Unfortunately Xabi Alonso team did not profit much from Bayern Munich humiliating defeat and got only one point from their game against Stuttgart. Bayer Leverkusen were playing away vs a team that is doing pretty good this season in Bundesliga. They were pushing and trying to score and Leverkusen tried too but their opponent were concentrated to not lose home.
Indeed. Leverkusen failed to get an advantage from a big lose of Bayern Munich. But Leverkusen could get 1 point at least, they also can keep a positive result. They could keep their status as an unbeaten team so far. So, I don't think this is a very bad result for Xabi and Leverkusen. I can understand that it wasn't an easy match, they play away against one of the strong team in Bundesliga (Stuttgart). We must realize that Stuttgart is one of the shining teams in Bundesliga this season.
Leverkusen was still lucky to only end in draw against Stuttgart and were still able to save 1 point and now they have 36 points, and indeed Bayern Munich defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt gave Leverkusen big advantage.
Indirectly, Bayern Munich defeat can widen the distance in terms of points to be able to top the standings, now the difference between Leverkusen as the top of the standings and Bayern Munich is 4 points.
In the future, if Leverkusen manages to beat Eintracht Frankfurt and the Bayern Munich vs Stuttgart match ends in draw or Stuttgart wins, the difference will be even further.
It can also be confirmed that Bayern Munich will have increasingly difficulty chasing him.
This round in Bundesliga is crazy with a lot of unexpected results. Even Dortmund lost home vs Leipzig which increased the gap to 4 points.
Yes, there are many surprises in Bundesliga this season. I think it makes Bundesliga competition be more interesting.
Leipzig could win against Dortmund away, it is a great result for Leipzig.
What interesting is that team that in the previous season were unable to dominate the Bundesliga are now competing at the top by increasing their wins to be able to get full points from every match that takes place.
Like Leverkusen and Stuttgart last season they were not team to be proud of but now they are at the top of the standings and in third place, this is why the competition is hot and the matches are interesting.
It looks like this season Bundesliga will have new champion.
For Leipzig, from the start they have been strong team and just look at every season they can dominate the Bundesliga and at the lowest level in these 5 seasons they have only been in the top 4 and have always been runners-up or in 3rd place.
In Dortmund uncertain condition like this, it is natural that Leipzig can beat them, after all, Leipzig is also team that can always put pressure on Dortmund every season.
