Håland as if in a frenzy – Bayern are new league leaders

The winter signing from Norway scored twice in his new team from Dortmund's 5-0 win over Union Berlin and now has an incredible 3 goals after 7 games. In addition, Jadon Sancho, Marco Reus with a penalty and Axel Witsel also contributed to BVB continuing its race to catch up to the top of the table in front of 81.365 spectators in the sold-out Signal Iduna Park and, as they did recently, against Augsburg (5:3) and against Cologne (5: 1) celebrated a success with 5 goals scored.

BVB coach Favre's move to put Håland in the starting line-up for the first time was intended to give his team even more impact. And as with his acclaimed short appearances against Augsburg and Cologne with a total of 5 goals, the former Salzburg player didn't need long to get up to speed.

The first BVB goal was reserved for his strike partner Sancho, who scored with a deflected shot (13th). Just 5 minutes later, 19-year-old Håland also came into action. After a cross from Julian Brandt, the 20 million euro acquisition stood where a goalscorer should stand and pushed the ball over the line from close range. After the break, Dortmund could rely on Håland again. After a pass from Sancho, goalkeeper Rafal Gikiewicz could only stop him with a foul. Reus converted the penalty (68th). This broke the resistance of the guests. Two more counterattack goals from Witsel (2') and Håland (70') rounded off Borussia's strong performance once again. Sovereign Bavaria takes first place FC Bayern Munich once again did not show any weakness in the title race and confidently solved the away task at FSV Mainz 05. In the easy 3-1 win, Robert Lewandowski scored his 150th Bundesliga goal in a Bayern jersey (8th minute), Thomas Müller (14th) and Thiago (26th) scored the goals for the German record champions on Saturday. Jeremiah St. Juste (45th) scored the consolation goal in front of 33.305 spectators for Mainz, who are in the middle of a relegation battle after their fourth defeat in a row.

With the win, Bayern took first place in the table. The previous league leader Leipzig did not make it past Gladbach in the evening 2:2 draw out.
