It was an intense match involving two teams that pressed aggressively for the full 90 minutes, with each covering 118 kilometres. Both teams had 50 percent possession and a 74 percent pass completion rate, while BVB had the better tackle win rate (52 percent).

Chances clear but few and far between: Borussia Dortmund did have gilt-edged opportunities but only four attempts on goal in total – only four shots in a Bundesliga match is BVB's lowest tally since a 1-1 draw in Leverkusen back in October 2009.

Complete collection: Before today, Rasenballsport Leipzig were the only top-flight team Marco Reus had failed to score a goal against in the Bundesliga. The attacking midfielder scored for the third game in a row. His last such goalscoring run came in autumn 2015.

Strong provider: Mahmoud Dahoud's outstanding pass to set up Marco Reus was his fourth assist of the season. He has set up four different team-mates. Dahoud covered more ground than any other player on the pitch (13.4 kilometres) and was involved in the most challenges (32).

Comeback qualities: BVB have now come from behind to secure a draw or a victory on five occasions since the arrival of Peter Stöger. (br)
