Adeyemi seals third straight win Borussia Dortmund
Karim Adeyemi's stunning first-half strike earned Borussia Dortmund a third consecutive win with its 1-0 victory over Wolfsburg.
Dortmund's impressive early-season form continued at Signal Iduna Park as it moved to second in the Bundesliga, closing the gap to leader Bayern Munich.
Adeyemi started the game well, bending an effort wide of the far post after checking inside within the first two minutes before drilling a low shot against his own team-mate just moments later.
Wolfsburg upped the pressure afterwards without testing Gregor Kobel, and an unchallenged Adeyemi broke the deadlock in style 20 minutes in, whipping a powerful shot past Kamil Grabara from range.
Maximilian Beier should have doubled the lead shortly before the break – after a blistering counter-attack, he fired straight at Grabara, who got fully behind it.
Wolfsburg came within inches of levelling the score just before the hour mark, with Konstantinos Koulierakis's instinctive effort from close range rattling the crossbar and bouncing on the line without crossing it.
Felix Nmecha saw a header tipped onto the crossbar by Grabara, and though Dortmund's late pressure did not result in a second goal, it got over the line.
