RB Leipzig looked on course for victory against VfL Bochum when they led 3-0 at the break at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion on Saturday.

But much to the frustration of Leipzig coach Marco Rose, the Bundesliga's bottom side battled back to earn a 3-3 draw thanks to Myron Boadu's second-half hat-trick.

"We are very disappointed today," Rose told Sky.

"Not just today, but often this season, we've been too naive and we've put our own goals at risk. When I say naive, I mean, OK, we've got some young players. But it should still be possible to change and solve the problem," he continued.

“It is simply a matter of being willing to point out the dangers and opportunities to each other. As far as recklessness is concerned, for me it's a question of professionalism and attitude. We're talking about RB Leipzig, a Champions League club.”

The draw leaves Leipzig fifth in the Bundesliga.
