Victor Boniface scored a stoppage-time winner to give Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen a thrilling 4-3 win over Wolfsburg on Sunday.
The Nigerian striker scored a 93rd-minute winner, with Leverkusen having to come from 3-2 down after Wolfsburg scored twice in the space of nine minutes at the end of the first half.
Wolfsburg were reduced to 10 men in the dying stages when Yannick Gerhardt sunk his studs into Jeremie Frimpong’s calf.
Boniface, who came on with 22 minutes remaining, collected a pass before pivoting on the spot and shooting home to snatch the German champions another late victory, providing a perfect boost ahead of next week’s trip to Bayern Munich.
Speaking after the game, the Super Eagles striker said, “We knew how Wolfsburg would play and what we were up against.
“We really wanted to turn the game around for our fans. We managed to do that. Now, of course, we’re very happy.”
The 23-year-old has now scored three goals with one assist in four league matches this season.
