Arsenal loanee Ethan Nwaneri caused a late own goal in Borussia Dortmund\u2019s favour, as his side came from two down to win 3-2 at Hoffenheim in a topsy-turvy Bundesliga clash.<\/p>\n
Hoffenheim were the better team for the opening hour but lost their way as Dortmund clicked into gear and romped to victory with three goals in the final 30 minutes.<\/p>\n
Hoffenheim were two up with 54 minutes played thanks to goals from Leon Avdullahu and Tim Lemperle.<\/p>\n
Nwaneri, who became the youngest player in Premier League history in 2024, arrived on a season-long loan from Arsenal on deadline day and came on with half an hour played after an injury for Filippo Mane.<\/p>\n
Striker Serhou Guirassy gave the hosts hope when he scored just after the hour mark and then set up Fabio Silva five minutes later.<\/p>\n
With just four minutes of regular time remaining, Nwaneri cut down the left and shot centrally, but his effort took a big deflection off home defender Albian Hajdari and into the goal.<\/p>\n
Bundesliga newcomers Elversberg continued their excellent top-flight arrival with a 4-3 win at Borussia M\u00f6nchengladbach, making it two wins from two this season.<\/p>\n
Gladbach took the lead twice and were 3-1 up midway through the second-half, but Elversberg fought back despite losing manager Vincent Wagner to a second yellow card just before the break.<\/p>\n
With 10 minutes left, Felix Keidel levelled the scores at 3-3 and Maurice Krattenmacher put the visitors in front in stoppage time with his second goal of the match.<\/p>\n
Bayer Leverkusen rebounded from their loss to Elversberg last Saturday by putting sorry Union Berlin to the sword in a 4-0 home victory.<\/p>\n
Argentina internationals Equi Fern\u00e1ndez and Facundo Medina had Leverkusen 2-0 up at half-time. England centre-back Jarell Quansah set up Patrik Schick for Leverkusen\u2019s third before Ibrahim Maza added a stylish fourth late on.<\/p>\n
West Ham loanee Niclas F\u00fcllkrug scored his second goal in three games since returning to Germany to help Werder Bremen win at home 3-1 against RB Leipzig. The Germany striker scored a long-range header, with Eren Dinkci and Marco Gr\u00fcll also getting on the scoresheet.<\/p>\n
Europa League finalists Freiburg continued their perfect start to the season with a solid 1-0 win away at promoted Paderborn.<\/p>\n
Defending champions Bayern Munich face promoted Schalke later on Saturday.<\/p>\n

In Spain, Athletic Bilbao thumped Atl\u00e9tico Madrid 3-0 on a miserable afternoon for Diego Simeone\u2019s side. Nico Williams, Robert Navarro and Oihan Sancet\u2019s goals gave the Basque hosts a resounding victory at San Mames.<\/p>\n
