Borussia Dortmund drop to bottom of Bundesliga after Frankfurt loss

Last season’s runners-up Borussia Dortmund dropped to last place in the Bundesliga on Sunday after their 2-0 loss at Eintracht Frankurt as VfL Wolfsburg tightened their hold on second spot.

Beleaguered Dortmund hit the woodwork and wasted a host of chances in a largely one-sided game but could do nothing to come back from a fifth-minute goal by Bundesliga top scorer Alexander Meier, who took his tally to eight.

Dortmund instantly took control after the setback but missed chance after chance with Henrikh Mkhitaryan failing twice to score from a clear position.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s shot in the 24th minute was blocked by goalkeeper Felix Wiedwald and Kevin Grosskreutz’s rebound shook the post.

Dortmund, Bundesliga champions in 2011 and 2012, could not even score when coach Jürgen Klopp, who will surely start to feel some pressure after years of success, brought on a second striker in Adrián Ramos with the Colombian wasting his share of opportunities.
