Match Report

Dortmund bounced back from a three-game losing streak in all competitions despite having nine players missing for Saturday's clash at Signal Iduna Park.

Leipzig took the lead when Benjamin Sesko lashed home from a tight angle in the 27th minute, though Dortmund had spurned several gilt-edged chances by that stage.

Dortmund responded within three minutes, though, with Maximilian Beier pouncing onto a loose ball to prod in.

The turnaround was completed when Serhou Guirassy headed in from close range in the 65th minute.

While Leipzig suffered their first league defeat of the campaign, Dortmund sit fifth.

Data Debrief: Sahin's home fortress 

Dortmund's troubles this season, at least domestically, have come mainly on the road, but they have been excellent at home and this win continued that form.

Sahin has won each of his first five Bundesliga home games in charge of Dortmund, a feat previously only achieved by Marco Rose (seven wins), who of course was in the opposite dugout on Saturday.
