Borussia Dortmund climbed back to second place in the Bundesliga with a routine victory against Werder Bremen, thanks to goals from Dan-Axel Zagadou and Erling Braut Haaland.
Match Reports
Erling Braut Haaland on target again to send Dortmund back to second in Bundesliga and heap pressure on Bayern Munich.
After a dull first half without a shot on target, Lucien Favre must have grilled his Dortmund side at half-time as they came out swinging at the Weserstadion.
In the 52nd minute, Jadon Sancho's curling corner was met with a powerful volley from defender Dan-Axel Zagadou to give Dortmund a crucial lead. It was the Frenchman's first goal of the season.
Who else but the in-form Erling Braut Haaland to double Dortmund's lead? The striker latched onto a cutback from Achraf Hakimi and lashed the ball into the top corner. A devastating finish from a devastating player.

just love someone who works so hard, who has so much passion and energy that pushes him to continue to improve everyday at such a young age he just makes other player look like they are not there. This guy has a massive future that is a history in the making. I wish him well for the future as much talent he hold for his club and country.

Individual brilliance can also be interpreted as a team strength and weakness at the same time, if messi is not at his best,the team suffers .Barcelona needs total team effort to dominate European football once again.
