Bayer Leverkusen cruise past Nuremberg

Bayer Leverkusen beat Nuremberg 3-0 in the Bundesliga, with Son Heung-Min scoring twice.

Bayer Leverkusen have made short work of Nuremberg to continue their impressive start in the Bundesliga.

It was a good start from Nuremberg as Hiroshi Kiyotake was causing trouble with his movement, but they could not create a genuine chance when on top.

Jens Hegeler for Bayer was the first to test either goalkeeper, but his shot when well placed was far too central to go in.

Leverkusen got themselves on top of the game as the half wore on and Son Heung-Min, after being found by Gonzalo Castro, curled a neat finish into the corner for 1-0.

Then just after the interval it was 2-0 to the hosts, courtesy of Stefan Kiessling's neat finish from around the penalty spot.

Leverkusen remained on top and Son grabbed a deserved second with a powerful finish after once more being set up by Castro as his side ran out comfortable winners.
