Match Report
Paco Alcacer scored twice in stoppage time as Borussia Dortmund moved two points clear of Bayern Munich at the Bundesliga summit with a dramatic 2-0 home win over Wolfsburg, one week before they meet their title rivals in Der Klassiker.
Bayern drew 1-1 away to Freiburg, and it looked like Dortmund would also only pick up a point until Alcacer netted a powerful free-kick and finished off a swift counter-attack in a sensational climax.
Marco Reus, Dortmund's influential captain and the matchwinner in November's reverse fixture, missed Saturday's match as his partner was due to give birth, while Christian Pulisic was out injured.
