Borussia Dortmund continued their impressive start to the Bundesliga season as they secured a fourth straight win on Saturday, seeing off Augsburg 2-1.

Peter Bosz's men shook off their 3-1 Champions League home loss to Real Madrid by their stretching their unbeaten start to the league campaign to seven matches.

Shinji Kagawa became the Bundesliga's all-time leading Japanese goalscorer, with his 38th strike, moving past Shinji Okazaki.

Andriy Yarmolenko hit his first Bundesliga goal on his fourth appearance following his £20m summer switch from Dynamo Kiev.

Brazil forward Caiuby found the net for the hosts, but Augsburg were unable to stop Dortmund extending their fine start to the new term.

Simon Haller's impressive stoppage-time strike edged Eintracht Frankfurt past Stuttgart 2-1.

Ante Rebic's second goal in as many games had seen Frankfurt take the lead just before half-time before substitute Simon Terodde equalised with his first touch for Stuttgart.

Stuttgart then had Simon Falette sent off, and had appeared ready to ride out that setback for a point - until Frenchman Haller popped up with Frankfurt's winner.

Thorgan Hazard sunk high-flying Hannover with a penalty in the fourth minute of added time as Borussia Monchengladbach earned a last-gasp 2-1 win.

Defender Mattias Ginter put Monchengladbach into the lead, before Martin Harnik levelled with his fifth league goal of the season.

But just when Hannover expected to head home with a draw, Hazard settled the contest with almost the game's final kick.

Liverpool loanee Divock Origi missed a fine chance as Wolfsburg drew 1-1 with Mainz.

France midfielder Josuha Guilavogui put Wolfsburg ahead with a powerful header, but Yoshinori Muto later levelled for Mainz with a smart header of his own.

Hosts Wolfsburg held on for the draw despite a late red card for Paul-Georges Ntep.

The local derby between Hamburg and Werder Bremen ended goalless, leaving both sides struggling at the wrong end of the table.
