Kimmich Rescues Point For Leaders Bayern Munich

Joshua Kimmich scored a late equaliser for Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich at home to Cologne in a disappointing 1-1 draw. 

Ellyes Skhiri’s fourth-minute volley had looked as if it would give Cologne victory.

But Bayern dominated from then on and Kimmich struck from outside the box in stoppage time to rescue a point.
