BERLIN: Borussia Dortmund have now gone three Bundesliga games without a win although they fought back from two goals down to draw 3-3 at Ingolstadt yesterday.

Dortmund were 2-0 down as Israel international Almog Cohen and Paraguay’s Dario Lezcano netted for Ingolstadt, who punished the visitors for sloppy defending from set-pieces.

Cohen got free of his marker from a free-kick before Lezcano looped his header into the top corner.

Borussia hit back when Mario Gotze set up Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to head home his seventh goal in his seven league games on 59 minutes, only for Lezcano to net Ingolstadt’s third less than 60 seconds later to make it 3-1.

Dortmund dominated the final quarter as Adrian Ramos pulled a goal back on 69 minutes and Christian Pulisic scored the crucial equaliser in stoppage time.

The draw saw Ingolstadt climb off the bottom above Hamburg, who lost 3-0 to Eintracht Frankfurt on Friday.

Bayer Leverkusen slumped to a 3-0 defeat at home to Hoffenheim after playing virtually the entire match with 10 men.

Kevin Volland earned the fastest red card of the season with just six minutes gone for bringing down Kerem Demirbay, who was through on goal.

Demirbay then put Hoffenheim ahead on 15 minutes and ex-Bayern forward Sandro Wagner was left to roam free in the area as he slotted home on 49 minutes.

Bayer coach Roger Schmidt was sent to the stands for arguing with the referee in the wake of the second goal before Swiss midfielder Steven Zuber netted the visitors’ third.

Ten-man Wolfsburg were defeated 3-1 at Darmstadt which left them seven games without a win.
