Monchengladbach 1-3 RB Leipzig
Leipzig are the only side with a 100% winning record at the start of this season, and once again their star man was Timo Werner.

Breel Embolo scored a late consolation for the hosts, but Leipzig was too good.
Bayern Munich 6-1 Mainz
Mainz would have been disappointed with their effort in Munich over the past weekend, and their misery would have been compounded as they took an early lead through Jean-Paul Boetius. However, the opener on spurned Munich on and all six goals were scored by different players. Those among the scoring were Benjamin Pavard, David Alaba, Ivan Perisic, Kingsley Coman, Robert Lewandowski and Alphonso Davies.
Union Berlin 3-1 Borussia Dortmund

Butler restored Berlin’s lead in the second half before Sebastian Andersson made sure of the win 15 minutes from time.
Werder Bremen 3-2 Augsburg
