Silva’s service is late 1 2

-

Borussia Dortmund Eintracht Frankfurt

BORUSSIA DORTMUND warmed up for their Champions League clash with Manchester City by crashing again to Eintracht Frankfurt.

And they face a major fight to make next season’s tournament – unless they win Europe’s premier cup competitio­n – as they continue to slide down the Bundesliga table.

Striker Andre Silva (above) headed in an 87th-minute winner to give his side a boost in their bid for the top four.

Silva headed in a Filip Kostic cross for his 22nd league goal of the season to lift Frankfurt seven points clear of Dortmund in fifth.

Frankfurt led after Dortmund’s Nico Schulz wrongfoote­d his own keeper with a header in the 11th minute.

A labouring Dortmund – with Erling Haaland having little service – were fortunate appeals for a clear handball by Thomas Delaney were waved away.

Mats Hummels volleyed in the equaliser only for

Silva’s late interventi­on.
