BVB with another strong start to the New Year

Unstoppable: André Schürrle's 20th shot of the season resulted in his first Bundesliga goal for the club, meaning he has now scored once in each of the three competitions for BVB. The forward had more shots than any other player on the pitch with almost as many efforts (seven) as the entire Bremen team put together (nine). Last year Schürrle's first goal of the season also came in the first match after the winter break. Then a Wolfsburg player, he finished the campaign with nine.

Long time coming: For the first time since the victory over Bayern Munich on 19 November, Dortmund took the lead. They fell behind in the seven competitive matches that followed (five of which were in the Bundesliga), winning two, drawing four and losing one.

Strong in the lead: The Black and Yellows have won all eight Bundesliga games this season in which they have opening the scoring.

Success up north: BVB today secured their third away victory of the season. All three have come up north, with the first two in Wolfsburg and Hamburg.

Preferred opponent: Borussia Dortmund have now won ten of their last 11 Bundesliga matches against Werder, including five of the last six games in Bremen.

Dangerous defender: With four goals to his name this season, Lukasz Piszczek is now the league's top-scoring defender. The Pole today equalled his previous best record from the 2011/12 season.

Successful comeback: Raphael Guerreiro made his first competitive appearance since 5 November in Hamburg, where he set up the winner in a 2-1 victory.

Early goal: Borussia have now scored more Bundesliga goals in the first 15 minutes than any other team (eight). It was the fifth goal Werder have conceded in the first 15 minutes – that's more than any other club in the division.

Unbeaten run over: The defeat put an end to Werder's five-match unbeaten run.

Goal with ten men: Werder scored their first goal after having a player sent off since February 2013.
