It took just 34 minutes for new boy Michy Batshuayi to get his first goal for Borussia Dortmund. Fullback Jeremy Toljan, who is eligible to play for the USA, Germany and Croatia at the senior national level (please pick the USA, Jeremy) supplied the assist.

Batshuayi's celebration was short-lived, though, because Cologne equalized.
However, Batshuayi answered with cause for another celebration, this time via a Christian Pulisic assist.

Cologne equalized again, but veteran Andre Schurrle saved the game for Dortmund late.

With his off-ball movement and work rate, Batshuayi could be a force to be reckoned with at Dortmund. As long as he has his American pipeline feeding him the ball.
