Bundesliga leaders Borussia Dortmund's mini-slump continued on Saturday as they wasted a two-goal lead and settled for a 2-2 draw at Eintracht Frankfurt.

The slip allows Bayern Munich a chance to go level on points with a win at Hamburg later on Saturday.

Nuri Sahin scored inside the first 20 minutes and Maximilian Philipp put Dortmund in a comfortable position with a goal from a counterattack before the hour mark.

But Sebastian Haller pulled one back with a coolly taken penalty minutes later, before Marius Wolf equalised with a shot inside the far corner for his first Bundesliga goal.

Jadon Sancho came on for his Bundesliga debut but the 17-year-old English prospect was denied in the final minute by Frankfurt goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky, before Sahin's effort from the rebound was cleared off the line.

It was Dortmund's fourth game without a win from five matches across all competitions.
