Bayer Leverkusen v Bayern Munich live – Bundesliga latest as Xabi Alonso's unbeaten leaders extend advantage at top with one-sided victory

Tuchel and his technical staff will be really disappointed to ship that opening goal. Looked like they were waiting for a whistle or something before Stanisic converted the finish. What have they got in response?

Josip Stanisic slams the ball into the net from close range from the Robert Andrich cross. Bayern all over the place seconds after Amine Adli had seen his shot saved by Manuel Neuer.

Battles are keenly contested, but neither side really finding their range as Kane is crowded out by a home shirt as he danced into the Leverkusen box.

A chance at the other end for Leon Goretzka, but he leans back from 22 yards out and lifts the finish well over the bar. Decent creative play by the visitors.

Amine Adli bursts into the Bayern box with some real intent. Fires shot at goal, but Manuel Neuer is alert to make the stop.

Florian Wirtz attempting to charge through the middle of the visiting defence, but Dier is on hand to make a telling clearance. Had to be alert to close down that danger. Remember two points the lead for Leverkusen at the summit.

A real frisson and sense of expectation among the home fans. No chances as yet. Is that a mark of respect? Or a cancelling out of each other? A real dogfight for possession in midfield.

Both of these teams are wary of what the other side could produce this evening. Just feeling out the conditions with Alonso and Tuchel very much students of the game as well as being great coaches.

The German champions keeping possession and move the ball from side to side with some relish. Nathan Tella is penalised for taking out Boey with a late challenge.
