FT: Leverkusen 1-2 Dortmund
After Adeyemi doubled BVB's lead with a precise header from Silva's cross, Kofane pulled a goal back for Leverkusen with a neat flick. But unlike vs. Hamburg & Stuttgart, BVB held on for three vital points which send them up to third in the #Bundesliga.

HT: Leverkusen 0-1 Dortmund
BVB lead thanks to Anselmino's header from Svensson's free-kick. The young Argentinian defender has otherwise struggled with the pace of Poku and a Leverkusen attack which has looked more threatening.

FT: Schalke 2-1 Paderborn
Schalke come from behind to go top of the 2. Bundesliga. Captain Kenan Karaman equalised just before half-time before Bryan Lasme came off the bench to score a deserved winner. Huge win for the Königsblauen.

Schalke captain Karaman cancels out Curda’s header after a driving run from Sylla. Good game, apart from the first 12 mins with no atmosphere and a four-min VAR break. Soon picked up though:
