If It's November, Dortmund Must Be Beating FC Bayern

It seems the Bundesliga's lord and master is making a habit of keeping the conference interesting in its early stages.

And who should be in the a factor in FC Bayern's bad patches?

Die Roten blew outta the gates for the first month before being held to a draw by Augsburg on 25 Sep.

 

Indeed. Little did Bayern know, but their annual swoon had begun.

From then 'til now, the perennial champions have gone 2-2-3 and find themselves fifth in the table, seven points adrift of the leader.

And who dealt Bayern their latest setback?

 

Who else?

The German chapter of Killer Bees, to the tune of a 3-2 thriller at Signal Iduna Park in the latest chapter of Der Klassiker.

What's more, Borussia Dortmund came from behind twice -- on strikes from the spot by Marco Reus -- to offset a pair of Robert Lewandowski goals before Paco Alcácer came off the bench to offer the winner.

 

 

Damn right!

What else would Russians be doing for thrills if it wasn't for the Bundesliga being piped into their homes?

 

Proof yet again that football saves lives.

Anyway, emotions always seem to run hotter in the Dortmund camp, since FC Bayern sometimes consider them to be a mere feeder club. So this result is savored more than most.

As an added bonus for this win, Die Borussen are enjoying their view from the top:
