Leverkusen’s 90th Minute Goal Puts Xabi Alonso on the Brink of Breaking an Incredible Record – Daily Star

Leverkusen twice equalized after falling behind. Centre-back Jonathan Tah scored to extend their unbeaten run to 30 games. During this run, Leverkusen won 26 games and scored 90 goals.

The reverse fixture at the Allianz Arena in September ended 2-2, with Leverkusen also scoring late on. Exequiel Palacios converted a penalty in the fourth minute of second-half stoppage time.

Should Leverkusen manage to not lose, they would equal the record away at mid-table Heidenheim and could then break it at home against relegation-threatened Mainz the following week. Alonso is seen as a natural fit to take over the Liverpool managerial position from Klopp this summer. Where would you rank Alonso among the best current managers?

He is within two games of matching Bayern Munich’s feat of 32 unbeaten games across all competitions and three games of beating it, making Leverkusen the second team in German football history to achieve this. Bayern Munich currently holds the record.
