"Two headers from Aaron Anselmino and Karim Adeyemi did the damage for Niko Kovac's team, who have now gone five league games without tasting defeat in the top-flight. Ernest Poku should have given Leverkusen the lead in the 10th minute after he cut onto his right foot inside the box, but he smashed his strike from close range over Gregor Kobel's goal."
"The game looked to be heading into the break at 0-0, but Anselmino managed to climb highest to get on the end of a cross from Daniel Svensson, with Mark Flekken only able to tip the header onto the post. Malik Tillman was then unable to guide his effort on target after half-time before Serhou Guirassy saw a point-blank shot saved by Flekken, but Adeyemi did double Dortmund's advantage as he powered a header from Fabio Silva's delivery in at the near post."
Borussia Dortmund defeated Bayer Leverkusen 2-1 at BayArena. Aaron Anselmino opened the scoring with a header from a Daniel Svensson cross before Karim Adeyemi added a second headed goal from Fabio Silva's delivery. Leverkusen hit the woodwork multiple times and Christian Kofane reduced the deficit with seven minutes remaining by converting Ibrahim Maza's pass. Ernest Poku and Julian Brandt missed clear opportunities earlier, while Mark Flekken produced several saves. Dortmund registered 1.02 expected goals from seven shots to Leverkusen's 0.93 from 14 attempts and both teams had four shots on target. Adeyemi scored in his third consecutive game and now has four league goals.
