Bundesliga: Boniface seals Bayer Leverkusen’s comeback in seven-goal thriller

Victor Boniface scored a dramatic injury-time winner as Bayer Leverkusen edged out 10-man Wolfsburg 4-3 at the BayArena.

Leverkusen came from behind twice in the tense encounter, with Wolfsburg initially taking the lead just four minutes in after a Nordi Mukiele own goal.

Florian Wirtz responded ten minutes later, leveling the score with a well-placed shot from the edge of the box.

Leverkusen seemed to gain control when Jonathan Tah headed in a corner from Alejandro Grimaldo in the 32nd minute to put them 2-1 up.

However, Wolfsburg quickly fought back. Sebastiaan Bornauw equalized five minutes later from a corner.

Just before halftime, Mattias Svanberg’s long-range strike gave Wolfsburg a 3-2 lead.

The second half saw Leverkusen dominate possession, with Piero Hincapié making it 3-3 after heading in from a corner early in the half.

Substitute Boniface had a strong chance saved by Wolfsburg keeper Kamil Grabara, but he went on to have the final say, netting the winning goal in the 93rd minute.

Leverkusen’s win keeps them three points behind Bayern Munich, who remain unbeaten after a 5-0 victory over Werder Bremen on Saturday.
