Boniface, who had been a standout performer earlier in the season, was demoted to the bench following his lacklustre performance at Anfield.

He played just 13 minutes in Bochum, while Tella contributed 26 minutes off the bench.
Boniface, who had been enjoying a prolific season with nine goals prior to the Liverpool match, faced criticism for missing key opportunities during the Champions League clash.
His performance at Anfield was particularly disappointing, leading to speculation about his current form and fitness.
Coach Xabi Alonso opted to start without him in the lineup against Bochum, indicating a shift in strategy as Leverkusen aimed to bounce back from their European woes.
Despite his brief appearance against Bochum, Boniface was unable to make a significant impact, and Leverkusen's struggles continued as they failed to secure a win.
The draw leaves them trailing behind their rivals in the Bundesliga title race.
Nathan Tella also faced challenges during the match but managed to contribute more minutes than Boniface.
His role on the right flank has been pivotal for Leverkusen this season, although he too could not change the outcome of the match against Bochum.
Both Boniface and Tella will need to find their rhythm again if they hope to help their team regain its winning form.
With pressure mounting in the Bundesliga, fans will be watching closely to see how these Super Eagles forwards respond in upcoming fixtures.
