Leverkusen back to winning ways, Leipzig go top in Bundesliga

Victor Boniface and Robert Andrich made up for earlier blunders when they lifted Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen to a 2-1 comeback victory over in-form Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday.

Andrich netted a 25th-minute equalizer after earlier conceding a penalty league top scorer Omar Marmoush converted for Frankfurt's lead. Boniface failed to convert from the spot early on but then headed the winner in the 72nd.

Leverkusen got a first victory after two draws and rose into fourth past Frankfurt, whose unbeaten run ended after five games.

RB Leipzig are three points ahead of Leverkusen and top for at least a few hours thanks to a clinical 2-0 in Mainz from Xavi Simons and Willi Orban. Freiburg are second courtesy of a 3-1 success over Augsburg.

Bayern Munich can return to the top on goal difference if they beat last season's runners-up VfB Stuttgart in Saturday's late game.

Elsewhere, Borussia Mönchengladbach beat Heidenheim 3-2 and Hoffenheim prevailed 3-1 over bottom club Bochum.

Borussia Dortmund defeated St Pauli Hamburg 2-1 on Friday. The Sunday games are Holstein Kiel v Union Berlin and Wolfsburg v Werder Bremen.
