Borussia Dortmund earned their first Bundesliga win in five games with a 2-1 victory at bottom side Eintracht Braunschweig on Friday with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scoring both their goals.
Dortmund welcomed back Germany centre-back Mats Hummels after two months out with an ankle injury.
The 25 year old rescued Dortmund with a challenge on replacement Karim Bellarabi in the dying stages as Dortmund stayed third, 14 points behind leaders Bayern Munich.
The night belonged to Aubameyang who, along with Poland striker Robert Lewandowski, finished the match with 11 league goals for the season – the same tally as the entire Braunschweig team.
“That was a very difficult game for us, so we’re very happy about the win,” said Aubameyang.
The Gabon right-winger headed home a Lewandowski cross in the first-half, then fired home the winner from Marco Reus’ pass 25 minutes from the final whistle.
His pin-point winner saved Dortmund’s blushes after hosts Braunschweig had equalised when defender Benjamin Kessel tapped home on 54 minutes, despite a posse of Borussia defenders.
“We’re very happy, even if it was a dirty win,” admitted Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller.
“We know that it wasn’t a good game, but we can build on the victory.”
In a frantic final 10 minutes, Borussia’s Lewandowski, Reus, Aubameyang and midfielder Nuri Sahin all had chances to add a third.
Braunschweig’s attacking midfielder Bellarabi also had a late shot saved, while centre-back Ermin Bicakcic’s header rebounded off the inside of the post.
Dortmund’s attacking midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan also hit the post two minutes from time with Braunschweig goalkeeper Daniel Davari well beaten.
This was Dortmund’s first win since November 30 after suffering two defeats and two draws.

Ziina users can donate to relief efforts in Beirut
Ziina users will be able to use the app to help relief efforts in Beirut, which has been left reeling after an August blast caused an estimated $15 billion in damage and left thousands homeless. Ziina has partnered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to raise money for the Lebanese capital, co-founder Faisal Toukan says. “As of October 1, the UNHCR has the first certified badge on Ziina and is automatically part of user's top friends' list during this campaign. Users can now donate any amount to the Beirut relief with two clicks. The money raised will go towards rebuilding houses for the families that were impacted by the explosion.”
