Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz becomes Bundesliga's youngest ever scorer in Bayern defeat

Bayer Leverkusen teenager Florian Wirtz became the Bundesliga's youngest-ever goalscorer when netting a late consolation in his side's 4-2 defeat by Bayern Munich on Saturday.

Leverkusen went into the weekend's fixture at the BayArena with the opportunity to frustrate Bayern's title procession and bolster their own Champions League hopes.

But there was no stopping the rampant Bavarians, who ran out 4-2 winners to move 10 points clear of Borussia Dortmund at the Bundesliga summit ahead of BVB's clash with Hertha Berlin.

Lucas Alario gave the hosts an early lead before Hansi Flick's side stepped up the gears, with Kingsley Coman, Leon Goretzka, Serge Gnabry and Robert Lewandowski all finding the net to mark Bayern's ninth straight league triumph.
