With the game effectively wrapped up, the Leverkusen head coach shuffles his pack.

That should be that, as Schick slots into the corner in similar to Wirtz's opener - this time, Leverkusen's number 10 provides the assist.

The hosts are awarded a penalty after Grimaldo's cross is handled by Weigl, and Wirtz makes no mistake from 12 yards to take his tally to nine for the campaign in the Bundesliga. Gladbach now have a mountain to climb.

Nicolas's produces a fantastic stop to keep out Grimaldo's strike.

Tella almost finds the top corner from the edge of the area. Ultimately, though, it drifts narrowly over.

A fantastic goal from Leverkusen's star man to give his side the lead. Gladbach look to attack, but they lose the ball in the middle of the park and the number 10 is immediately released. After putting the ball through Itakura's legs, he nonchalantly slots past Nicolas.

Tapsoba can't keep his first-time effort from outside the area down, and it is therefore a shot that Nicolas can watch fly over the bar.

Nicolas holds Schick's header - that was Leverkusen's first shot on target of the encounter.

Andrich doesn't get enough curl on his effort as it goes past the post.

Schick can't quire direct Grimaldo's cross towards goal. It is clear that the home side are looking to find the in-form striker as much as possible.

Terrier is forced off inside the opening 10 minutes, so Hincapié comes on to replace him.

Schick can't quite get on the end of Terrier's lovely inswinging cross as it goes out for a goal-kick.

The hosts have seen plenty of the ball early on as they look to break the Foals down.
