It was guest Greuther Fürth who struck first.
In the 45th minute, a penalty kick was awarded, which Swedish Branimir Hrgota managed in the best way.
But the table jumbo in the Bundesliga did not manage to hold on to its lead.
In the second half, Leipzig struck four times.
The Dane Yussuf Poulsen equalized before Emil Forsberg did as Hrgota and rolled in 2-1 from eleven meters.
The home team continued to scoop, Dominik Szoboszlai punctured the match with his 3-1 goal and incoming Hugo Novoa fixed the final score 4-1 with two minutes left of the regular playing time.
Three important points for Leipzig who are chasing the other top teams in the Bundesliga.
