News Now: Victor Boniface rated man of match after Bayer Leverkusen beats Heidenheim 4-1 in the Bundesliga…..

Leverkusen dominated from the off with its slick passing style and Boniface opened the scoring in the ninth minute when he picked up a pass from Exequiel Palacios with his back to goal, turned and beat defender Tim Siersleben and slotted the ball past goalkeeper Kevin Müller.

Heidenheim leveled with a goal from Eren Dinkçi in the 58th, despite an apparent foul by Siersleben in the buildup, before Leverkusen reasserted control with three goals in 19 minutes.

A through-ball from Palacios split the Heidenheim defense for Jonas Hofmann to score in the 63rd, before Boniface converted a penalty following a foul from Lennard Maloney on Alejandro Grimaldo.

Leverkusen finished off the game in style, transitioning from defense to attack with two pinpoint long-range passes before Amine Adli scored the fourth with a lob over Müller.

Eintracht Frankfurt had its fourth Bundesliga draw in a row as its game with Freiburg finished 0-0 with new German national team coach Julian Nagelsmann watching.
