Xabi Alonso watch: What Liverpool fans learned from Bayer Leverkusen's win over Heidenheim

As well as securing three points and extending their lead atop of the Bundesliga table to eight points, the win over Heidenheim also saw Leverkusen create some German Football History.
The win meant that Leverkusen equalled the German record (held by Bayern Munich since 2020) of 32 Games unbeaten in all comPetitions.
