VIDEO: Adam Hložek scored again! With this header, he surpassed Jiří Pavlenka

After a slow start, Adam Hložek is starting to fully acclimatize to the Bundesliga. He scored his fourth Bundesliga goal against Werder Bremen, which was also the winning goal.

After the winter break and the arrival of coach Xabi Alonso, Adam Hložek is starting to unlock his full potential in the Bundesliga.

While he scored only once in the Bundesliga or in the European Cups in the autumn, he has now scored three goals and three assists since the end of January.

First he assisted a goal against Mönchengladbach, then he scored against Bochum and in three rounds he also hit the net for Hoffenheim.

But his position has not been ideal recently after the defeat to Monaco in the Europa League. In the rematch, he did rejoin the starting line-up, but he played only seven minutes against Mainz in the Bundesliga, went off at half-time against Freiburg and sat the whole game against Hertha on the bench.

He also started there with Ferencváros in the Europa League, but came on for the last 20 minutes. In the 86th minute, he took a direct kick, his shot shook the crossbar and Tapsoba headed the ball into the net, officially earning himself an assist.

He thus earned himself a starting line-up against Werder Bremen and repaid the trust he had been given. Bremen went ahead in the 30th minute with Jiri Pavlenko in goal, but Leverkusen equalised before half-time thanks to Bakker.

After the change of sides, Frimpong sent Werkself into the lead, then Leverkusen tried to add an insurance, but it didn’t come for a long time.

In the 83rd minute, Adli started a quick break down the left wing, but Hložek was the quickest to react to his blocked centre and beat his national team teammate with a header to the back post.

In the 85th minute, Leverkusen still conceded after Füllkrug’s penalty, but the 3:2 lead was maintained and Hložek scored the winning goal.
