Leverkusen Stages Stunning 4-3 Comeback Against Stuttgart in Bundesliga Clash

Two late goals, including a stoppage-time header by Patrik Schick, keep Leverkusen in the Bundesliga title race, cutting Bayern Munich's lead to six points.

Bayer Leverkusen defeated VfB Stuttgart 4-3 with two goals in the final minutes, snapping a three-match losing streak across all competitions.
Patrik Schick scored the decisive goal in the fourth minute of added time after an 88th-minute own goal by Stuttgart's Angelo Stiller leveled the match.
The victory brings Leverkusen within six points of league leaders Bayern Munich, who drew 1-1 with Union Berlin on Saturday, with eight Bundesliga games remaining.
Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso praised the team’s resilience and described the win as a motivational boost for their title defense following a midweek Champions League exit to Bayern Munich.
Leverkusen's tactical adjustments, including reliance on physically strong forwards like Schick and Victor Boniface, proved instrumental despite the absence of injured star Florian Wirtz.
