After going a goal down in the second minute, Serhou Guirassy and Nico Schlotterbeck's first-half strikes were followed up with Samuele Inacio's finish 18 minutes from time.

But the Westfalenstadion was stunned into silence after just 78 seconds when former Dortmund man Mahmoud Dahoud wriggled his way past three defenders before teeing up Can Uzun, who guided the ball into the bottom-right corner.

Dortmund improved thereafter, and only a stunning stop from Michael Zetterer denied Inacio's point-blank header, but the Eintracht goalkeeper was picking the ball out of his net twice in quick succession at the end of the first half. 

Guirassy swept in a 42nd-minute equaliser, before Schlotterbeck steered Maximilian Beier's cross from the left into the far corner two minutes later to complete the turnaround.

Niko Kovac's side started strongly in the second half as Julian Ryerson saw his near-post effort repelled by Zetterer, although Uzun's shot from the edge of the box kept Gregor Kobel on his toes just after the hour mark.

Inacio thought he had sealed a comfortable win when he rounded off a fine team move involving Jobe Bellingham and Beier in the 72nd minute, but Eintracht made things interesting when Jonathan Burkardt tapped in three minutes from time.

Despite Jean-Matteo Bahoya curling narrowly wide of the right post just more than a minute later, Dortmund held on for its 21st Bundesliga win of the season.
