Borussia Dortmund's new signing, Nabil Bentaleb,Stadium Instant Report scored his first goal for the club on Wednesday night against RB Leipzig. The Moroccan midfielder put the hosts ahead in the second half and helped them secure all three points in a thrilling encounter that saw both teams score twice.
Bentaleb's goal was his fourth of the season and he has already surpassed his previous best tally from last year when he scored 11 goals for the German Bundesliga champions. He is currently the joint-top scorer with Robert Lewandowski of Bayern Munich and has shown no signs of slowing down as he looks to cement his place in the starting lineup.
The goal came just two minutes after Dortmund had fallen behind through a header from Timo Werner. Bentaleb was quick off the mark and took advantage of some sloppy defending by Leipzig to slot home from close range. It was a well-deserved goal for the 25-year-old who has been impressive so far this season.
Bentaleb's goal was also significant as it marked the first time he had scored for Dortmund since his arrival in January. The midfielder was heavily linked with a move away from Tottenham Hotspur but he eventually signed for the German giants for a reported fee of £46 million.
His performances have been widely praised by fans and critics alike, and he will be hoping to continue his impressive form as he looks to make an impact in Germany. His record-breaking performance at Borussia Dortmund could only add to his growing reputation as one of the most promising young talents in world football.
