Julian Brandt and Kai Havertz dropped out, Karim Bellarabi and Lucas Alario stepped in: the former should have found the net, the latter did. Lars Bender needs a rest? No problem, Julian Baumgartlinger drops in and the heart of the side does not miss a beat.
No fewer than 13 different players have scored for Leverkusen this season, more than any other club. Now THAT is a team effort! As good as the entire cast has been, some individuals have still produced Oscar-winning performances. Leon Bailey would be among those with most red-carpet traction after hitting the ground running in his first full Bundesliga campaign at the sort of pace that would make even his friend Usain Bolt sweat.
In addition to his four goals, the Jamaican rising star has five assists with a flurry of three in the last two games. With Kevin Volland playing in the manner of Robert Lewandowski — leading the line, linking up with team-mates, helping them score and scoring himself — Bailey has flourished, and has quickly built a potentially devastating understanding with the former Hoffenheim forward as well as his fellow young cohorts Brandt and Havertz.
His efforts might have counted for nothing had Bernd Leno not produced "probably my best game ever" against Stuttgart with the Germany international goalkeeper showing his team's run has not only been about the goaltakers and makers.
Herrlich's name was not at the top of many Leverkusen fans' wishlists when their club sought a full-time coaching appointment last summer. In truth, he probably wasn't even at the bottom of them.

That year the working group officiated star names , derived mainly from the most commonly used Arabic, Roman and Greek names in astronomy.
But the list contained few Indigenous or non-Western names. That changed last year when the WGSN formally approved the 86 new star names drawn from other cultures. Aboriginal Australian cultures stretch back at least 65, years , representing the most ancient star names on the list. As Indigenous cultures have a rich collection of names for even the faintest stars, many new star names could gain IAU recognition.
The Wardaman people live km southwest of Katherine in the Northern Territory. Wardaman star names come from Senior Elder Bill Yidumduma Harney , a well known artist, author and musician. He worked with Dr Hugh Cairns to publish some of his traditional star knowledge in the books Dark Sparklers and Four Circles These books remain the most detailed records of the astronomical knowledge of any Aboriginal group in Australia.
The stars of the Western constellation Scorpius feature prominently in Wardaman traditions, which inform the procedures of initiation ceremonies. Merrerrebena is the wife of the Sky Boss, Nardi. She mandates ceremonial law, which is embodied in the red star Antares Alpha Scorpii. Each star in the body of Scorpius represents a different person involved in the ceremony. Larawag is the signal watcher, noting when only legitimate participants are present and in view of the ceremony. Wurren gives water to Gawalyan, the echidna the star Achernar , which they direct Earthly initiates to carry in small bowls.
The water came from a great waterfall used to cool the people during ceremony. These ceremonies occur in late December when the weather is hot and these stars are high in the evening sky, signalling the start of the monsoon.
Zeta Phoenicis comprises two blue stars orbiting each other, light years away. From our perspective, these two stars eclipse each other, changing in brightness from magnitude 3. Ginan is the fifth-brightest star in the Southern Cross. It represents a red dilly-bag filled with special songs of knowledge. Ginan was found by Mulugurnden the crayfish , who brought the red flying foxes from the underworld to the sky. The bats fly through the constellation Scorpius on their way to the Southern Cross, trading songs as they go.
The song informs the people about initiation, which is managed by the stars in Scorpius and related to Larawag who ensures the appropriate personnel are present for the final stages of the ceremony.
