Bayer Leverkusen 4 - 3 VfB Stuttgart: Leverkusen hit back to stun Stuttgart in seven-goal thriller



Posted Sunday, October 25, 2015 by PA

Bayer Leverkusen twice came from two goals down in a thrilling second half to snatch a dramatic 4-3 win at home to Stuttgart.

Martin Harnik and David Didavi put the visitors two goals to the good early in the second period, but Karim Bellarabi came off the bench and, with his first touch, brought Leverkusen back into the game.

Lukas Rupp restored the visitors' two-goal lead on the hour mark from Timo Werner's cross with his first Bundesliga goal.

But Leverkusen, who came from 4-2 down in the closing stages to snatch a point against Roma in the Champions League in midweek, hit back again with two goals in as many minutes from Sebastian Boenisch and Javier Hernandez.

The Werkself were now in the ascendency and their pressure was ultimately rewarded with the winner in the 89th minute when Admir Mehmedi drilled the ball home to leave Stuttgart languishing in the bottom three.
