Leverkusen win seven-goal thriller

Substitute Leon Bailey scored one late goal and made another as Bayer Leverkusen sealed a stunning 4-3 win over Borussia Dortmund to deny the visitors the chance to go second in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

Bailey came on for the final 20 minutes with his side 3-2 down and after slottting home the equaliser, the Jamaican winger’s audacious backheel led to Lars Bender heading in Leverkusen’s winner.

It was the first time Dortmund teenager Erling Braut Haaland had failed to score for his new club after hitting eight goals in his first four games.

Leverkusen are now fifth while Dortmund stay third.

However, Borussia could finish the weekend six points behind Bayern Munich if the defending champions beat second-placed RB Leipzig at home on Sunday.

The goals flew at the BayArena with three disallowed efforts on top of the two Kevin Volland also scored for Leverkusen.

Mats Hummels, Emre Can -- who was making his Dortmund debut -- and Raphael Guerreiro netted Dortmund’s goals.

Former Liverpool and Juventus midfielder Can scored a stunning goal to put Dortmund 2-1 up in the first half.
