Bayern Munich saved by Steven Zuber’s own goal against Hoffenheim

The Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich stumbled to a 1-1 home draw against Hoffenheim on Saturday but stayed three points clear at the top.

Bayern fell a goal behind when Kerem Demirbay’s thundering shot in the 16th minute left their goalkeeper Manuel Neuer rooted to the spot.

Hoffenheim were doing well to contain the Bavarians’ attacks but could do nothing when Steven Zuber slid into the box to clear a cutback from Douglas Costa but instead sent the ball into his own net.

Carlo Ancelotti’s men were more aggressive after the break with both Mats Hummels and Thomas Müller hitting the post, but Hoffenheim managed to hold on to snatch a point.

Bayern remain top on 24 points with RB Leipzig, in second spot on 21, hosting Mainz on Sunday. Hoffenheim are third on 20.
