Benjamin Sesko equalled an Erling Haaland record with an audacious goal in Saturday’s Bundesliga match against Bayern Munich.
Benjamin Sesko scored from 40 yards in RB Leipzig ’s 3-3 Bundesliga draw with Bayern Munich at the Red Bull Arena on Saturday.
The Arsenal target, reportedly one of the men on Mikel Arteta’s centre-forward shortlist, opened the scoring in the rip-roaring draw.
RB Leipzig vs Bayern
Vincent Kompany’s men went into Saturday’s gameweek 32 fixture knowing that maximum points would seal their title success.
However, Sesko had other ideas when he scored after 11 minutes with a stunning trivela after receiving a trivela pass from Xavi Simons.

That goal means Sesko has struck in three straight fixtures against Bayern, a feat not achieved since Erling Haaland did likewise for Borussia Dortmund from 2020-2021.
The home side's advantage was doubled by Lukas Klostermann before the interlude, sending Kompany's men 2-0 down at the break.

Nevertheless, three second-half goals from Eric Dier, Michael Olise and Leroy Sane put the Bavarians 3-2 up and minutes away from their 33rd crown.
Still, Yussuf Poulsen had other ideas, scoring a 95th-minute equaliser for Leipzig to make the Bavarians possibly wait one more week to dethrone Bayer Leverkusen.
What’s next for Sesko?
Saturday’s strike was Sesko’s 13th Bundesliga strike this term in 31 appearances.
The Slovenian could add to that tally in next weekend's penultimate top-flight fixture at Werder Bremen.
