Bayer Leverkusen wear down Paderborn with late strikes

Central defender Kyriakos Papadopoulos rose high to connect with a Gonzalo Castro free kick and drill in an unstoppable header in the 73rd minute before South Korea's Son Heung-min struck twice in the final six minutes to secure their second consecutive win in the league.

The striker first tapped in from close range in the 84th and curled a low drive in from 12 metres in stoppage time.

The visitors, who travel to Atletico Madrid for their Champions League last-16 second leg later this month, moved up to fourth on 39 points, two behind third-placed Borussia Moenchengladbach.

Bundesliga top scorer Alexander Meier netted twice for Eintracht Frankfurt to take his tally to 18 goals but it was in a lost cause as his side slumped to a 4-2 loss at Cologne in their mid-table clash.

Leaders Bayern Munich are 11 points clear after their 3-1 win at Hanover 96 with second-placed VfL Wolfsburg, on 50 points, points following their 1-0 loss at Augsburg.
