Borussia Mönchengladbach and 1. FC Köln played out a thrilling draw in their Bundesliga clash on Sunday, with the hosts drawing level through a goal from substitute Plea but then succumbing to a late equaliser.

The match started off at a frenetic pace, with both teams creating numerous chances early on. However, it was the visitors who eventually took the lead through a well-taken goal from substitute Plea in the 45th minute.

However, the home side were not going down without a fight and they responded strongly, with substitute Plea scoring again in the second half to pull one back for Gladbach.

Despite this, Köln were unable to hold onto their advantage and conceded an equaliser deep into stoppage time through a powerful strike from their substitute player.

Despite the disappointment, Gladbach can take some positives from the game, with Plea continuing his impressive form for the club. The German striker has been in top form recently and has already scored three goals in just four league appearances this season.
