Gittens scores twice to secure Dortmund's 2-0 victory against Frankfurt in season opener

In their opening Bundesliga match of the season, Borussia Dortmund secured a solid 2-0 victory at home against Eintracht Frankfurt, thanks to two impressive goals from substitute Jamie Gittens in the second half.

Dortmund, who finished fifth last season, broke the deadlock in the 72nd minute after struggling to find their rhythm against a feisty Frankfurt who contained their opponents with high pressing.

England under-21 international Gittens scored with a superb strike from a tight angle that sailed into the top far corner after cutting inside the box from the right.

Frankfurt came close to a late equaliser but saw their hopes of salvaging a point dashed as Gittens scored his second after a quick counter-attack in stoppage time to earn coach Nuri Sahin his first three points at the helm.
