Bayer Leverkusen clinched their first Bundesliga title in seven years on Saturday evening, defeating VfL Wolfsburg 3-0 to secure the top spot in the league standings.

The match at the Volkswagen Arena saw the visitors dominate proceedings from the off, as they took control of the game early on and set up a comfortable lead for themselves.

VfL Wolfsburg struggled to create any meaningful chances in the opening stages of the match, with Bayer Leverkusen's defense standing tall against their attacks.

However, the hosts finally broke the deadlock in the 28th minute when substitute Mario Götze scored his second goal of the season to put the visitors ahead.

The home side continued to push forward in search of an equalizer, but Bayer Leverkusen's defensive solidity remained unbroken, with goalkeeper Kevin Trapp making several crucial saves to keep them at bay.

The visitors doubled their advantage in the 71st minute through a penalty kick awarded after Jürgen Klinsmann was fouled by VfL Wolfsburg's Benjamin Geser.

And just four minutes later, Thomas Muller completed the scoring with another header to make it 3-0, sealing Bayer Leverkusen's first Bundesliga title since 2014.

The victory was a historic one for the club, who had been struggling in recent seasons and were looking unlikely to challenge for the championship.

But under new manager Julian Nagelsmann, the team has shown great improvement this season, and Saturday's win was a testament to the hard work and determination of the players.

With their title secured, Bayer Leverkusen now turn their attention to the Europa League, where they will face off against Eintracht Frankfurt next week. But for now, the focus is firmly on celebrating their first Bundesliga title in seven years.
