Wolfsburg win at Bayer Leverkusen was crazy, says Andre Schurrle

Andre Schurrle said he had "never experienced such a crazy game" after Wolfsburg beat Bayer Leverkusen 5-4 at the BayArena on Saturday.

Wolfsburg led 3-0 at the break, only for their hosts to fight back and level the scores at 4-4.

But a Bas Dost goal -- his fourth of the game -- earned the Wolves victory deep into stoppage time, keeping them eight points behind Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich.

"I have led 3-0 with Mainz before and ended up drawing 4-4 -- and that was against Wolfsburg -- but to win 5-4 is even crazier than that," Schurrle told the German Football Association (DFB) website.

"I've never experienced such a crazy game. It's pretty extraordinary in football to have so many goals going in at one end and the other."

Schurrle, who hit the post on Saturday, is still waiting for his first goal since moving to Wolfsburg from Chelsea.

But as long as the team are winning, the 24-year-old said he would not worry about that too much, despite having had several opportunities to open his account.

"They were big chances which I would and should normally take so it is a shame of course, but that's the way things are in football sometimes," he added.

"Sometimes they go in, sometimes they don't. I'll keep working and then the goals will come. With the quality we've got in attack, it's great fun."
