BERLIN (AP) — Ivory Coast teenager Yan Diomande and Brazilian forward Rômulo helped Leipzig consolidate second place in the Bundesliga with a 3-1 win over Stuttgart on Saturday. The 18-year-old Diomande forced an own goal from Jeff Chabot before the break, then scored the second goal in the 53rd minute when he controlled Christoph Baumgartner’s punt forward and – despite facing two defenders – fired inside the right post. It was his second Bundesliga goal since joining Leipzig from Spanish team Leganes in the offseason.
