Ouch. That was some hit by Sane.

Fair play to Ginter for getting in the way of that and preserving his side's lead.

Ginter had to be put in the recovery position and some fans believed he had indeed been knocked out.

Fortunately, Ginter recovered and he was able to see out the full 90 minutes, despite some claiming he should have been taken off.

But Gladbach will be glad that he was able to stay on the pitch, though.

That's because the 26-year-old produced a heroic goal-line clearance in the 91st minute to ensure his side got all three points.

Ginter in action for Germany

It really was an action-packed night for the German defender.

That result leaves Gladbach 7th in the Bundesliga, having picked up 24 points from their opening 15 games.

Bayern remain in 1st, but they could be overtaken by RB Leipzig if they win their game in hand.
