18-year-old American attacker Christian Pulisic scored his third Bundesliga goal of the campaign and registered his fifth assist in Borussia Dortmund’s 6-2 victory over Bayer Leverkusen.
Pulisic entered the match in the 44th minute after an injury to Marco Reus forced him off. The German international is expected to be sidelined until April with his latest injury setback.
With Chicharito entering the match in the 66th minute and Wendell pulling a goal back for Bayer to make the scoreline 3-2 in the 74th minute, Pulisic’s composed finish dashed any hopes of a comeback.

Pulisic then added an assist when he laid the ball off for Raphael Guerreiro to fire home in stoppage time.
That's how you make an impact! 1 goal, 1 assist off the bench. Not bad, Pulisic. #BVBB04 #USMNT https://t.co/ZbGdgInDU5

The win moved Dortmund up to third in the table, with only six points separating them from second place RB Leipzig. Bayer now sit in ninth place in a disappointing Bundesliga campaign.
