Borussia Dortmund won a point for themselves after having trailed for the first time this season. Up until the red card, the shots on goal ratio read 10-1 in Leverkusen's favour. Thereafter, it read 9-5 for Dortmund. Bayer gave everything they had, and despite being a man down for a long time, did not run one kilometre less than BVB.

The Right Remedy: Borussia Dortmund have only lost one of their last eleven away games in Leverkusen.

Ball Magnet: Nuri Sahin had 141 touches of the ball, almost as many as the three players with the most touches of the ball for Leverkusen (Havertz 59, Brandt 59, Tah 48). A total of four Borussia players had more than 100 touches of the ball: alongside Sahin, Schmelzer (134), Guerreiro (115) and Subotic (107).

Classy Keeper: Roman Bürki stopped Volland from taking the game to 0-2 just before the equaliser came for 1-1, saving a total of eight attempts on goal, and equalling with that his own record at BVB that he set in October at Wolfsburg.

Away Goal Getter: Andrey Yarmolenko has scored all of his five BVB goals away from home (three in the Bundesliga, and one apiece in the UEFA Champions League and DFB Cup).

Earliest Substitution: No other player has needed to be substituted as early as Maximilian Philipp did so far this season.
