Bayer Leverkusen won the first Bundesliga title in their history with a 5-0 win over Werder Bremen on Sunday (Apr 14), securing the championship with five games to play.

The run now stands at 43 in all competitions.
Undefeated Bayer Leverkusen have secured their first Bundesliga title with a 5-0 victory over Werder Bremen, breaking an 11-year stranglehold on the league by Bayern Munich.
Xabi Alonso’s team, who have now gone a league-record 29 matches without defeat this season to secure their first trophy since 1993, have a 16-point lead over Bayern with five matches remaining.
They can add more titles this season, having reached the German Cup final and the Europa League quarterfinals, where they have a 2-0 first-leg advantage over West Ham United.
Leverkusen left nothing to chance and sealed their title win at the first opportunity with Florian Wirtz bagging a hat trick in a win that stretched their unbeaten run across all competitions to a remarkable 43 games this season.
Leverkusen's maiden title win, coming after five second-place finishes in their history, keeps their dream of a remarkable treble alive this season.
