Bayer Leverkusen Defeat Wolfsburg To Edge Closer To First Bundesliga Title
Nathan Tella and Florian Wirtz scored as Bayer Leverkusen beat 10-man Wolfsburg 2-0 on Sunday to edge their team closer to a maiden Bundesliga title. Bayern Munich's 8-1 win over Mainz on Saturday, including Harry Kane's fourth hat-trick of the season, had cut the gap to seven points. Now, with nine games remaining, Leverkusen, who are still unbeaten in all competitions this season, sit 10 points ahead. "It wasn't easy, but it was highly deserved," said Leverkusen's Granit Xhaka. "I'm sure the fans would have wished for more goals, but three points are three points."
