Granit Xhaka and Florian Wirtz had given Xabi Alonso's side a commanding 2-0 lead, but strikes from Nico Elvedi and Tim Kleindienst brought Gladbach level. Wirtz, though, scored in the 11th minute of injury time to extend Leverkusen's unbeaten league run to 35 matches.</p><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">35 league matches.

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>In addition to Leverkusen's remarkable unbeaten run, they also have a record of scoring 12 game-tying or go-ahead goals in injury time since the start of last season. In 2023/24, of course, Leverkusen lost just one game they played: the Europa League final. They went unbeaten in the Bundesliga and the DFB-Pokal. </p><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Bayer Leverkusen have 12 game-tying or go-ahead goals in 2nd-half stoppage time in all competitions since the start of last season 😨 <br><br>Inevitable. <a href="https://t.co/tftKyDfusI">pic.twitter.com/tftKyDfusI</a></p>— ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) <a href="https://twitter.com/ESPNFC/status/1827085912959861098?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 23, 2024</a></blockquote>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Leverkusen are next in action on Wednesday in a DFB-Pokal clash with Carl Zeiss Jena, who play in the fourth tier of German football. Their next Bundesliga fixture comes against RB Leipzig. </p>
