RB Leipzig thrashed Mainz for the second time in the season with Tino Werner ending his eight-game goalless run, scoring a hat-trick in away 5-0 victory. 

Mainz conceded 13 goals in two games versus RB Leipzig this season. After 8-0 in the reverse fixture, relegation candidates couldn't avoid another heavy defeat of Julien Nagelsmann's squad. 

Well, maybe they could, but Leipzig had an amazing day yesterday. They looked capable of scoring whenever they came near the Mainz's box. 

Pacey striker Werner scored three and made three assists when Leipzig triumphed in the 8-0 trashing back in November.

It took him now only 11 minutes in the game to find the target, with a calm near-post finish following the Konrad Laimer's assist. 

Dane Yussuf Poulsen and Austrian winger Marcel Sabitzer added two more in the first 45 minutes against a poor Mainz side. It was a three-nill result at half time.

Werner, who is on the radar of greatest European teams, made it 4-0 with another close-range shot, while his third goal in 75' was a nicely taken lob.
