Lewandowski powers Dortmund past Leverkusen

Robert Lewandowski continued his fine
season by scoring the game-winning goal in Borussia Dortmund’s 3-2 defeat of
Bayer Leverkusen at the BayArena on Sunday.
The Polish striker brought his league scoring tally to 12 goals on the season
to break a 2-2 deadlock just after the hour mark, lifting Dortmund above
Leverkusen and into second place in the Bundesliga table.

Dortmund has won four straight Bundesliga matches to improve to 39 points, two
points clear of Leverkusen, which is winless in its last two league outings.
The visitors grabbed an early two-goal lead when Marco Reus opened the scoring
in the second minute and Jakub Blaszczykowski converted a penalty seven
minutes later.
Dortmund held the advantage until halftime, but the match exploded on the
opposite side of the interval with three goals in the span of five minutes.
Stefan Reinartz had brought Leverkusen level with goals in the 57th and 61st
minutes, his first tallies of the season. But Dortmund answered thanks to
Lewandowski’s telling strike in the 62nd minute.
Jurgen Klopp’s side had a chance to extend the lead in the 69th minute when
Blaszczykowski stepped up to attempt his second penalty of the match, but he
was denied this time by a superb save from Bernd Leno.
Nurnberg 2, Monchengladbach 1
Nurnberg, Germany – A pair of first-half goals earned Nurnberg a 2-1 defeat of
Monchengladbach at the Frankenstadion on Sunday.
A penalty from Timmy Simons got Nurnberg off the mark after just four minutes
while Tomas Pekhart strike at the half-hour mark proved to be the game-winner
after Patrick Herrmann pulled one back for Monchengladbach in the second half.
Nurnberg pulls further away from the relegation zone by improving to 24 points
on the season while Monchengladbach remains on 29 points.
