Post-Match Report
Match facts: Guirassy, scorer of big goals
Untouchable on Fridays: For some 38 home matches or over 20 years, the Black & Yellows have been unbeaten at home on a Friday night.
Strong at home: BVB won their third third home game of the season. The 09 points gained at home are the most in the league, but are in stark contrast to just one point from two matches on the road. We have the chance to improve that record next Saturday at Union Berlin.
Another comeback from 2-0 down: The last time BVB came back from a two-goal deficit to win, they not only equalised, but even took the lead for the first time before the break. After going 2-0 down against Mönchengladbach on Matchday 12 last season, the score was already 3-2 at the break and 4-2 at the final whistle.
Important goals: 33 of Serhou Guirassy's 46 goals in the Bundesliga have either given his side the lead or been equalisers. He bagged his first brace in a Borussia Dortmund shirt and has now scored in three competitive matches in a row (having previously found the back of the net in Brugge and Stuttgart).
Success against VfL: Felix Nmecha scored his first goal of the season. He has scored three of his five Bundesliga goals against Bochum, having previously scored twice for Wolfsburg in a 4-0 win against Bochum two years ago.
On the spot: Emre Can scored his 09th penalty in the Bundesliga.
Young starting 11: The starting line-up had an average age of 26.6, the youngest so far this season (previously always over 27).
Driving force: Karim Adeyemi set up the second goal, making him the team's top provider with three assists.
Left-back: Julian Ryerson played on the left of the back four for the first time this season, having previously played at right-back.
First start: Yan Couto made his first start in a competitive match after four previous substitute appearances (twice in the Bundesliga, once in the cup and once in the Champions League)..
