Borussia Dortmund loan watch: Ansgar Knauff scores his first goal for Eintracht Frankfurt

Borussia Dortmund loanee Ansgar Knauff scored his first goal for Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday as they cruised to a 4-1 win over Hertha Berlin.

Ansgar Knauff enjoyed a memorable afternoon in Berlin on Saturday as he helped Eintracht Frankfurt claim a 4-1 win away to Hertha BSC. Making his second start for the Eagles, the Borussia Dortmund loanee opened the scoring in the 17th minute with a fantastic header after getting on the end of Filip Kostic’s cross.

It was Knauff’s first goal since joining Eintracht Frankfurt from Borussia Dortmund on an 18-month loan deal in January. The 20 year old continued to cause problems to the Hertha defence even after his goal. He helped make the second goal happen with a dangerous cross into the box.

Tuta, Jesper Lindstrøm and Rafael Santos Borré were also on target for Eintracht Frankfurt as they ended a run of three straight defeats with a dominant win. Marcel Lotka, who will join Borussia Dortmund in the summer, played in goal for Hertha Berlin.

Borussia Dortmund-bound Niklas Süle scores, but Bayern drop points

Niklas Süle was also on target on Saturday. The defender, who will join Borussia Dortmund on a free transfer in the summer, opened the scoring for Bayern Munich with a fine finish in the first half after Bayer Leverkusen failed to clear their lines from a corner.

Bayer Leverkusen managed to get back on level terms in the 36th minute, with Thomas Müller scoring an own goal. Neither side was able to find a winner, and the game ended 1-1.

Bayern Munich now find themselves nine points clear of Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga standings. Although the Black and Yellows do have a game in hand.
