Match Report
Sebastian Haller made his first start for Borussia Dortmund since returning to the team after battling testicular cancer in Sunday's win.
The Ivory Coast striker, 28, set up Karim Adeyemi for the first goal with a superb dummy in the 33rd minute.
An own goal in the 53rd minute sealed a hard-fought victory which moved visitors to within three points of Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich.
Dortmund's comfortable victory snapped Leverkusen's five-game winning run in the Bundesliga, dropping them to ninth place.
Germany international Adeyemi rifled in his first Bundesliga goal after a good passing move from Dortmund in the 33rd minute with Leverkusen's Moussa Diaby having earlier forced a superb save from Dortmund keeper Gregor Kobel.
The keeper had to come to the rescue again three minutes after the restart, stopping both Diaby and Amine Adli in Leverkusen's double chance to level.
The visitors, who play Chelsea on February 15 in the Champions League Round of 16, then doubled their lead in the 53rd minute when defender Edmond Tapsoba turned a Marius Wolf cutback into his own goal.
The Burkina Faso central defender had an evening to forget after almost scoring a second own goal in the 72nd.
He attempted to clear yet another cutback, this time from Julian Brandt, but instead stabbed it towards goal before Jeremie Frimpong came to the rescue and cleared on the line.
Dortmund's third straight victory moved them up to fourth place on 34 points, three off leaders Bayern Munich and one behind third-placed RB Leipzig. Leverkusen are on 24 in ninth place.
