Scorers: Adeyemi 33′, Tapsoba 53′ (OG)

Borussia Dortmund weathered pressure from Bayer Leverkusen to take a 2-0 win at the BayArena.

The home side were on the front foot in the early stages of the game, with Florian Wirtz playing a defence-splitting pass through to Moussa Diaby, the winger forcing an excellent save from Gregor Kobel.

Yet it was Dortmund who took the lead, when Karim Adeyemi registered his first Bundesliga goal for the club after pouncing on some excellent passing play from Jude Bellingham and Julian Brandt.

Leverkusen pushed for the equaliser, but an own goal from Edmond Tapsoba doubled Dortmund’s lead as he bundled Marius Wolf’s cross over the line under pressure from Jude Bellingham.

Dortmund have goalkeeper Kobel to thank for the clean sheet as much as the attackers for providing the chances, as they increase the pressure on Bayern Munich at the top.
