With this brace, England’s captain soared to the top of the Bundesliga scoring charts with 20 goals, extending a four-goal lead over Guinea’s Serhou Guirassy, Stuttgart’s top scorer.
The Bavarian side boosted their points tally to 35, securing the second spot in the league and bouncing back from their previous round’s heavy 1-5 defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Stuttgart, on the other hand, suffered their fourth defeat in the Bundesliga, leaving them stalled at 31 points in fourth place.
In another match from the same round, Bayer Leverkusen regained their confidence with a clean 3-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt, with goals scored by Victor Boniface (14), Jeremie Frimpong (51), and Florian Fritz (57).
With this win, Leverkusen overcame their recent stumbling blocks—two draws in the last two rounds—to raise their points to 39, cementing their lead at the top of the league table.
