    Frankfurt 1-2 Borussia Dortmund: Magical Mkhitaryan fires Klopp's side top

    The Armenian star struck in each half to cancel out Vaclav Kadlec's
    goal and sees BVB leapfrog Bayern Munich with four wins from four in
    the Bundesliga.


    Two terrific goals from Henrikh Mkhitaryan handed Borussia Dortmund a
    2-1 win over Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday, moving the club to the top
    of the Bundesliga.

    The Armenian struck either side of Vaclav Kadlec's goal to see Jurgen
    Klopp's side leapfrog Bayern Munich with its fourth win in four league
    games against a spirited Frankfurt side.

    Dortmund made one change from a 1-0 win over Werder Bremen last week,
    with Sven Bender replacing Sebastian Kehl in midfield.

    For the home side, recent signings Stephan Schrock and Kadlec both
    featured in the starting lineup as Armin Veh's men went in search of
    consecutive Bundesliga wins.

    Frankfurt started brightly and created an early chance when Japan
    international Takashi Inui tested Dortmund goalkeeper Roman
    Weidenfeller.

    At the other end, Marco Reus set up Jakub Blaszczykowski, but he could
    only fire straight at keeper Kevin Trapp.

    Dortmund did score an early goal though, as Armenian Mkhitaryan calmly
    slid home a through ball.

    Blaszczykowski slipped the ball in behind the Frankfurt defense and
    Mkhitaryan did the rest, timing his run well before slotting a
    left-footed effort past Trapp.

    Kadlec had a terrific chance to level proceedings but was denied by
    good defending from Marcel Schmelzer, before Weidenfeller kept out the
    dangerous Czech forward moments later.

    Kadlec was a constant threat though, and opened his Frankfurt account
    10 minutes before the break after reacting quickly to a loose ball,
    knocking home the rebound from Stefan Aigner's cross to send the sides
    level into the break.

    Parity was not to last long, however, as Mkhitaryan fired home his
    second of the afternoon within 15 minutes of the restart. The
    attacking midfielder cut in from the right before dribbling along the
    edge of the penalty area and striking powerfully past Trapp.

    Dortmund almost scored a third goal shortly after, but defender Neven
    Subotic saw his header hit the post.

    The visiting side enjoyed good spells of possession in the latter
    stages but could not find another goal to kill the game off.

    Dortmund held on for victory though, as Jurgen Klopp's men - who have
    lost just two Bundesliga matches on the road since Sept. 2011 - made
    it four wins from as many games this season, leapfrogging champion
    Bayern Munich into first place in the table.
