Xabi Alonso’s second-half perfect storm leaves Bundesliga leaders with a five-goal deficit

There ain’t too many leagues out there as crazy as Bundesliga. Imagine, for instance, Manchester City conceding five against some EPL strugglers. Impossible? Pretty much, yes.Well, it happened today in Germany, as their until-Sunday table-toppers, Union Berlin, lost 5-0 to Bayer Leverkusen, who are vigorously fighting to avoid relegation.▪️El toque▪️La mano en el bolsillo▪️La eleganciaXabi Alonsopic.twitter.com/2cShbHPCJT— Manu Heredia (@ManuHeredia21) November 5, 2022 The latter are led by former Liverpool and Bayern Munich ace Xabi Alonso, who’s turning the tables since he arrived at the club that played in the Champions League finals some 20 years ago. This incredible Leverkusen victory – with all of the goals coming after the half-time break – detached the Berlin side from the summit, now two points adrift of none other than Bayern Munich.

Notably Moussa Diaby (23) with a great brace & Adam Hložek (18) with 1 goal + assist. pic.twitter.com/bWv46u5222— EuroFoot (@eurofootcom) November 6, 2022 Andrich netted almost straight after the teams returned from the dressing rooms, Moussa Diaby added a quick brace, and Hlozek definitely killed the game with 20 minutes left on the clock. Bakker poured in the fifth for a total embarrassment of the title contenders.Cameroonians Choupo-Moting and Moukoko score a brace each in super entertaining Bayern and Borussia winsBUNDESLIGAFridayM’ gladbach – Stuttgart 3-1 (2-1)/Hofmann 4, Thuram 25, Hermann 90+4 – Tomas 35/SaturdayAugsburg – Eintr.Frankfurt 1-2 (1-1)/Berisha 1, Rode 13, Knauff 64/Dortmund – Bochum 3-0 (3-0)/Moukoko 8, 45+2, Reyna 12(p)/Hertha – Bayern 2-3 (2-3)/Lukebakio 40, Selke 45 – Musiala 12, Choupo – Moting 37,38/Hoffenheim – RB Leipzig 1-3 (0-1)/Rutter 50 – Nkunku 17, 57, Olmo 69/Mainz – Wolfsburg 0-3 (0-1)/Wimmer 30, Arnold 70, Baku 84/Werder – Schalke 2-1 (1-0)/Fullkrug 29, Ducksch 76 – Drexler 86/SundayLeverkusen – Union Berlin 5-0 (0-0)/Andrich 47, Diaby 56, 58, Hlozek 68, Bakker 76/Freiburg – Koln IN PROGRESS
