Thorgan Hazard scored less then 90 seconds after coming off the substitutes' bench and went on to grab another goal as holders Borussia Dortmund laboured to a 2-0 win over visitors Ingolstadt in the DFB-Pokal on Tuesday.

Dortmund struggled to break down the 2. Bundesliga's side stubborn defence, but Hazard joined the match in the 71st minute and the Belgium international tapped in a pass from Julian Brandt moments later.

Hazard then ended any hope of an Ingolstadt comeback nine minutes later, finishing off another precision delivery from Brandt.

What's going on with Eden Hazard?

Eden Hazard had been expected to return for El Clasico, but Ancelotti's words beforehand proved to be telling, with the Belgian staying on the bench at the Camp Nou.

"Hazard is ready, but his problem right now is that he has a coach who prefers other players, which can happen in a squad like this one," Ancelotti said at his Tuesday press conference.

"The important thing is that he stays motivated and works hard so that he can play again, and he is doing that.

"His time will come. I'm convinced he'll be back to his best at some point this season.
