Werder Bremen sets Bundesliga record with three consecutive 0-2 comebacks
Werder Bremen made Bundesliga history by becoming the first team to overcome a 0-2 deficit in three consecutive matches. During the Weserstadion's 100th anniversary celebration, Niclas Füllkrug scored twice—once in the 59th minute and again via a penalty in the 66th—to secure a 2-2 draw against SC Paderborn.
Füllkrug's performance has placed him at the top of the Bundesliga scoring charts with six goals in six matches. This form has sparked discussions regarding a potential return to the German national team. While football legend Lothar Matthäus has advocated for Füllkrug's inclusion to provide experienced stability, the striker has expressed frustration with the ongoing media speculation, stating he has addressed the topic 44 times and wishes to move past it.
In other German football news, Hamburger SV has achieved three consecutive victories following a difficult start to the season, a feat the club has not accomplished in over 15 years.
