Niclas Fuellkrug Hat-trick Sends Borussia Dortmund Past Bochum And Into Top Four
A hat-trick from Niclas Fuellkrug powered Borussia Dortmund to a 3-1 win over Bochum on Sunday, sending the home side into the top four of the Bundesliga. Fuellkrug opened the scoring from the spot just six minutes in but Bochum equalised late in the first half thanks to an own goal from Dortmund defender Nico Schlotterbeck. Fuellkrug headed Dortmund back into the lead midway through the second period, before adding another from the spot in injury time. Dortmund, who started 2024 six points off the Champions League places, have now leapfrogged RB Leipzig into the top four. Dortmund are just one point behind third-placed Stuttgart.
