Reported Liverpool target Timo Werner scored a hat-trick this weekend as RB Leipzig brushed aside Bundesliga rivals Mainz in a 5-0 demolition.
The German opened his account in the tenth minute with a deft finish, before bagging his second goal thanks to an brilliant bit of play by teammate Kevin Kampl.
A free-kick taken quickly by Yussuf Poulsen found Werner in space and he completed his hat-trick, exposing Florian Muller’s shambolic goalkeeping.
