Super Eagles star Victor Boniface returns with a bang, scores in fourth consecutive game

Bayer Leverkusen failed to hold on to their one-goal advantage as Werder Bremen fought back to earn a draw despite Victor Boniface getting his name on the scoresheet.

Boniface returned to Xabi Alonso’s side after getting involved in a ghastly accident last week following Leverkusen’s win against Frankfurt.

The striker was fortunate to have escaped the horrific incident with only minor injuries after his car crashed.

However, he returned to the team like he never left and scored the first goal in Leverkusen’s 2-2 draw, making it his fourth consecutive goal this season.

As it happened

Super Eagles star Victor Boniface returned to the starting lineup after missing Bayer Leverkusen’s last game against Brest in the Champions League.

Xabi Alonso's side started the game with much intensity and got the reward in the 30th minute from a beautiful move by Jeremie Frimpong, who squared the ball to Victor Boniface before the striker hit a brilliant shot to beat Michael Zetterer.
