Borussia Dortmund grabbed an away win over Werder Bremen on match day 23, keeping a league leading 9th clean sheet in their 2-0 win.

Dan-Axel Zagadou and Erling Haaland scored for Borussia Dortmund in their 2-0 win over Werder Bremen after a sluggish first half that saw neither side find their rhythm.

With Bayern scoring last minute on Friday to beat Paderborn, Dortmund really needed to get all three points in this game. Not only for the title race but having just lost to Bremen away from home in the DFB Pokal, Dortmund needed a win against them.

The result keeps the Black and Yellows four points behind Bayern Munich, and three behind RB Leipzig, who beat Schalke 04 5-0 today.

Here we take a look at some of the key takeaways from Dortmund’s win.
