Leipzig, Germany: A Xavi Simons brace and a Benjamin Sesko stunner helped secure RB Leipzig a 4-2 home win over Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga on Sunday, with new Red Bull football boss Jurgen Klopp in the crowd.
The former Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund coach officially started as the Global Head of Football at Red Bull, Leipzig's parent company, on January 1.
Klopp was seen wrapped in a Red Bull-branded blanket in freezing conditions while celebrating Leipzig's goals, a day after watching from the stands at sister club Paris FC in the French capital.
The win took Leipzig back to fourth, level on points with third-placed Eintracht Frankfurt, but nine behind leaders Bayern Munich.
Leipzig welcomed back the dynamic Simons, who had been out since late October with an ankle injury.
