Borussia Dortmund drop more points in Frankfurt draw

Published on: 21 October 2017

Eintracht Frankfurt celebrate after equalising through Marius Wolf.

Borussia Dortmund's poor run of form continued as they threw away a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 at Eintracht Frankfurt.

Dortmund -- beaten 3-2 by RB Leipzig last weekend and then held away to Apoel Nicosia in the Champions League in midweek -- had led through Nuri Sahin and Maximilian Philipp goals.

However, Frankfurt -- who saw U.S. international Timothy Chandler injured in the first half -- reduced the arrears through Sebastien Haller's penalty on 64 minutes and Marius Wolf equalised shortly afterwards.

Dortmund handed England youth international Jadon Sancho a debut on 83 minutes as they sought to force a winner, although Sahin had a late effort cleared off the line.

The result could allow Bayern Munich to move level on points at the top of the table if they beat Hamburg later on Saturday.
