BERLIN (AP) \u2014 Union Berlin defeated powerhouse Red Bull Leipzig 3-1 in the Bundesliga on Monday after consecutive goals early in the second half.<\/p>\n

Oliver Burke put Berlin ahead in the 57th minute with his first goal in nine games. However, Tydiam Gomis, who came on for Jannik Habeler just a minute before the break, equalized for Leipzig.<\/p>\n

The pendulum almost immediately swung back in Berlin’s direction when Christopher Trimmell found himself unmarked in Leipzig’s box and crossed for Ilyas Ansar on his way home.<\/p>\n

Tim Skulk then scored his third goal in stoppage time, ensuring all three points.<\/p>\n

It was Berlin’s first win after losing three consecutive league and cup matches, moving them up four places to eighth place.<\/p>\n

They have not lost a Friday night Bundesliga game since their first game in 2019 and have not lost in 11 games in a row.<\/p>\n

For second-placed Leipzig, the loss meant they missed a chance to close the eight-point gap with league leaders Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n

Borussia Dortmund, who are one point behind, will drop to third place if they win against Freiburg on Sunday.<\/p>\n
