Borussia Dortmund's extraordinary home record on Fridays
Some people like to switch off from work once Friday night comes around, but not Borussia Dortmund, who have extended their astonishing record with victory over St. Pauli on Matchday 7.
Nuri Şahin's side won 2-1 at the Signal Iduna Park, making it 39 Bundesliga games unbeaten in front of their own fans in games on a Friday evening.

It was the third time this season alone that Dortmund have given their fans a Friday night treat, having earlier recorded 4-2 victories against Bochum and Heidenheim.
Indeed, the last time Dortmund lost at home on a Friday was over 20 years ago, back in January 2004, when they were beaten 1-0 by local rivals Schalke.
Since then, they have won 30 and drawn nine times under the Friday night Signal Iduna lights, breaking the previous record set by Werder Bremen (37 games).
