Borussia draw away at Leverkusen

Saturday brought mixed fortunes for the Bianconeri’s upcoming Champions League opponents Borussia Dortmund, whose commendable goalless draw away at high-flying Bayer Leverkusen was unable to prevent them from falling to the bottom of the league.

Boss Jurgen Klopp had spoken of the need to tighten up defensively ahead of their return to Bundesliga action, and he will have been happy with the way his men set about their task against a dangerous side lying in third position.

Klopp will be hoping to give his team’s relegation battle a timely boost by masterminding a win over FC Augsburg, who visit the Westfalenstadion on Wednesday night.
