Gomez nets seven-minute hat-trick for Wolfsburg in thrilling Bayer Leverkusen draw
Kai Havertz became Bayer Leverkusen's youngest Bundesliga goalscorer, while Wolfsburg's Mario Gomez hit a hat-trick in a 3-3 draw on Sunday.
Mario Gomez struck a seven-minute hat-trick for Wolfsburg in a thrilling 3-3 Bundesliga draw at Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday as the striker's prolific form under coach Andries Jonker continued.
Karim Bellarabi put the hosts in front shortly before half-time and when Kevin Volland doubled the lead after the break, Leverkusen looked to be heading for a comfortable victory.
Gomez had other ideas, however, glancing home Jakub Blaszczykowski's right-wing cross after 79 minutes to spark a stunning conclusion at the BayArena.
The striker headed Maximilian Arnold's corner in two minutes later and Gomez completed his 12th Bundesliga hat-trick from the spot after the influential Blaszczykowski was brought down to turn the game around for the visitors.
