Signs of general stability: Borussia Dortmund have lost two competitive matches in a row for the first time under Niko Kovac. Dortmund suffered its first home defeat of the season and was the last Bundesliga team to suffer a defeat. Their last home loss was a year ago.
Return again: Nico Schlotterback has not played in Borussia Dortmund’s last four official games (suspension, injury). He returned to the starting lineup in the points-top match and scored his fourth goal of the season, tying his personal single-season scoring record.
Take aim: Daniel Svensson scored his second goal of the season. He had previously scored on Match Day 5 for Mainz.
closure: Harry Kane also scored his 24th Bundesliga penalty. Gregor Kerber was the third goalkeeper to at least pick up the ball… Kane scored twice in his fourth Bundesliga game, equaling the all-time record set by Lothar Emmerich (Borussia Dortmund in 1967) and Tomislav Maric (Wolfsburg in 2001).
