Dortmund beat Werder Bremen to go top of Bundesliga

Borussia Dortmund produced a stern display to beat a resilient Werder Bremen side and go top of the Bundesliga, and maintained their perfect start to the league this season.

Robert Lewandowski's tap from close range after a Marco Reus cross was the only goal of the match after 10 minutes from the start of the second half, with Nuri Sahin missing from a volley and substitute Pierre Emerick Aubameyang missing some chances as well.


Franco Di Santo was the only player to come close for the visitors, who rarely threatened the Dortmund keeper Roman Weidenfaller's goal. 


This is the first time that Dortmund win the 3 opening matches of the season since 2001, the year which they won the title.
