The keeper did see the ball bounce in front of him but failed to deal with it. Muller tried to palm the ball away but merely deflected it into his own net.
Szoboszlai on fire
While Muller fielded a lot of the blame for the first goal, there was no denying that Szoboszlai deserved credit for the second. The Leipzig star volleyed the ball into the bottom corner of the net in the 49th minute of the game to give the hosts a 2-0 lead.

Szoboszlai's brace was only the second time that he's scored a brace in the Bundesliga. Ironically, the last time he scored two in a game, it was against Stuttgart as well.
