  "account": "Borussia Dortmund maintained their flawless record in the Bundesliga on Saturday, defeating promoted Paderborn 3-0 to extend their unbeaten streak to three matches. Felix Nmecha netted twice, while Fabio Silva added another goal. The victory marked Dortmund's best start in 11 seasons since Thomas Tuchel's tenure. For the first time this season, Silva teamed up with Serhou Guirassy up front, who had two goals ruled offside in the first half. Substitute Nmecha scored a brace in the second half, including a stunning late bicycle kick. Dortmund captain Nico Schlotterbeck returned to action for the first time since injuring his ankle at the World Cup. Coach Niko Kovac also revealed that winger Konstantinos Karetsas, who was stretchered off during a Champions League match, was back in training. Elsewhere, Freiburg defeated Borussia Moenchengladbach 5-0, climbing to the top of the Bundesliga table. In a late game, West Ham loanee Niclas Fuellkrug scored the equalizer for Werder Bremen in a 1-1 draw at Cologne.",
