Leverkusen were not behind for too long as they drew level five minutes later, with Kevin Volland netting his 14th league goal of the campaign.
The visitors then had the ball in the back of the net for a second time when Lucas Alario slotted home after being teed up by Mitchell Wieser, however the strike was ruled out by the Video Assistant Referee.
The chances continued fall for the visitors, with Alario going closest by hitting the frame of the goal on the stroke of halftime.
The away side took the lead three minutes into the second half, with Kai Havertz turning home a cross from Volland.

Both coaches opted for a couple changes for the remaining 20 minutes with the away side comfortably leading.
Leverkusen rounded off the scoring in the 88th minute through Julian Brandt's close range finish after being teed up by Dominik Kohr.
