South Korea striker Son Heung-Min scored a hat-trick but still ended up on the losing team as Bayer Leverkusen lost 5-4 to VfL Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

The 22-year-old Son needed just 10 second-half minutes to claim his second German league hat-trick after also claiming a treble in Leverkusen's 5-3 romp against his old club Hamburg last season.

The Korean ended up on the losing team as Dutch striker Bas Dost scored four goals, including a 94th-minute winner, as second-placed Wolfsburg remained eight points behind Bundesliga leaders Bayern.

Despite his impressive goal haul, Son is only the joint ninth top scorer in the Bundesliga, while Dost is joint fourth, with Bayern Munich's Arjen Robben and Frankfurt captain Alexander Meier setting the pace on 14 goals each.

Leverkusen are sixth in the table after their second straight defeat, having been shocked by resurgent Werder Bremen last Sunday.

Roger Schmidt's Bayer prepare to host 2014 finalists Atletico Madrid in the last 16, first-leg, of the Champions League in 10 days time, having lost 4-0 at home to Paris St Germain at the same stage last season.
