Christopher Nkunku celebrated his goal by blowing up a balloon

Christopher Nkunku scored as Leipzig beat Eintracht Frankfurt to win the German Cup for the second season in a row.

The France forward's shot from 16 yards took two deflections before wrong-footing goalkeeper Kevin Trapp, for his 23rd goal of the season.

The 25-year-old has been widely linked with a move to Chelsea.

Nkunku also picked out Dominik Szoboszlai to fire in a late second for Leipzig at Berlin's Olympiastadion.

Leizpig, who were only formed 14 years ago, have reached four of the past five finals - losing in 2019 and 2021 and beating Freiburg last year for their first major trophy.
