Bayer Leverkusen delivered a ruthless first-half performance, striking three times in just seven minutes, to leave hosts Eintracht Frankfurt reeling with a 4-1 victory in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

Xabi Alonso's team set the pace from the start and steadily gained control of the game. Granit Xhaka played a key role in orchestrating Leverkusen's attacks, and his sharp vision led to the opening goal in the 26th minute.

Bayer 04 made it 29 Bundesliga away games in a row without defeat thanks to a commanding 4-1 win at Eintracht Frankfurt. Nathan Tella, Nordi Mukiele and Patrik Schick handed the Werkself a 3-0 lead before Hugo Ekitike got one back for the hosts prior to half-time.
