Dortmund climb to Bundesliga summit

Beier came into Saturday's match stung by the disappointment of missing out of Jurgen Klopp's expanded 44-man Germany squad announced on Thursday, after being part of the country's World Cup squad. He had a big chance just four minutes in but headed wide from close range.

Former Leicester forward Bilal El Khannouss had a good opportunity for the hosts just before the break, but shot narrowly past the post. Summer arrival Konstantinos Karetsas, who was stretchered off the pitch with a cardiovascular issue earlier in September in the Champions League, made his return for Dortmund off the bench just after the hour mark.

With 20 minutes remaining, the Greek teenager slid a clever pass to Bellingham who drilled a low ball across the area for Beier to give the visitors all three points. Frankfurt clip Freiburg's wings. Freiburg missed a chance to stay atop the table after being held to a 2-2 draw at Eintracht Frankfurt earlier on Saturday.

Bayern Munich's ruthless 7-0 win over Union Berlin on Friday put the Bavarians ahead of Freiburg but the Black Forest outfit failed to respond as they dropped points for the first time this season. Several new members of Klopp's big Germany squad shone on both sides in a see-sawing encounter.

Frankfurt's Younes Ebnoutalib finished off a lovely team move to score 10 minutes in, just days after celebrating a surprise maiden Germany call-up. Derry Scherhant, another of Klopp's lesser-known additions, levelled things up for Freiburg but Jonathan Burkardt edged Frankfurt back in front.

Scherhant created a second for Yuito Suzuki to grab Freiburg a point and leave them level with Bayern on 10 points. Freiburg's Philipp Treu, another member of Klopp's new-look Germany squad, : "Of course, I would have liked to join the national team as the league leader -- with my head held high.

"But now we're the hunters again. And we enjoy that, too. "West Ham loanee Niclas Fuellkrug continued his stunning form on his return to Germany, scoring for a third straight Bundesliga match as hosts Werder Bremen came from two goals down to win 3-2 against Augsburg.

Fuellkrug levelled things up with a blistering long-range effort in the 86th minute, before former Bayern defender Mitchell Weiser blasted in a winner in stoppage time. Elsewhere, Hamburg notched their first goal, win and points of the season in a comfortable 2-1 home victory over Cologne.

Albert Gronbaek laid on goals for Nicolas Capaldo and Yussuf Poulsen to help the hosts, one of the historical giants of German football, drag themselves off the bottom of the table. Hamburg climbed past Borussia Moenchengladbach, who lost their fourth straight game in a wild 4-3 defeat by visitors Mainz.

Just days after bidding farewell to sacked coach Eugen Polanski, things went from bad to worse for the hosts. Gladbach also missed a penalty in the defeat and are now the only Bundesliga side without a point after four matchdays.
