Bundesliga: Leverkusen crushes FC Augsburg 4-1

Bayer Leverkusen won 4-1 away at Augsburg to go to the top of the Bundesliga table, with the hapless home side gifting them two own goals in the first 14 minutes. FC Augsburg fell behind in the fourth minute when left-back Iago put the ball into his own net, and then fell behind again ten minutes later when Florian Niederlechner deflected a shot past his own goalie.

Niederlechner got one back in the 31st minute, grabbing the ball after a defensive blunder and shooting it into the back of the net to make it 2-1, but Leverkusen added two more goals in the second half through Patrik Schick and Florian Wirtz to secure a comfortable 4-1 victory. Leverkusen leads the league with seven points after three games, one more than Wolfsburg.
