Tricky goals from Robert Andrich and Patrik Schick kept Bayer Leverkusen’s unbeaten record alive this season with a 2-1 home win over Hoffenheim on Saturday.
A first-half strike from Maximilian Baier put Hoffenheim on course to break Leverkusen’s unbeaten streak, which now stands at 39 games, just one day after in-demand manager Xabi Alonso pledged his future to the club.
But as they have done regularly this season, Leverkusen fought back late on when Andrich leveled the scores in the 88th minute, before a Schick volley in stoppage time sealed another remarkable comeback victory.
The victory puts Leverkusen 13 points ahead of Bayern Munich, who play Borussia Dortmund later on Saturday, with seven games remaining this season.
