Mukiele fires Bayer to last-gasp win over Inter
Nordi Mukiele scored a 90th-minute winner to hand Bayer Leverkusen a huge 1-0 victory over Inter, drawing Xabi Alonso's men closer to Champions League qualification.
The Nerazzurri had not conceded a single goal in their five Champions League outings this campaign, but they dropped to fourth in the table after a narrow defeat in Germany.
Leverkusen, which enjoyed more than 60 percent of the possession as it went in search of a sixth straight win in all competitions, was the better side for most of the game.
It hit the post early on through Nathan Tella before going close again through Florian Wirtz and Jonathan Tah, the former drawing a full-stretch save from Yann Sommer.
The German champion was made to wait for its breakthrough, but it came in the final minute as a goalmouth scramble resulted in Mukiele slotting home.
Xabi Alonso's side leapfrogged its opponent into second in the 36-team standings, five points adrift of first-placed Liverpool and ahead of Aston Villa, Inter and Brest on goal difference.
