Bayer Leverkusen claimed a shock 2-1 win at Bayern Munich yesterday to claim their first win at the Bavarians for 23 years as the Bundesliga leaders’ record winning streak came to an abrupt end.
Having set a German league record the previous weekend with their eighth straight win since the start of the season, Bayern were left stunned as defender Jerome Boateng scored a late own goal.
The visitors took the lead when Andre Schuerrle threaded his pass through to striker Stefan Kiessling who tapped in on 42 minutes.
Bayern levelled on 77 minutes thanks to a header from striker Mario Mandzukic, but Leverkusen were not to be denied.
