Nigerian forward, Victor Boniface has set the Bundesliga on fire with his dazzling displays in the new season.

The 22-year-old has already won the league's coveted 'Player of the Month' award after just his first month in the German topflight with Bayer Leverkusen.

Boniface netted four goals and provided two assists in four matches in the month under review.

However, it was his performance against champions, Bayern Munich that caught the attention of many as Leverkusen held the German powerhouse to a 2-2 draw.

In a video which has since gone viral on social media, Boniface nutmegged defender, Dayot Upamecano before overpowering him as he surged towards his teammates.

Boniface's incredible early performances have made him almost unplayable, with Italian giants, Juventus reportedly interested in his services.

Meanwhile, in a top-of-the-table Bundesliga clash, it was Harry Kane who opened the scoring for Bayern Munich in the seventh minute.

Alejandro Grimaldo levelled for the visitors before half-time but Bayern Munich took the lead again with four minutes remaining.

However, Leverkusen responded in injury time from the spot through Exequiel Palacios, as reported by the BBC.
