Full-time: Leipzig 6-0 Cologne
A dominant response from Leipzig to Bayern Munich's 8-0 win over Darmstadt earlier. They even seemed to slip down a gear or two in the second half, but still find two more goals. Cologne were not at the races and remain stuck inside the bottom two with just one win and a draw all season.

Hit for six
Fortunately for Cologne, only thre minutes are being added on, and in the first of those, Baumgartner has added a sixth for the hosts. A beautiful finish from over 20 yard out, picking his spot to the right of the faultless Schwäbe.
89'
Super sub!
Šeško seals it, with the help of a few lucky bounces, but with the composure to finish it off with aplomb.
86'
All the twos
Olesen's statistics show that he had just two touches of the ball, two touches of an opposition player, and got two cards.
83'
Both coaches in the book
After the booking for Rose in the first half, Baumgart's warning means both coaches have seen yellow. Neither could keep a lid on it, though both have managed to keep a hat on.
80'
It never rains but it pours
It has been a tough day at the office for Cologne, and it is now even tougher after Olesen sees his second yellow card in the space of eight minutes.
78'
Rotation time
After winning in the Champions League in midweek, Leipzig are turning their attention to a tough DFB Cup trip to Wolfsburg on Tuesday and rotating their players. But when the calibre of Olmo and Šeško are springing from the bench, that says something about the strength in depth of this Leipzig squad.

Short shift for Olmo
Only seven minutes on the pitch and Olmo is back off it, and straight into the treatment room with a shoulder injury. The only blot on the copybook for Leipzig so far today.

Double change
Werner may not have really wanted to come off just yet, but it is actually an injury which has forced Rose to replace him. Meanwhile, Olmo is on and that cannot be good news for Cologne, with another attacking threat entering for the final half hour.

Olmo-st time
...for a Leipzig change. Dani Olmo's getting ready to come on.

One of those days
Selke nearly has a tap-in at the far post, but on a day like this, nothing is easy. Blaswich lunges in from nowhere and blocks the shot in front of the seemingly open goal.
53'
Werner close!
Schwäbe makes another great save to prevent Werner from getting his name on the scoresheet again. The German forward wants a second, Openda wants his hat-trick and there are many other motivated Leipzig players sensing an opportunity to score today.

New faces
Two changes for Cologne to start the second half, with Alidou and Kilian coming on. Can they help restore pride here for the Billy Goats?

Dominant Leipzig
Right from the get-go, Leipzig looked hungry for the points here. Although Cologne hit the post after Timo Werner's penalty, it has been all Leipzig and Openda's delightful goals have given them a comfortable half-time advantage.

Openda's second!
No respite for the Billy Goats as Openda makes it four with his second of the game. Xavi sends the ball to his feet and he does a little jig to switch it one way and another before seemingly passing it into the bottom corner. Great goal!

Cologne craving a break
Xavi sends the ball into the side-netting and Cologne will surely be desperate to hear that half-time whistle.
44'
And it is three!
The fans have not stopped singing "Leipzig's on fire" since Openda's strike, and now they are celebrating even more! Schwäbe's unfrotunate this time as he turns Raum's shot onto his own post, but the ball comes back and hits the Cologne custodian before bouncing in.
42'
Hammered home!
Schwäbe will not have seen much of that as Openda's absolutely ripped it into the top corner!
36'
Rose booked
Leipzig coach Marco Rose doffs his cap, albeit unintentionally. He gets worked up about something and earns a yellow card as his flailing arms dislodge his baseball cap. Those two Cologne chances will have caused concern, no doubt.
35'
Pinball and the post!
Cologne oh so close to an equaliser! First Waldschmidt's shot hits the post, then the ball bounces around the box before returning to him, and his next shot is saved! Two big chances for Cologne.

Cologne close to penalty
It's going to be a free-kick from the edge of the area for Cologne after Simakan sends Waldschmidt flying into the penalty area, but the contact was just outside the box.

Welcome back Werner!
What a way to mark his return to the starting XI! Werner takes the responsibility for the spot-kick, and slots it home.

Penalty Leipzig!
Haidara is brought down right in the corner of the penalty area, while he's heading away from goal! VAR checks it and the penalty is given.

Schwäbe under siege
Another corner for Leipzig as Scwäbe turns Xavi's dipping shot behind. The hosts getting their questions in early.

Openda attempt
The first shot of the game comes from Openda, but his angled shot is turned behind for a corner by Schwäbe.

Henrichs concern
Benjamin Henrichs is on the ground receiving treatment. He walks off a little gingerly and Leipzig may have to make an early change.

Here they come!
The two teams take to the field and, while the DJ may no longer be spinning the discs, the noise is still as loud!
Haidara returns
Like Werner, Haidara makes only his second start of the season today. The last time he started was on Matchday 8, with injury ruling him out of the first few weeks of the season. Leipzig won that game 3-1 against Darmstadt, if that's going to be an omen?

Leipzig smelling of Rose
Marco Rose has made the best start of any Leipzig head coach to date, with 78 points from his first 37 Bundesliga matches in charge (W24, D6, L7). Die Roten Bullen are unbeaten in the league since the Matchday 1 loss to leaders Bayer Leverkusen - their only defeat in their last 13 top-flight matches.
