Leverkusen roar back to beat Stuttgart 4-3 and slash Bayern's lead
Bayer Leverkusen showed late fight yet again to turn a 3-1 loss into a 4-3 victory at VfB Stuttgart on Sunday as they cut Bayern Munich's lead at the top of the Bundesliga to six points.
Patrik Schick's winning header in injury time was reminiscent of so many late goals in their championship-winning season last term as they took advantage of Bayern's 1-1 draw at Union Berlin on Saturday.
Xabi Alonso's side only lost one game all season last term in the Europa League final.
They were on the brink of losing two straight Bundesliga games for the first time since February 2023 before Angelo Stiller's own goal went in on 88 minutes and Schick stooped to score.
Stuttgart's Ermedin Demirović had netted the opener on 15 minutes amid poor Leverkusen defending after Jamie Leweling's shot had been saved.
Nick Woltemade, who had a skilful part in the opener, then coolly slotted home for 2-0 early in the second half.
Jeremie Frimpong pulled one back with a low drive but an unlucky own goal from Granit Xhaka, when he ball bounced in off him after Lukas Hradecky had saved Demirović's effort, seemed to have doomed Leverkusen.
Piero Hincapié then fired in for 3-2 on 68 minutes before the late drama, which kept Stuttgart 10th. Just eight matchdays remain.
