Leverkusen only needed a win today for their first Bundesliga conquest in their 120-year history, but they did this super style.
They racked up an unassailable 79 points with five rounds of matches to the end of the season.
Victor Boniface justified his first start of this year after a long injury layoff when he slotted home a penalty after 25 minutes of action.

It was the tonic the home team needed as they went on to score four more goals – he assisted for the second goal – to send a packed BayArena into wild celebrations.
Victor Boniface and Tella have thus become only their third and fourth Nigerians to win the Bundesliga championship.
They have now gone 43 games unbeaten this season.
They are also in top reckoning for the UEFA Europa League as well as the German Cup, where they will do battle against Kaiserslautern in the final next month in Berlin.
