Matchday 8 was one for the brace-baggers, with Timo Werner and Christopher Nkunku doubling up for RB Leipzig and Niclas Füllkrug also netting twice in Werder Bremen’s 5-1 demolition of Borussia Mönchengladbach. That takes Füllkrug to seven for the season and top spot on the individual scoring chart for good measure. At 29, he is in the form of his life and potentially even firing his way into contention for a place at the World Cup with Germany, whom he represented at youth level many a year ago. It’s a heady and belated rise for a striker playing second-flight football last season.
