"Bayer Leverkusen moved up to second in the Bundesliga after a ruthless first-half showing saw them down Wolfsburg 3-1 at Volkswagen Arena on Saturday. Kasper Hjulmand's side netted three times in the first half to take a commanding lead, though Denis Vavro's 57th-minute goal gave Wolfsburg some hope. Leverkusen needed just nine minutes to take the lead when Alejandro Grimaldo's cross flicked off Malik Tillman, with the ball rolling into the path of Jonas Hofmann to tuck home."
"The visitors doubled their advantage through Edmond Tapsoba's 24th-minute header, with the Leverkusen defender finding the bottom-right corner from Aleix Garcia's fine cross. Hjulmand's team pulled further clear in the 33rd minute when Patrik Schick's clever flick sent Tillman on his way, with the midfielder staying calm to slot past Kamil Grabara. Struggling Wolfsburg were quick out of the blocks after the break with Konstantinos Koulierakis and Dzenan Pejcinovic forcing stops from Mark Flekken."
