Borussia Dortmund had 11 shots to Leipzig's two and would have won by a higher margin if they had been more clinical in front of goal, but still managed beat second-placed RB by the same 1-0 scoreline that saw them prevail over league leaders Bayern Munich earlier this term. The men from Saxony's tally of just two shots – the last of which came in the 26th minute – was the joint-worst of any Bundesliga team this season.

Home unbeaten run continues: Borussia Dortmund are now unbeaten in 30 home games in the Bundesliga; the last such home streak was set by Bayern Munich at the turn of the millennium (2001-2003).

On the up and up: BVB have extended their unbeaten run to seven matches (three wins, four draws) and now sit in third following the victory, though Frankfurt could move back above them with a victory tomorrow.

Tenacious tackler: Sokratis is always in his element in such high-octane clashes; he won an impressive 76 percent of his one-on-one challenges and finished with the best tackle win rate of any player on the pitch.

Kingpin: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was involved in nine of BVB's 11 shots (five himself, four assisted).

Another opener: Aubameyang scored the opening goal for the fifth time this season; only Sandro Wagner (Hoffenheim) and Anthony Modeste (Köln) can match that tally.

Dynamic duo: Ousmane Dembélé has now provided eight assists in the Bundesliga this season, with six of those setting up Aubameyang.

Landmark: Lukasz Piszczek made his 250th appearance in the Black and Yellow of BVB.
