Granit Xhaka has scored a stunner to give Bayer Leverkusen the lead in the DFB Pokal final.
Wirtz tried to work his magic just outside the penalty area, but ran into a sea of FCK defenders.
The ball rebounded into the path of the former Arsenal midfielder, who ambitiously curled an effort first-time from nearly 20 yards out. It flew into the top corner, leaving the goalkeeper with no chance!

Leverkusen, having already won the Bundesliga this season by going unbeaten, now have a chance to win their second trophy of the season tonight with a victory against Kaiserslautern.
This comes after suffering a setback in the Europa League final, where they lost their first game of the season in a 3-0 defeat to Atalanta.
