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 now set an astonishing record thanks to their Matchday 5 win over Bochum.
Nuri Şahin's side came from 2-0 down to beat Bochum 4-2 at Signal Iduna Park, making it 38 Bundesliga games unbeaten in front of their own fans in games on a Friday evening.

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 29 and drawn nine times under the Friday night Signal Iduna lights, breaking the previous record set by Werder Bremen.
