Elite football is back. We are under way in the five Bundesliga matches.


This match almost has a pre-season feel to it at the moment. Dortmund are 14 points better off than their bitter rivals, but you cannot really tell that on the basis of the opening 11 minutes.


Dortmund have a chance to swing in a free-kick from a wide area, but the flag goes up for offside. There is a brief pause for the referee to check in with the video assistant referee because of Kenny's possible handball infringement.

Almost 30mins and we are yet to have a goal


Modified: The goal machine scores!!!!!

Haaland 1-0 Schalke


Erling Haaland has scored 10 goals in his first nine Bundesliga appearances.

He is the sixth player in Bundesliga history to manage his 10th goal before his 10th game, say data company Gracenote.(BBC Sports)

Borussia Dortmund are completely rampant here. Another wonderful move and Raphael Guerreiro plays a one-two with Erling Braut Haaland before poking home a confident finish with the outside of his boot making it 4

That's it.
