Nathan Tella opened his account for the season in dramatic fashion as Bayer Leverkusen edged Borussia Dortmund 3-2 in an exhilarating Bundesliga clash on Friday night.
Playing at Signal Iduna Park, the visitors secured a crucial victory that reinforces their title credentials. Tella, who joined Leverkusen from Southampton in 2023, netted his first goal of the season in his 12th league appearance, ending a frustrating drought.
Leverkusen’s attacking quality was on full display as they outmaneuvered a resilient Dortmund side. Despite Dortmund’s best efforts, including a late push for an equalizer, the defending Bundesliga champions held firm to claim all three points.
This victory boosts Leverkusen’s momentum as they continue their pursuit of another league title, while Dortmund will be left to regroup after another setback in their campaign.
