Dortmund 4-2 Gladbach: Talking points from the Westfalenstadion

Borussia Dortmund got back to winning ways after their disappointing defeat in Stuttgart before the international break, but they didn’t do it the easy way on an afternoon of pure Bundesliga madness. Deservedly trailing 0-2 at home to Borussia Mönchengladbach after half an hour, there were more whistles from the Westfalenstadion crowd. Less than three minutes later, however, Dortmund were somehow level thanks to Marcel Sabitzer and Niclas Füllkrug – the latter with a very neat finish into the top corner. And by half-time, they were in front, a Jamie Bynoe-Gittens strike from the edge of the box capping a wild first half. The second half was less spectacular – until the final minute when, with Gladbach pushing for an equalizer and goalkeeper Moritz Nicolas up for a corner, Donyell Malen sprinted clear to tap the ball into an empty net, waving his arms to a now ecstatic crowd.
