Bayer Leverkusen have moved eight points clear of Bundesliga rivals Bayern Munich as they go 32 games unbeaten across all competitions after Saturday’s win in Heidenheim.
A difficult game, Jeremie Frimpong opened the scoring for Xabi Alonso’s side before Amine Adli doubled his team’s lead. But it was a nervy-ending for Leverkusen after Tim Kleindienst pulled a goal back for the hosts with four minutes remaining.
Bayer Leverkusen’s unbeaten run of 32 games across all competitions equals Bayern Munich’s all-time German football record. With upcoming games against struggling Mainz and rivals FC Köln, that would could well go on a little longer.
Jeremie Frimpong’s incredible goal involvements
Against Heidenheim, Frimpong was one of B04’s most vibrant players in the game. His goal was a Leverkusen trade mark as he met the ball at the back post. In 21 games this season, the right-back is on seven goals and six assists.
