Match Report
Borussia Dortmund returned to winning ways in the Bundesliga with a 3-2 triumph over Bayer Leverkusen, making it an unhappy return to Signal Iduna Park for Peter Bosz.
Dutchman Bosz was Dortmund coach for the first half of the 2017-18 campaign before being sacked, and although his new team looked promising at times on Sunday, the hosts were slightly more ruthless in attack.
Jadon Sancho was the key man in the first half for Dortmund, setting up Dan-Axel Zagadou and scoring his eighth goal of the season either side of Kevin Volland's strike.

This match was surprisingly interesting and more exciting than I thought ,I thought Borussia will crush Leverkusen but nah , Leverkusen were more than worthy opponents to team with clearly better players ,with little bit of luck ,the result could be different but I am actually glad Borussia won ,they deserve great success this season! Congratulations to Borussia Dortmund.
