"Borussia Dortmund narrowed their deficit to Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich with a routine 3-0 victory over Union Berlin. Goals from Emre Can, Nico Schlotterbeck and Maximilian Beier moved Niko Kovac's side within eight points of Bayern, who suffered their first league defeat of the season against Augsburg earlier on Saturday. Dortmund broke the deadlock after 10 minutes at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei. Can calmly swept home from the penalty spot, after Serhou Guirassy was brought down by goalkeeper Frederik Ronnow."
"Can maintained his perfect record from the penalty spot in the Bundesliga. That is now 12 from 12 in the German top flight, with only Harry Kane (20), Hans-Joachim Abel (16), Ludwig Nolden (15) enjoying longer successful streaks without failure. Meanwhile, that was the fourth penalty goal Union have conceded this season, with only Stuttgart (five) letting in more in the Bundesliga."
