Bayer Leverkusen restore Bundesliga lead with win against 10-man Wolfsburg

Leverkusen restored their 10-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga table with a 2-0 home victory over 10-man Wolfsburg.

Moritz Jenz was sent off after receiving a second yellow in the 28th minute at BayArena before Nathan Tella nodded the hosts into a first-half lead.

Wolfsburg did well to defend despite being a man down for the majority of the match, but were under pressure throughout a second half in which it always felt like a second goal for the hosts would come.

They left it late, but Florian Wirtz netted in the 86th minute to ensure Leverkusen extended their unbeaten run to 36 matches across all competitions.
