Leverkusen one win from Bundesliga title after Heidenheim stuns Bayern
Bayer Leverkusen is just three points from a first Bundesliga title after a 10 win at Union Berlin on Saturday, with Bayern Munich letting a 20 lead slip to lose 32 at Heidenheim.
Bayern was cruising with a twogoal lead at halftime thanks to strikes from Harry Kane and Serge Gnabry but conceded three times in the second half, losing its second match in a row.
Florian Wirtz converted a penalty in Leverkusen’s hardfought win, meaning Xabi Alonso’s side needs just three points from its remaining six matches to clinch a first league title in the club’s history.
