Borussia Dortmund will enter the October international break as league leaders. While this was also the case last year after a 2-1 away win in Augsburg, the two situations can hardly be compared. In 2017, a certain skepticism had started to creep in. This year, after the 4-3 win over Augsburg, the Black and Yellows are riding a wave of euphoria.

Paco Alcácer is a man who writes history, and once he's finished, he goes and writes more history. One goal against Monaco, two in Leverkusen and now three against Augsburg. Lucien Favre was effusive in his praise when talking to the press on Saturday: ''It's a really, really, really good transfer.'' The head coach was talking shortly after the final whistle of an absolutely crazy match, which will live long in the memory due to its seesaw nature and its unforgettable winning goal six minutes...

Borussia Dortmund claimed their fourth straight victory (combined goal difference in those four games: 18-5) and extended their unbeaten run to 10 competitive matches this season. Lucien Favre has now won each of his first four home league games, a feat only previously achieved by one BVB coach: Ottmar Hitzfeld.

Lucien Favre and Marco Reus were beaming as they fielded questions after the crazy comeback win over Augsburg. "It was fantastic for the fans – and for us," said the coach.
