It was a disappointing night for Celtic in Germany as they went down 3-1 to RB Leipzig, with the key second goal coming from their own error.
Jota had fired the Hoops level shortly after the break. Christian Nkunku opened the scoring after seeing an initial strike ruled out by VAR. The system came to Celtic’ s rescue again in the second half, ruling out Dominik Szoboszlai’s sweet effort due to Andre Silva blocking Hart’s view from an offside position.
31 seconds later however, it was 2-1. Hart tried to play from the back and gave away possession. He was punished by Silva, who slotted home to banish the disappointment he’d been feeling half-a-minute earlier. The Portuguese then finished off a fine team move from the hosts to put the game beyond Ange Postecoglou’s men and leave them propping up Champions League Group F ahead of next week’s meeting of the sides at Celtic Park.
