In-form Shinji Kagawa shines as Dortmund's superb start to the season continues

The Japanese international is enjoying a glorious renaissance under the club’s new manager.

SHINJI KAGAWA IS a man in form as he helped Borussia Dortmund to a 3-1 Bundesliga victory over Hertha Berlin and send the club to the top of the league table on goal difference

The Japanese playmaker had a hand in two goals as Thomas Tuchel’s side made it three wins from three league games.

Kagawa scored twice midweek as Dortmund cantered to a 7-2 Europa League play-off victory over Norwegian outfit Odd and he’s relished a return to his favoured central position under Tuchel with Marco Reus and Henrikh Mkhitaryan supporting Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in a 4-3-3.

Kagawa made the first goal for Mats Hummels while his clever pass to Matthias Ginter ended with Aubameyang firing home. Adrian Ramos scored a third in stoppage time to add some gloss to the result.

No centre backs & outrageous Douglas Costa – Bayern’s win yesterday was all kinds of ridiculous
