LEVERKUSEN, Germany (AP) — Ernest Poku continued his strong goalscoring form as Bayer Leverkusen bounced back from its heavy loss to Paris Saint-Germain to beat Freiburg 2-0 in the Bundesliga on Sunday. In its first game since a 7-2 loss to PSG ended Kasper Hjulmand's unbeaten start as coach, Leverkusen looked a very different team, ending an eight-game unbeaten run for Freiburg in all competitions. Ernest Poku scored the opening goal off a slick one-two with Aleix Garcia that allowed him to run onto the ball on the edge of the area and shoot with power.
