Patrik Schick Thwacks Brilliant Volley Goal Against Bayern Munich

Schick scored a venomous strike early in the first half but his opener was predictably wiped out by Robert Lewandowski before half time.

Patrik Schick scored with a brilliant volley on Saturday evening, as Bayer Leverkusen took a lead against Bayern Munich.

Death, taxes and Bayern winning the league in Germany seem to be only a few of the guarantees in life but so far this season Hansi Flick's side are being tested at least.

The European champions went into Saturday's game against Bayer Leverkusen behind their rivals by a point in the league table.

Bayer managed to heap more pressure on Bayern, as they took the lead early in the first half, through a fantastic strike from Schick.

A corner in the 13th minute was played short but was then crossed in towards the former Roma forward who had time to line up the perfect volley past Manuel Neuer.



Of course there's a reason Hansi Flick's side are attempting to win their ninth league title in-a-row and the lead didn't even last until half time for Peter Bosz's side.

Robert Lewandowski, fresh off winning the FIFA Best Men's Player award on Thursday night, scored on 43 minutes.

Just as it looked like Bayer would earn a point and remain unbeaten in the league Lewandowski struck in the 93rd minute to earn all three points for Bayern. The result takes them top, two points clear of today's opponents and RB Leipzig, and it wouldn't surprise anyone if they remain there until May.
