What happened. Ethan Nwaneri made his first start for Borussia Dortmund in their 3-0 win over Paderborn, his third appearance since joining on loan from Arsenal on transfer deadline day. He was substituted after 65 minutes with Dortmund leading 1-0.

• Fabio Silva opened the scoring in the fifth minute before Felix Nmecha struck twice late on.
• The result kept Niko Kovac's side joint-top of the Bundesliga alongside Freiburg.
• German media gave a mixed response to the England Under-21 international's display.

Nwaneri will look to build on his first start as Dortmund aim to stay unbeaten at the top.
