4 dribbles, one goal & more: Nkunku helps his team deal Real Madrid their first defeat of the season

RB Leipzig ended Real Madrid's unbeaten start to the season with a 3-2 win in the Champions League this week.

The 3 players to score were all linked to Chelsea in one way or another. Josko Gvardiol had been rumoured to be on the move to Chelsea this summer and got the opening goal on the night for Leipzig.

Former Blue Timo Werner scored Leipzig's final goal of the game, which turned out to the be match-winner, in the 81st minute.

Most importantly, Chelsea-bound Christopher Nkunku scored a goal in the 18th minute while also putting in an overall fantastic performance.
