'Too Early To Say Bayer Leverkusen Out Of Title Race': Xabi Alonso
Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso said it was "too early" to write off his side's title defence despite dropping more points in Saturday's 2-2 draw at Werder Bremen. Leverkusen led twice but were pegged back on both occasions, including conceding their second in the 90th minute. Last season, Leverkusen dropped just 12 points on the way to an unbeaten Bundesliga title. However, Alonso's side have already dropped nine this campaign. They sit five points behind league leaders RB Leipzig but despite the setbacks, Alonso said his side still had time.
