Outgunned Celtic were handed a Champions League lesson in finishing by RB Leipzig as Joe Hart paid the price for his ultimate goalkeeping howler.
The Englishman's disastrous distribution teed Leipzig up to take the lead en route to a 3-1 victory over their Group F opponents. The Germans also had two goals ruled out by VAR. But Christopher Nkunku's strike before a brace from Portugal international Andre Silva cancelled out Jota's leveller.
Ange Postecoglou cut a frustrated figure on a night his side were wasteful in front of goal and slapstick in closing stages. But he knows there's an opportunity for a quick fix when the sides meet next Tuesday. Celtic now prop up the group and trail both Leipzig and Shakhtar by two points. Angeball is never a dull affair and it was abundantly clear from the off that a breathless encounter lay in store. Within 90 seconds, Timo Werner's slaloming run caused panic in the visitors' box but Joe Hart was left delighted as Nkunku's deft flick only resulted in a tame Andre Silva effort which landed in Joe Hart's arms.
