Bayer Leverkusen Continues Bundesliga Dominance with 4-0 Victory

Xabi Alonso's Leverkusen Extends Unbeaten Streak

Florian Wirtz Penalty Seals Triumph over Union Berlin

Bayer Leverkusen's impressive start to the Bundesliga season continued on Saturday, as they demolished Union Berlin 4-0 at the BayArena. After a goalless first half, the hosts turned on the style in the second period, with Florian Wirtz's penalty breaking the deadlock. Moussa Diaby, Callum Hudson-Odoi, and Adam Hložek added further goals to secure a dominant victory.

Leverkusen's victory sees them climb to within one win of the Bundesliga title, having now gone 11 matches unbeaten under coach Xabi Alonso. The former Bayern Munich and Real Madrid midfielder has instilled a new sense of belief in the Leverkusen squad, and they are now playing with a confidence and swagger that has been missing in recent seasons.

Union Berlin, on the other hand, were unable to maintain their own impressive start to the campaign. The promoted side had won their previous three away matches, but they were outclassed by Leverkusen on Saturday. They remain in seventh place in the standings, but they will need to improve their away form if they want to challenge for a European spot.
