Bielefeld competed well in the opening 45 minutes – and never gave up. BVB put themselves on the path to victory with two quick goals after the interval, which was certainly deserved given their 60% share of possession and their superior shot count of 20-8. The Black & Yellows have only had more shots in one game this term: the reverse fixture in Bielefeld (21). Here are the match facts.

Outstanding: Jadon Sancho had the ball 86 times – an exorbitant number for an attacking player. He played a part in the first two goals – first as provider and then as scorer – and was involved in nine of BVB's 20 shots. In 2021, he has been directly involved in 12 of Dortmund's 22 Bundesliga goals (six goals, six assists).

History-maker: Sancho became the first player in the history of the Bundesliga to reach 50 assists in fewer than 100 games. This was his 99th game in the top tier.

Home record: Borussia Dortmund have yet to lose a home game under Edin Terzic; there have been four wins and two draws in the Bundesliga and DFB Cup.

Strong after the restart: BVB have now scored 12 goals this season in the quarter of an hour following the restart – one more than in the entirety of last season (11).

Lively: Marco Reus was involved in eight shots and won the penalty that made it 2-0, but was unlucky to see his strike hit the crossbar.

League penalty: Jadon Sancho took his first-ever penalty in the Bundesliga and scored. He had previously netted from the spot in the UEFA Champions League and the DFB Cup.

London buses: Mo Dahoud scored his first Bundesliga goal since August 2018. Ten days earlier, he had netted in Sevilla in the Champions League.

Landmark: Giovanni Reyna made his 50th competitive appearance for Dortmund.

Debut goal: Reinier scored his first Bundesliga goal 28 seconds after coming off the bench.

Comeback: Thorgan Hazard made his first Bundesliga appearance since the end of November, and therefore his first under Edin Terzic.
