Jeremie Frimpong grabbed his second Bundesliga double of the season as he helped Bayer Leverkusen to a big win over Schalke and get the Xabi Alonso era at the club off to a flying start.
The former Celtic star was named in the first team selection of the ex-Liverpool and Spain star as he delivered three points and a huge win over Schalke in his dugout bow in Germany's top league. It was only a second win in nine league outings with the sell-out crowd treated to three goals in just over 50 minutes.
Moussa Diaby fired the home side into the lead seven minutes before the break with a stunning effort. Ex-Hoops man Frimpong quickly followed up the opener with a goal just three minutes later before making it a double with 52 minutes played. Paulinho rounded off the scoring for the big win in the final minute.
