Bayer Leverkusen Vs Mainz 05: Granit Xhaka produced a moment of brilliance with the ball at his feet, as his left-footed curler outside the box on the left side within the first 180 seconds gave Xabi Alonso's men a huge kickstart in the Bundesliga Matchday 23 fixture against Mainz 05. The Bundesliga leaders have been in sublime form this season and Mainz had a huge task at their disposal to bring an end to Leverkusen's unbeaten run this season. However, that couldn't happen as Bayer Leverkusen continue to tumble down records after records in their potentially 'invincible' season.
However, the most viral moment of the fixture came inside the first 3 minutes of the match as Xhaka scored a stunner and while he went near the corner flag to celebrate, he started limpimg off and got hold of his left leg's hamstring, that eventually scared everyone present in the arena, but that was not the case, as the Swiss player did the 'fake injury' celebration, which was comprehensively complemented by teammate Frimpong.
