BERLIN (Reuters) - Swiss striker Josip Drmic scored twice as Bayer Leverkusen crushed bottom-placed VfB Stuttgart 4-0 on Friday to climb into third place in the Bundesliga with their third consecutive league win.

Leverkusen, who travel to Atletico Madrid for their Champions League last-16 second leg next week, converted their first two chances of the game by netting twice in four minutes after Stuttgart had squandered the better scoring chances.
