the far post with 20 minutes left.

Werner then grabbed the winner by rifling home a cross from substitute Emil Forsberg five minutes from time.

Elsewhere Schalke, who are now undefeated in their last six games in all competitions, climbed to fourth with a 1-0 win at Freiburg as Daniel Caligiuri scored the only goal against his old club.

Hamburg climbed out of the bottom three with a 3-1 win at home to Stuttgart, who had midfielder Dzenis Burnic sent off after just 13 minutes for two yellow cards.

Aaron Hunt put Hamburg ahead from a free-kick after a goalkeeping blunder by Ron-Robert Zieler, but Stuttgart levelled just after half-time when Daniel Ginczek converted a penalty.

However, Filip Kostic put Hamburg back in front and Germany Under-17 international Jann-Fiete Arp, with his second in two games, sealed the win.

Borussia Moenchengladbach dropped to seventh after their 1-1 draw at home to Mainz.

Mainz took the lead on 19 minutes through French defender Abdou Diallo, but Gladbach equalised when towering Danish centre-back Jannik Vestergaard headed home midway through the second half.

Mid-table Augsburg and Bayer Leverkusen shared the points in a 1-1 draw as Kevin Volland's strike just after the break was quickly cancelled out by Austrian defender Kevin Danso.
