Write off Bayer Leverkusen at your peril.

The Bundesliga’s runaway leaders were hit with two first-half goals in Azerbaijan which threatened to see their lengthy run truncated.

But the Werkself have form when it comes to snatching their current record out of the jaws of defeat, having done it before already this season.

And true to that form, Alonso’s men rallied after the interval in Baku with Florian Wirtz’s reducer offering hopes of extending their unbeaten streak.

It still took until the second minute of added time for Patrik Schick to deliver an all-important equaliser to keep Leverkusen’s impressive run intact.

Truly the mentality of giants!
