Prolific Piszczek hopes Dortmund can now leave rivals in their wake
With one goal scored and a further two created, Lukasz Piszczek was the standout figure in Borussia Dortmund's convincing 3-0 win over VfL Wolfsburg.
With five goals already this term, the Pole has set a new personal best for a single season and he is currently the most prolific defender in the Bundesliga. The 31-year-old said it is just a case of getting himself within striking distance more frequently than before – that and the fact "the ball seems to come to me" when he is there.
