Bayer 04 back to winning ways at Stuttgart

The Werkself have turned a corner after three defeats in succession with an incredibly important 1-0 away win at VfB Stuttgart. Kai Havertz scored the only goal of the game with a penalty on 64 minutes awarded for a foul on Kevin Volland. It was a deserved win for the Werkself, who had much more possession and goalscoring opportunities, and it puts them back in contention for a European spot.
