• Teenager scores dazzling goal to cap 3-1 win at Arminia Bielefeld
• Bayern crush Hoffenheim 4-0; Milan win to hit top of Serie A

First half goals from Emre Can and Mats Hummels and a sensational effort by Jude Bellingham steered Borussia Dortmund to a comfortable 3-1 victory at Arminia Bielefeld.

Playing without injured Erling Haaland, who will be sidelined for several weeks with a hip injury, Dortmund were never troubled as they secured their seventh league win from nine matches and bounced back from their 4-0 Champions League humiliation at Ajax in midweek. They opened the scoring with Can’s 31st-minute penalty before they doubled their lead on the stroke of half-time via a stunning Hummels volley. Bellingham made sure of the three points in the 73rd minute, dribbling past three players inside the box and then beautifully chipping the ball over the keeper for a remarkable goal from the 18-year-old. A late penalty by Fabian Klos cut the deficit for the hosts but they remain in 17th place on five points.
