Leverkusen's levels dropped in the second half and they will be disappointed with losing a clean sheet, but their first-half performance was exceptional. The Werkself showed their attacking verve again by scoring three goals, and they were far more solid at the back compared to last week against Paderborn. Bosz's men take their place alongside Dortmund, joint-top of the league with two wins from two.

The next goal is crucial here and as hard as Fortuna are trying to score it, the gaps are opening up at the back. Volland nicks the ball on the halfway line and crosses for Bellarabi, who shoots straight at Steffen. Meanwhile, Moussa Diaby is on for Bayer, and Funkel might consider taking off Baker, who has just received a final warning from the referee.

The Luton-born man has a tough afternoon, scoring the own goal and receiving a a yellow card moments ago. But he wins a free-kick after a strong run and he takes it himself, drawing a decent stop from Lukas Hradecky.

Leverkusen are three goals to the good and but for Steffen it would be four. Barely seconds after the restart, Bellarabi is sent clear in the penalty area and shoots low at goal, but Steffen's legs divert the ball behind for a corner. Meanwhile, Düsseldorf have made a change to try and claw a way back into the game by sending on the pacey Bernard Tekpetey for Süttner.

Kevin Volland, take a bow. He created the first goal with pure acceleration and he's made the second with some sublime dribbling to bamboozle Kevin Hoffmann and cross for Bellarabi to side-foot a neat finish past Steffen. This game may well be beyond the hosts now, who have offered very little threat in attack.

Fortuna were beginning to build up something of a head of steam, but some defensive carelessness has cost them here. Kerem Demirbay stands over a free-kick in a central position and floats a nice ball into the chest of Charles Aranguiz, who has all the time in the world to control and finish well. There is a VAR check for offside and a possible handball, but the legality of the goal is confirmed and Leverkusen have a two-goal lead. Friedhelm Funkel will be disappointed by losing a goal like that.

Leverkusen go close to a second goal! The corner comes in from the right and is met by Lars Bender, whose goalbound header is diverted off the goalline by Markus Süttner. That could be crucial, becase Leverkusen have looked comfortably indeed so far.

This game is barely a few minutes old but already Havertz has shown glimpses of his mercurial talent. He plays his part in a flowing team move with a classy touch and nutmegged pass into the path of Bellarabi, though the attack breaks down.

Volland has started this game really strongly and he forces home the opening goal with a storming run. The defender couldn't stay with him, Steffen couldn't stop the cross come in and Lewis Baker, on loan from Chelsea, couldn't stop himself putting the ball through his own net under pressure from Kerem Demirbay.

After a scrappy start to the game, it's to Leverkusen that the firs opportunity falls. Havertzs brings down a high ball with a beautiful touch and advances from the right-hand side. He slides a pass in to Volland, who turns and shoots but can only draw a comfortable save from Steffen.
