LEVERKUSEN, Germany: Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen outplayed champions Bayern Munich for a 3-0 victory on Saturday (Feb 10) that sent them five points clear at the top of the league and put them firmly in charge of the title race. Goals from Josip Stanisic, Alejandro Grimaldo and Jeremie Frimpong made sure of the three points as Leverkusen, who have never won a Bundesliga title, stretched their unbeaten run to 31 matches across all competitions this season. Bayern, chasing a 12th straight league crown, were nowhere to be seen and managed only a single shot on target over the 90 minutes. Xabi Alonso's team, who also twice hit the woodwork, are now on 55 points, with Bayern in second place on 50. The hosts were more aggressive than Bayern who initially had possession but lacked attacking ideas.
