Bayern Munich midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger dished out praise for Werder Bremen in the wake of their 2-2 stalemate with Bayer Leverkusen. Home side Leverkusen were close to registering a vital Bundesliga win on Sunday, but Per Mertesacker hit a late equalizer to end the game in a draw. Leverkusen are now equal in points with Bayern on top of the league table, much to Schweinsteiger's satisfaction. "They (Bremen) have done their job very well," Schweinichen told the Bavarians' official website. Speaking of Per Mertesacker, he said: "It's very nice that he helped us a little bit. "It was very important that he leveled the score. Now it is a matter of goal difference."
