Leipzig are flying high in the Bundesliga's top four and are sitting pretty on top of the group after earning a crucial win over Zenit in their last meeting in Germany.

Zenit can hardly afford a defeat with Lyon and Benfica both in the hunt in what is one of the most competitive groups in the entire competition. Follow all the latest updates below:

FT: Zenit 0-2 RB Leipzig

A very professional performance from Leipzig, who end Zenit's unbeaten run at home this season.

Diego Demme and Marcel Sabitzer scored the goals as the Bundesliga side tighten their grip at the top of Group G.

It leaves Zenit with a lot of work to do to qualify.
