Bayer Leverkusen 3-1 Paderborn: Victor Boniface can't stop scoring, nets 14th of the season

The Nigeria international has now scored for the third consecutive match for Bayer Leverkusen across all competitions. 

Boniface played a pivotal role as Leverkusen advanced to the next round of the German cup after a routine 3-1 win against Paderborn on Wednesday evening.

The 22-year-old enjoyed a brilliant outing as Leverkusen secured easy passage to know next round in the Pokal. 

Boniface opened the scoring at the BayArena to put Die Werkself ahead against the Bundesliga 2 side. 

The goal was the third in the last three matches for the three-time Rookie of the Month winner to continue his brilliant campaign at Leverkusen.

He was on the pitch for 75 minutes, attempted two shots, and created one chance but had two assists chalked off for offside before he was substituted. 

Other scorers on the day for Bayer were  Exequiel Palacios, who doubled the advantage just before the half-hour mark, and Patrik Schick, who replaced Boniface and went on to seal the win after Paderborn pulled one back.
