Bayern Munich’s troubled Bundesliga season went from bad to worse on Saturday after a late collapse saw it draw 3-3 with Fortuna Duesseldorf, whose forward Dodi Lukebakio scored a hat trick.
Bavarians dropped nine points behind league leader Borussia Dortmund, which beat Mainz 2-1, while Leipzig’s 10-game unbeaten run ended in defeat at Wolfsburg.
Bayern coach Niko Kovac said he was “anything but happy” to see two late goals from second-from-bottom Duesseldorf, which last played Bayern in the Bundesliga back in 2013.
A day after making his loan deal from Barcelona permanent, Paco Alcacer scored his ninth Bundesliga goal in seven games for leader Dortmund.
The Spain striker came off the bench just two minutes before scoring the opening goal against Mainz. Robin Quaison made it 1-1 shortly after but Lukas Piszczek’s curling shot secured all three points for Dortmund.
Chasing its first title in seven years, Dortmund leads Bundesliga.
