Heidenheim's Marnon Busch ends lengthy goal drought
Heidenheim defender Marnon Busch scored his first Bundesliga goal in over 11 years on Matchday 28, ending one of the division's longest personal droughts on record.
Busch was the unlikeliest of outfield goalscorers as bottom side Heidenheim hit back from 1-0 down to take the lead against Borussia Mönchengladbach, before being made to settle for a 2-2 draw.
Watch: Gladbach 2-2 Heidenheim - highlights
Busch's only other goals for Heidenheim - four in total - fell in Bundesliga 2. His other effort at top-flight level came in the colours of Werder Bremen, in a 2-1 defeat to Wolfsburg on 17 September 2014.
Some 4,207 days sandwiched Busch's strikes against Wolfsburg and Gladbach, representing the second-longest drought between goals in Bundesliga history.
Bernd Schuster spent 13 years in Spain between scoring in the Bundesliga for Cologne on 3 May 1980 and Bayer Leverkusen on 7 September 1993 - a span of 4,875 days.
Eight points adrift of the relegation play-off spot following the draw in Mönchengladbach, Busch & Co. have six games left of the regular season to salvage a fourth successive campaign of Bundesliga football.
