Werkself also hold their own against Frankfurt

Three goals, three points. Bayer beat Eintracht Frankfurt 3:0 in the penultimate league match of the calendar year and once again impressed with their play. Even if our curve has incited a great chorus, the fact remains: after half a year, nobody has yet won the title. On Wednesday against Bochum and next year we have to continue at full throttle.

Nevertheless, there are reasons to celebrate, as the Werkself have once again achieved a club record: 39 points after the first 15 league games of a season is unprecedented. In fact, only Borussia Dortmund (twice) and FC Bayern Munich (three times) have achieved this points haul. Consistency before the break is also responsible for this run, as Bayer 04 have now conceded no goals in the first half for the ninth time - more often than any other team in the Bundesliga.
